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, offering a wide variety of shift patterns. This role requires flexible working and weekend shifts. As a Pharmacy Colleague you will provide warm and friendly service, confidently discuss personal health issues, quickly resolve customer problems, and direct customers to the appropriate products.
You will spend time accurately assembling and processing prescriptions, drive awareness of additional services such as Prescription Collection Service and Medicines Use Reviews, and support the Pharmacist with delivering patient services (blood pressure checks, stop smoking schemes, etc.). You will develop an understanding of the strict Standard Operating Procedures and work to them so that customers expect nothing less. You may also collect customers’ prescriptions from their doctor’s surgery and bring them to the store ready for collection.
Upon successful completion of an accredited course you will qualify as a Medicine Counter Assistant within 6 months and then train as a Dispensing Assistant to continue your pharmacy training. Each step will bring extra value to our service and advance your career.

You have good computer skills, attention to detail, and communicate well with customers. You enjoy problem solving and are passionate about helping people and providing a great healthcare experience by helping customers find what they need and having a chat along the way.
