You will work closely with our management team, pharmacists, head office and business development representatives to keep our store well stocked, promotional activity accurate and on time, and day-to-day retail operations running smoothly.

The opportunity

The successful applicant will play a leading role in:

• Ordering and buying stock across pharmacy, health, beauty, front-of-shop and promotional ranges
• Monitoring stock levels, identifying gaps and maintaining appropriate stock availability
• Liaising with Cincotta head office, suppliers, representatives and our Business Development Manager
• Coordinating catalogue activity, promotional offers, display changes and point-of-sale material
• Ensuring promotional tickets, shelf labels, pricing and promotional end dates are accurate and completed on time
• Supporting merchandising standards, planograms, stock rotation and presentation throughout the store
• Receiving, checking, pricing and putting away stock deliveries
• Assisting with stocktakes, inventory control, expiry-date checking and minimising stock loss
• Helping identify opportunities to improve product range, promotions, sales and customer experience
• Supporting the wider team with general pharmacy assistant duties as required
• Providing friendly, efficient customer service and helping customers find suitable pharmacy and retail products within your training and scope
• Assisting at the front counter, operating POS systems and directing prescription, medicine and clinical enquiries to the pharmacist where required
• Supporting a clean, safe, organised and well-presented pharmacy environment

About you

You are someone who enjoys being organised, takes pride in getting the details right and can balance behind-the-scenes administration with being present on the shop floor.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in a pharmacy, retail, supermarket, health and beauty, buying, merchandising, stock-control or promotional-coordination role
• Experience with pharmacy buying, catalogue execution, supplier liaison, head-office systems or retail promotions—this would be highly regarded, but is not essential
• Strong attention to detail, particularly with pricing, ticketing, promotional dates, stock ordering and follow-through
• Confidence using computers, retail systems, email and spreadsheets, with the ability to learn our pharmacy systems quickly
• Good communication skills and the ability to build productive relationships with suppliers, representatives, head office and colleagues
• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to assist wherever needed in a busy pharmacy environment
• Strong time-management skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A reliable, positive and team-oriented attitude
• Previous pharmacy assistant experience or a pharmacy assistant qualification would be an advantage, but we are open to training the right person with strong retail and organisational capability

What we offer

• A key role within a busy and growing community pharmacy
• The opportunity to take real ownership of buying, promotions, merchandising and retail operations
• Structured training and support from an experienced management and pharmacy team
• Exposure to pharmacy retail buying, catalogues, supplier relationships and promotional planning
• A supportive, practical and team-focused work environment
• Staff discounts across pharmacy, health and beauty products
• A stable full-time position with the opportunity to grow with the business
