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.

Apart from these healthy breaks, you’ll also have numerous career development opportunities, including leadership training plans from industry experts, giving you every chance to progress. If you have ideas for improvements, we’ll ensure you’re given the chance to be heard.

All these elements contribute to a role where you can do good, feel good, and develop your career. Let’s make every day a little better.

Responsibilities include:

1. You’ll supply prescriptions, deliver NHS and private services, and provide healthcare advice to customers.
2. You’ll support our charity programs by advising community members at risk of or living with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
3. You’ll assist the Pharmacy Manager in leading, training, and developing colleagues.
4. You’ll help build relationships with Primary Care Networks and GPs’ surgeries.
5. You’ll ensure accurate payment claims for NHS-covered items.

Qualifications and requirements:

• 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 you join.
• You’ll complete a DBS check (organized by us) prior to employment.

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

Tesco Pharmacies offers flexible working arrangements, allowing colleagues to control their work rotas. This facilitates overlapping shifts with other pharmacists, promoting collaboration on patient care and colleague development.
