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, which brings a wide variety of shift patterns. If you are looking for flexible working to fit around your lifestyle, then look no further. We'll work with you on your shifts, but weekend working is a requirement of the role, and you may need to be flexible with your work pattern.
Your in-store Pharmacies are hugely popular with customers, and they will expect the same warmth and friendliness they get everywhere else in the store – as well as being confident and relaxed about discussing personal health issues, quickly resolving customer problems and taking customers to the right products.
You will also be responsible for spending time accurately assembling and processing prescriptions. It will be your responsibility to drive awareness of all the extra services we offer in Pharmacy (e.g. Prescription Collection Service, Medicines Use Reviews, etc.). You will support the Pharmacist with the delivery and effective record keeping of patient services (blood pressure checks, stop smoking schemes, etc.). You will develop an understanding of the strict Standard Operating Procedures and work to them as our customers will expect nothing less.
In addition, you will collect the customer's prescription from their doctor's surgery on their behalf and bring it to the store ready for collection. We will help you to become a star Pharmacy colleague – you will complete an accredited course to become a qualified Medicine Counter Assistant within 6 months and then move on to train as a Dispensing Assistant, completing your pharmacy training. Each step of the way you will be bringing something extra to our service and moving your career forward.
About You
You are naturally friendly, highly organised, and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You have good computer skills, attention to detail, and you communicate well with customers. You love problem solving and are passionate about helping people and care about giving customers a great healthcare experience, helping them find what they need, and having a chat along the way.
