In this role, you will:

• Support the pharmacy team with the day-to-day running of the pharmacy.
• Provide a friendly, helpful and professional service to patients and members.
• Support the safe and accurate supply of medicines and pharmacy services under the direction of the pharmacist and wider pharmacy team.

• Work effectively across different pharmacy environments, adapting to the needs of each team.
• Build positive relationships with patients, members and colleagues.
• Maintain high standards of confidentiality, patient safety and professional conduct.
• Support the delivery of a clean, organised and welcoming pharmacy environment.
