Why This Role Is Different

Forget everything you think you know about community pharmacy. We've built something genuinely new.

325m purpose‑built premises, opened June 2023, were designed around a simple question: What if pharmacists could focus on clinical care instead of being chained to the dispensary?

Four consultation rooms. Modern automation. Experienced ACTs and technicians. A clinical pharmacist mentor who values learning.

This is where your clinical ambitions meet real‑world opportunity.

What This Role Really Means

Imagine starting your day reviewing your clinic schedule, not counting prescription labels. Picture having four dedicated consultation rooms where you can actually practice pharmacy. Envision a dispensary team skilled enough that you oversee processes rather than drowning in them.

This isn't "maybe someday" pharmacy. This is happening now.

We've made the investment in premises, technology, and people. Now we need a pharmacist who's ready to make the most of it whether you're an established independent prescriber or a newly qualified pharmacist hungry to develop clinical skills.

Ready to Practice Pharmacy Differently?

If you're tired of what community pharmacy has been and excited about what it could be, we want to hear from you.
