Job description

I’m currently recruiting for an Accuracy Checking Technician (ACT) to join a growing pharmacy operation in Gloucester.

This is a full-time, non-patient-facing role within a busy dispensary environment, supporting the safe and accurate supply of medicines to NHS services.

Location: Gloucester

Contract: Full time

Interview: Practical/trial day included

The role will involve carrying out final accuracy checks on dispensed medicines, making sure prescriptions, labels and medication are correct and helping to keep the dispensary running efficiently.

You’ll be working closely with pharmacists and other pharmacy team members, so good communication and the ability to work as part of a team are important.

What we’re looking for:

• Level 3 NVQ in Pharmacy Services or equivalent
• Previous experience working in a dispensary
• Strong attention to detail
• A good understanding of patient safety and accuracy
• Ability to work in a busy environment and manage your workload

Experience with pharmacy IT systems and stock management would be useful, but the key requirement is solid dispensary experience and a genuine focus on accuracy.

This could be a good opportunity for an ACT looking to move into a non-patient-facing pharmacy environment while continuing to develop their career within a growing organisation.
