The importance of your role.

Be part of our ambition to be the world’s leading Pharmacy-led retailer. Our patients are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to offer legendary care every day; it’s what sets us apart from other UK Pharmacy chains.

This is a great opportunity to develop your Pharmacy career and make a difference to the lives of our patients.

How will you do it?

With a technical yet personable approach, you’ll inspire the pharmacy team around you, ensuring our standards reflect our care for patients. Legally and ethically, we aim to provide the very best service.

Accuracy and care are central to this role. You will oversee the safe and effective operation of the pharmacy and healthcare business, leading the day-to-day dispensary activities. You’ll be an expert in the technical aspects of medicine supply while delivering excellent patient care.

Guiding and supporting your pharmacy team and working closely with the Pharmacist and Store Leader, you’ll play a key role in growing our business.

What you’ll be doing day to day.

You will help deliver the safe and effective running of the pharmacy and healthcare business, and lead the day-to-day running of the dispensary.

Your duties will include:

• Responsibility for legal, safe & ethical decision-making in the pharmacy.
• Delivering on-target delivery of items and services income.
• Complying with legal and professional requirements and accepted guidance on professional practice in Boots.
• Tailoring conversations with every customer to ensure they leave your pharmacy feeling informed and confident about their healthcare needs, coaching other pharmacy team members to do the same.
• Seeking opportunities to engage external stakeholders to secure locally commissioned services and drive services and items.
• Delivering efficient dispensary operations and minimizing dispensing losses.
• Ordering medicines, labelling, dispensing, endorsing, and checking prescriptions.

What you’ll need to have.

We’re offering an exciting career opportunity to continue your professional and pharmacy journey. You will need an NVQ Level 3 in Pharmacy Services (or equivalent), and be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

It’s also important to have a genuine passion for customer care, support and lead the dispensary team, and support pharmacy strategy in partnership with the team.

To work within our dispensaries, you should have completed a Medicines Counter Assistant (NVQ2) qualification or equivalent. You may wish to become an Accuracy Checking Technician (ACT); we can provide the training and support needed to achieve this. As you develop your healthcare knowledge through these qualifications and roles, this will be reflected in your pay and benefits.

This is just one of several career paths within Boots!
