Job description

Dispensary Technician / Intern Pharmacist - Full Time

ESPH Pharmacy | East Sydney Private Hospital | Woolloomooloo, Sydney

ESPH Pharmacy is seeking a motivated and highly organised Dispensary Technician or Intern Pharmacist to join our team in a full-time position.

Located onsite at East Sydney Private Hospital in Woolloomooloo, ESPH Pharmacy provides pharmacy services across the hospital, supporting surgical patients, specialists, nursing staff and hospital departments throughout the patient journey.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced dispensary technician looking to develop their career in a hospital pharmacy environment, or an intern pharmacist seeking broad practical experience and exposure to both dispensing and hospital pharmacy services.

About the Role

Working closely with our pharmacists and hospital clinical teams, you will be involved in the day-to-day operation of a busy and growing private hospital pharmacy.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Dispensing and processing prescriptions under pharmacist supervision
• Preparing medications for day surgery and overnight hospital patients
• Assisting with pre-operative and post-operative medication requirements
• Supporting patient discharge medication services
• Processing medication orders and maintaining accurate patient records
• Managing dispensary stock, ordering, receiving and stock rotation
• Assisting with hospital ward and imprest stock
• Liaising with pharmacists, nurses, hospital staff and other healthcare professionals
• Maintaining a highly organised, accurate and efficient dispensary
• Supporting the pharmacy team with general operational and administrative duties
• Providing professional and friendly service to patients

For an intern pharmacist, the position will provide additional opportunities to develop clinical, dispensing and professional practice skills under the supervision of experienced pharmacists.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Confident working in a fast-paced healthcare environment
• Reliable and able to take ownership of their responsibilities
• An effective communicator and team member
• Comfortable communicating with patients and healthcare professionals
• Committed to maintaining high standards of accuracy and patient care
• Keen to learn and develop within a hospital pharmacy environment

Previous dispensary experience is highly regarded, although applicants with the right attitude, organisational skills and willingness to learn are encouraged to apply.

Intern pharmacists are strongly encouraged to apply.

Why Join ESPH Pharmacy?

ESPH Pharmacy is a newly established on-site pharmacy providing an integrated pharmacy service to East Sydney Private Hospital.

Unlike a traditional community pharmacy role, this position provides exposure to the broader medication journey of surgical patients - from preparation for admission and surgery through to post-operative treatment and discharge.

You will work closely with pharmacists, nurses, specialists and hospital staff and have the opportunity to develop valuable experience in private hospital pharmacy operations.

As the pharmacy continues to grow, there will also be opportunities to take on greater responsibility and develop your role within the business.
