Dispenser

You'll report directly to our Shift Lead.

You'll work most closely with Bolt Pharmacy's pharmacists, qualified and trainee dispensers, Stock Control and Customer Service, combining dispensing oversight, shared workloads and patient support.

Key responsibilities

• Get every prescription right: Select, label and prepare medicines accurately within your qualified scope, following SOPs and escalating clinical queries to pharmacists.
• Keep treatment moving: Process and securely pack 30+ orders per hour while maintaining accuracy, safety and compliance.
• Protect every medicine: Maintain cold-chain controls, monitor fridge and room temperatures, and escalate storage deviations immediately.
• Take ownership of stock: Check incoming deliveries, maintain correct storage and rotation, and support stock takes so medicines are available when needed.
• Make quality everyone's business: Record errors, near misses and incidents promptly, keep workstations clean and compliant, follow hygiene and PPE procedures, and suggest practical improvements.
• Raise the team's standard: Guide trainee dispensers, support colleagues and work with Customer Service to resolve patient queries and order updates.

Need to have

• Dispensing qualification: You hold a valid Buttercups certification or equivalent dispensing qualification.
• Experience at pace: You've worked in high-volume dispensing and can consistently meet a target of 30+ orders per hour without compromising safety.
• Attention to detail: You bring exceptional accuracy to medicine selection, labelling and prescription preparation.
• Ownership within your scope: You organise your workload independently, follow SOPs precisely and know when to involve a pharmacist.
• Professionalism: You're reliable, punctual and committed to patient safety and regulatory compliance.

Nice to have

• Qualified experience: You've spent at least a year working as a qualified dispenser.
• Online pharmacy: You understand the demands of dispensing and dispatching treatment to patients remotely.
• Mentoring: You've trained or supported junior colleagues and can explain procedures clearly.
• Stock management: You bring experience in inventory control, stock rotation and keeping a busy dispensary supplied.
• Patient support: You've handled healthcare queries with care, clarity and professionalism.
• Pharmacy standards: You're familiar with GPhC requirements and how they translate into everyday practice.

Our cultural standards

We aim to make this your life's work. This should be the most challenging, most rewarding role of your life. Accordingly, these are the core cultural standards to which we hold ourselves & our team-members:

• Belief in the mission: We will have served 100 million patients by the end of 2035 and we transform the life of most patients who join. We have a lot of work to do. We are obsessed with our patients and are dedicated to the mission.
• Unwavering integrity: We are at the frontier, so we often live in ambiguity with no trodden path. When we can't look to others for guidance, we must maintain impeccable ethics and unwavering integrity.
• Only the paranoid survive: Bad sh*t is coming. By joining us, you're choosing to sail straight towards the storms with unhesitating conviction. However much we've already done, however far we've already come — it's still Day 1 and all our work is ahead of us.
• If we're average we fail: We are only interested in "insanely great", a focus on the quality of our execution that in everyday life would be considered pathological. We have a dedication to excellence and reject incompetence.
• Commitment to candor: That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. You get full transparency from the company and the company expects full transparency from you. We never say anything about someone that we wouldn't say to them directly. We give feedback with love and do not need to protect people from fleeting physical sensations.
• A maniacal sense of urgency: We execute at an intensity that most people think is impossible. Speed is critical and we need things done yesterday. We all work very hard and in such a competitive world there really is no other way to win.
• Enduring frugality: We are frugal. We hate being wasteful and we are anti-luxury. A culture of cheapness keeps us young. We spend our cash wisely & carefully — in a way that would make our grandmas proud.
• Bulldozing barriers: The world is malleable and we shape it. We truly believe this and act accordingly. We are relentlessly resourceful and are at the mercy of no-one but ourselves. You'll be shocked how capable you are and how much you can achieve.
• Keep your head down: We're boring people doing exciting work. We don't chase short-term status — we ignore short-term dopamine hits and focus on what matters. Outsiders will underestimate us and we revel in that.
• The power of focus: We live in a world of power laws and we cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything. Know your One Thing, and nail it.
• 🎯 "You just build a f**ing amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the customer. Give the customer massively more value than you take."
