Overview
Tesco UK • Padiham • Apply by 31-Oct-2025
At Tesco, people are at the heart of everything we do, and this couldn’t be truer for our pharmacy team. As a Pharmacy Manager, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on others’ lives—supporting pharmacists, delivering services to customers, and fostering community spirit. Your work will touch the lives of hundreds of people every day.
We want to help you be at your best, whatever life brings. That’s why we’ll offer you uninterrupted "me time" away from the pharmacy to relax, refuel, and recharge. Alongside these breaks, you’ll have leadership training plans from industry experts with opportunities to progress. If you have an idea for how to improve things, you’ll be given the chance to be heard. All of this adds up to a role where you can do good and feel good while developing your career.
Let’s make every day a little better.
