Looking for something a little different from traditional pharmacy?

At Montu, pharmacy works differently. No retail counter, no walk-in patients and no OTC sales. Instead, you will be part of a busy, growing digital pharmacy focused entirely on getting medication safely and efficiently to our patients.

We are moving into a newly renovated, purpose-built pharmacy at Winnersh Triangle, giving our growing team a modern working environment with free parking on site.

If you are an experienced Accuracy Checking Dispenser who enjoys working at pace, takes pride in getting things right and wants to be part of a pharmacy environment that is continuing to grow and evolve, we would love to hear from you.

What is the role?

As an Accuracy Checking Dispenser at Montu, you will play an important part in making sure every prescription leaving our pharmacy is accurate and ready to reach the patient safely.

You will carry out the final accuracy check on dispensed prescriptions, working alongside our dispensers, pharmacy technicians, ACTs and pharmacists as part of a large and supportive pharmacy team.

This is a busy environment and we operate at significant scale, so you will need to be comfortable working at pace without compromising on accuracy. Attention to detail is incredibly important, as is having the confidence to stop, question something and escalate when it does not look right.

You will be trusted to use your judgement, take ownership of your work and understand the responsibility that comes with being the final check before medication reaches our patients.

Behind every prescription we dispense is a person relying on us to get it right.

What will you be doing?

• Carrying out final accuracy checks on dispensed prescriptions before medication is supplied to patients.
• Checking the right patient, medicine, strength, formulation, quantity and directions.
• Ensuring all labelling is accurate and appropriate.
• Checking that medicines have been assembled in line with prescriptions, SOPs, legal requirements and our internal processes.
• Identifying and escalating discrepancies, near misses and potential dispensing errors.
• Using your professional judgement and knowing when something needs to be referred to the Responsible Pharmacist.
• Supporting the safe checking of controlled drugs, unlicensed medicines and higher-risk medications in line with relevant procedures.
• Completing expiry date, batch number and packaging integrity checks where required.
• Maintaining clear and accurate records of checks completed.
• Working closely with dispensers, pharmacists and the wider pharmacy team to resolve queries quickly and safely.
• Supporting quality improvements and helping us continually improve the way we work.
• Sharing your knowledge and supporting colleagues across the pharmacy.
• Keeping up to date with SOPs, regulatory requirements and best practice.
