Pharmacy Dispenser Apprenticeship - Citywide Health (Bishopthorpe Road Pharmacy)
Your 18-month apprenticeship will involve working alongside our qualified dispensing team and learning how to become a Pharmacy Dispenser. The apprenticeship provides a specialised certificate, which is a requirement to work in pharmacy.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working, with hands-on experience and on-the-job learning. Apprenticeships also include time away from working for specialist training to gain professional knowledge and skills. All training is on-site, and you do not need to attend off-site college days.
An e-learning portfolio plus on-site tutors will help you progress to a Level 2 Pharmacy Dispenser qualification. Functional skills will be provided if required.
Requirements
- Ability to respect and maintain confidentiality of information concerning customers, colleagues, company policies and statistics in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from 25th May 2018.
- Willingness to keep up to date with current pharmacy practice, new drugs and their uses.
- Commitment to completing coursework in a timely manner.
- Ability to work safely within the parameters of your role using Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Ability to apply policies which relate to health and safety at work.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
