Job description

At Tesco, people are at the heart of everything we do, and this couldn’t be truer for our pharmacy team.

As a Duty Pharmacy Manager, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on others’ lives. Whether you’re supporting pharmacists, providing top-notch services to customers, or fostering community spirit, your work will touch the lives of hundreds of people every day.

We want to help you be at your best, whatever life brings. That's why we’ll offer you uninterrupted "me time" away from the pharmacy to relax, refuel, and recharge.

Aside from these healthy breaks, you’ll also have plenty of career development opportunities with leadership training plans from industry experts, offering you a chance to progress. If you have ideas for improvements, we’ll ensure you’re given the opportunity to share them.

It all adds up to a role where you can do good, and feel good, while developing your career. Let’s make every day a little better.

• You’ll supply prescriptions, deliver a range of NHS and private services, and provide healthcare advice to customers.
• You’ll play an active role in our charities support program by giving advice to people in the community at risk of or living with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
• You’ll support the Pharmacy Manager in leading, training, and developing colleagues.
• You’ll assist the Pharmacy Manager in building relationships with Primary Care Networks and GPs’ surgeries.
• You’ll ensure accurate payment claims for NHS-covered items.

• You’ll have a Pharmacy Degree.
• You’ll be passionate about leading and empowering a team.
• You’ll be a member of the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and willing to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme – we’ll assist you with this when we offer you the role.
• You’ll complete a DBS check (organized by us) before employment.

Our Duty Pharmacy Managers are supported by wider store teams, including security, stock replenishment, range management, and administration, to ensure a smooth and consistent experience for our customers and patients, while maintaining safety for colleagues and customers.

Tesco Pharmacies offers colleagues flexible working arrangements and control over their work rotas. This enables routine overlap periods with other pharmacists on duty, fostering collaboration on patient care and colleague development.

To us, inclusivity means everyone’s voice is heard and you feel comfortable bringing every part of yourself to work. We celebrate and value everything that makes you, you. We ensure all colleagues have equal access to opportunities. As a large, diverse business, we can find roles that suit your needs.
