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, so there’s every chance to progress. And if you’ve got ideas for how we can improve, we’ll ensure you’re heard.

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 NHS and private services, and provide healthcare advice to customers.
• You’ll support our charity programs by giving advice to people at risk of or living with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
• You’ll assist the Pharmacy Manager in leading, training, and developing colleagues.
• You’ll help build 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 PVG Scheme – we’ll assist with this process.
• You’ll complete a DBS check (organized by us) before employment.

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

Tesco Pharmacies offers flexible working arrangements, enabling routine overlaps with other pharmacists to collaborate on patient care and colleague development.

We understand that everyone’s circumstances are different. That’s why we welcome discussions about flexible working options during your application process, whether you’re starting your career, caring for loved ones, nearing retirement, or adapting to parenthood.

Everyone’s welcome

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) at Tesco means that whoever you are and whatever your background, you should feel represented and able to be yourself at work. In short, we’re a place where Everyone’s Welcome.
