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 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 bags of career choice with leadership training plans from industry experts, so there’s every chance to progress. And if you’ve got an idea for how we can improve things, we’ll make sure you’re given the chance to be 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.

Responsibilities

• 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 programme, giving advice to people in the community at risk of or living with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes
• You’ll lead, train, and develop colleagues
• You’ll use a planning system to ensure pharmacy staff are available, so we’re always there to meet our customers’ needs

Qualifications

• 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 be willing to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme – we’ll help you with this when we offer you the role
• You’ll complete a DBS check (organised by us) before employment

Pharmacists working for Tesco will have to complete a DBS check (organised by Tesco) prior to commencement of employment.

Our Pharmacy Managers are supported by wider store teams, such as security, stock replenishment, range management, and administration to ensure a smooth and consistent experience for our customers and patients, whilst maintaining theirs and our colleague’s safety.

Tesco Pharmacies offers colleagues a high level of working flexibility and control over their work rotas. This enables routine overlap periods with other pharmacists on duty, so ideas about patient care and colleague development can be worked on together.

We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at Tesco, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life‑changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

Everyone’s welcome

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