About the Role
To be employed in this role you must pass an enhanced safeguarding check. Our stores operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with flexible shift patterns. Weekends are a requirement of the role, and we may need to be flexible with your work pattern.
Our in-store Pharmacies are popular with customers. You will be confident and relaxed discussing personal health issues, resolving customer problems, and guiding customers to the right products. You will also spend time accurately assembling and processing prescriptions. You will drive awareness of extra pharmacy services (e.g., Prescription Collection Service, Medicines Use Reviews). You will support the Pharmacist with delivery and record-keeping of patient services (blood pressure checks, stop smoking schemes). You will follow strict Standard Operating Procedures to meet customer expectations. You may collect prescriptions from customers’ doctors’ surgeries and bring them to the store for collection.
