Pay and Working Hours
Our Pharmacy Dispenser rate of pay starts from £12.87 an hour; this increases to £14.08 for stores inside the M25. Additional payments may also apply depending on location.
It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you.
We require availability during the following windows and will schedule your contracted hours within these times, with 3 weeks’ notice of your shifts. Flexibility is supported. If your availability matches closely but not exactly, we’ll still consider you.
