About ZAVA

We believe healthcare should be accessible, dependable and affordable for everyone. Now part of Hims & Hers Health, Inc., one of the fastest-growing digital health companies in the world, we’re entering an exciting new chapter as we expand our reach and accelerate our impact.

Our team of Doctors, Engineers, Patient Care Advisors, Pharmacists, Marketers, Product Managers, UX Designers, Commercial, and Operations Specialists work together to build digital healthcare that truly fits around our patients’ lives.

The pandemic changed how people access care, and we’ve led the way by providing over 14 million consultations across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Ireland. More patients than ever turn to us for help with weight loss and other conditions that can be safely treated online. We’re evolving our service to make care even more personal, supportive and effective.

We’re doing more than providing healthcare. We’re empowering people to take control of their health, and with the support of Hims & Hers, we’re scaling our vision to become a global leader in digital healthcare.

About the role

We're looking for a GPhC-registered Junior Pharmacist who is tech-savvy, eager to learn, and interested in how the healthcare industry is evolving in the digital world. This is a great opportunity to work in a non-patient-facing digital pharmacy setting. We see this as a chance to develop professionally in areas beyond direct, face-to-face consultation.

Our pharmacy is based at our site in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, from which we dispatch medications to patients across the UK. This position is ideal for a forward-thinking candidate keen to grow their experience within a scale-up environment.

What can you expect from working with us?

• Support improvements in service provision
• Weekly protected time for self-directed learning
• Ongoing support for CPD
• Team annual social budget
• Exposure to expertise of clinical and non-clinical team members in a cross-functional setting
• Carrying out audits and being empowered to improve processes as a result

What you'll own

• Working in our remote pharmacy — safely and efficiently label, dispense and check medication against digitally signed prescriptions, in line with current legal, professional and ethical frameworks.
• Acting as Responsible Pharmacist (RP) — understand the accountabilities of an RP and work closely with our small pharmacy team; you will be the primary responsible pharmacist when the pharmacy manager is not on site.
• Performing clinical and final checks — review patient data to carry out in-depth clinical checks, ensuring patients receive appropriate treatment, as well as final checks of dispensed medications.
• Supporting the dispensary — maintain appropriate stock levels and supplies, liaising closely with suppliers to ensure correct volumes arrive promptly, safely and intact.
• Improving our services — help enhance and innovate our processes through reviews and audits, with the opportunity to lead or contribute to projects.
• Working cross-functionally — collaborate with other teams, including Patient Care and Clinical, to support our online doctor service.
• Upholding standards — adhere to ethical, professional and legal pharmacy standards at all times.
• Handling the technical side of the dispensary — including ordering, labelling, dispensing and packaging of medications and test kits, with close attention to detail on high-volume, repetitive tasks at scale.
• Assisting with bulk stock deliveries — occasionally helping bring stock and sundries into the office, including lifting trays of ice packs (approx. 20kg) into freezers. You must be physically able to lift this safely; manual handling training is provided.

What we're looking for

• Qualified pharmacist, fully registered with the GPhC
• We welcome applications from newly qualified pharmacists
• Competent with basic IT programmes, such as the Google Drive suite.
• Good understanding of UK pharmacy requirements and regulations.
• Able to clinically check prescriptions and perform final checks on dispensed items, accurately and efficiently.
• Eager to learn and develop a career in digital health.
