Job description

Company Description

PharmaChoice Food and Drug is located in Chase, British Columbia. It sits on beautiful Shuswap Lake and is home to many beaches, boat launches, and a large pier that provides access to both the lake and the South Thompson River. Although many of our staff live in Chase, the pharmacy is a short commute from Kamloops, Salmon Arm, and Scotch Creek. We are independently owned and operated and have been proudly serving the residents of Chase and area for over 3 decades.

Our goal is to provide our patients with all their pharmacy needs including compliance packaging, home health care, medical supplies, vaccinations, and medication reviews. We also offer custom compounding (both sterile and non-sterile) from our nearby sister locations.

Our company culture is one that promotes a positive work environment and work-life balance. Chase location is open 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday and closed all Sundays and holidays, and the Scotch Creek location is open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and closed all weekends and holidays. Enjoy your evenings and weekends swimming or boating on the lake, camping at one of the many provincial parks in the area, or spending time during the winter months at one of the nearby downhill or cross-country ski areas.

We have daily pharmacist overlap from Monday to Friday and we DO NOT impose any quotas for clinical services upon our pharmacists.

We offer a comprehensive wage ($60+/hr.) and benefits package including life and disability insurance, relocation allowance, retention bonus, and coverage of your pharmacy dues.

We have an excellent employee discount program that ranges on everything from groceries to giftware. Our stores are independently owned and operated. This means you can collaborate with the owner and management team to quickly make decisions and resolve any issues or concerns.

Job Description

At PharmaChoice Food & Drug we are innovative problem solvers that focus on finding a suitable solution for every one of our patients. We offer a collaborative team environment which allows our pharmacists to easily communicate with practitioners to provide our patients with the best possible outcomes. We promote an inclusive environment for our staff and patients alike.

We are searching for a staff pharmacist to work full time between our Chase and Scotch Creek locations (Scotch Creek is also located on Shuswap Lake).

As the Staff Pharmacist you will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the pharmacy including:

• Supervision of support staff, including providing guidance and direction daily.
• Minor ailment prescribing, vaccine administration, and other clinical services when appropriate.
• Working with the management team to identify strategies in maintaining the current business operations and identifying opportunities for growth.

• Managing adequate inventory levels.
• Compliance with all bylaws of the College of Pharmacists of B.C.

The successful candidate will have:

• A license to be a practicing pharmacist in the province of British Columbia.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.
• Problem solving and conflict resolution skills.
• Exceptional customer service skills.
• Good organizational skills and the ability to multitask.

Overall compensation package is negotiable.
