About the role:
Our community pharmacies play a key part in caring for the health and wellbeing of our customers and members. As the largest Co-operative Pharmacy group, our pharmacies offer so much more than just exceptional customer service! From prescriptions and flu vaccines to podiatry and sports therapy, we’re passionate about looking after the health needs of our patients.
An essential link between our pharmacies and patients, our Pharmacy Home Drivers are compassionate and friendly colleagues delivering prescriptions to customers in their own homes. Working closely with our pharmacies and pharmacy warehouse team, your key role will be to ensure that these health care products are delivered to the right patients at the right time with an efficient but secure service. As hardworking and trustworthy brand ambassadors you’ll be interacting with some of the most vulnerable residents of our communities, helping to make a real difference to their lives and put a smile on their faces! Other duties will include:
1. Completing daily vehicle safety checks, ensuring that they remain clean and safe to carry medicines
2. Planning and organising patient deliveries and prescription collection from doctors’ surgeries in a confidential manner.
