About the Role
To be employed in this role, you must pass an enhanced safeguarding check.
Our stores operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a variety of shift patterns. If you're seeking flexible working to fit your lifestyle, this role is perfect for you. While we can accommodate your shift preferences, weekend working is a requirement of this position.

- Being confident and relaxed when discussing personal health issues.
- Quickly resolving customer problems and directing them to the right products.
- Accurately assembling and processing prescriptions.
- Promoting additional pharmacy services such as the Prescription Collection Service and Medicines Use Reviews.
You will support the Pharmacist in:
- Delivering and maintaining effective record-keeping of patient services (blood pressure checks, stop smoking schemes, etc.).
- Collecting prescriptions from the doctor’s surgery on behalf of customers before bringing them to the store for collection.
