The importance of your role.

Exceptional patient-centred care is at the heart of everything we do. As a Pharmacy Dispenser, you’ll be part of helping patients feel good, from providing clear advice and care to offering a wide range of dispensing services.

To provide excellent patient care, you will work across the healthcare counter and the dispensary, focusing on patients' needs. This role offers a great opportunity to develop your pharmacy career and make a difference in patients' lives.

What you’ll be doing day to day.

Providing health advice through focused conversations with patients, ensuring clear and accurate answers.

Your duties will include:

1. Tailoring conversations to ensure customers leave feeling informed and confident about their healthcare needs.
2. Handling the technical aspects of the dispensary, including ordering medicines, labelling, dispensing, endorsing, and collecting prescriptions.
3. Complying with legal and professional requirements and guidance in Boots.
4. Engaging with GPs and practice teams to promote services and products.
5. Ensuring efficient dispensary operations and minimising dispensing losses.

What you’ll need to have.

We offer an exciting career opportunity. You will need either an NVQ Level 2 in Pharmacy Services or be working towards it, having completed the first year of an MPharm course at university.

You should also have completed a Medicines Counter Assistant (NVQ2) qualification or equivalent. If not, we will support your development to complete our training within 6 months of joining.

If you wish to further develop your career, we support achieving NVQ Level 3 (QCF) in Pharmacy Services to become eligible for registration with GPHC as a Pharmacy Technician, potentially leading to an Accuracy Checking Pharmacy Technician (ACPT) role. Your pay and benefits will reflect your qualifications and roles as you progress.
