Working within the healthcare department of the store, you will spend your time building great relationships with patients by listening and understanding their needs.

• Keeping up to date with new innovations in store and comply with operational processes.
• Support patients to manage their prescriptions their way with reliable repeats and manage their medicines effectively to promote adherence and reduce waste.

Working with evolving technologies within store, you will have the opportunity to work with new systems, which helps to develop the traditional dispensing processes to further improve patient safety and release your time to spend more time with patients.

You will be provided with regular updates and training to develop your healthcare knowledge, as well as plenty of career development options including the opportunity to train as a Pharmacy Technician or as part of the store leadership team.
