This isn't just a job — it's a real career step. Join Pulteney Pharmacy and earn while you learn on a paid apprenticeship that trains you to become a Level 3 Pharmacy Technician — a respected, professionally-registered role that opens many doors in healthcare.
Why this role matters
* You'll be paid while completing on-the-job training.
* You'll gain a nationally recognised Level 3-4 qualification (the standard qualification for Pharmacy Technicians) and, on successful completion, eligibility for GPhC registration.
* This apprenticeship is a strong springboard to further study — many past apprentices go on to higher education (foundation degrees, HNDs or degree-level courses) or progress into specialist or senior pharmacy roles.
What you'll be doing
* Supporting patient consultations with care and clarity
* Assisting with dispensing and processing NHS prescriptions
* Helping at the counter and handling phone enquiries
* Managing stock, date-checking and unpacking deliveries
* Learning our pharmacy software and helping with admin tasks
What we're looking for
* GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths, English and Science (grade C/4 or above)
* Smart, professional presentation and good spoken English
* Reliable, punctual and organised — a team player who's keen to learn
* Retail or pharmacy experience helpful but not essential
* Able to commit to study (≈6 hours/week) — training is mostly online via Teams
What you'll get
* Paid, on-the-job training: earn while you study.
* Level 3-4 Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship delivered by Woodspeen (remote sessions via Teams).
* Mentor support, in-pharmacy coaching and no travel for classes.
* GPhC registration on successful completion and clear pathways to degree-level study or advanced roles.
* Permanent role possible for the right person.
Important info
* Must have the right to work in the UK and be resident in the UK for at least 3 years.
* 24-month fixed-term apprenticeship; withdrawing mid-course can affect funding.
