We are seeking two Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technicians to join us.
Pharmacy technicians are a vital part of the pharmacy team. They work under the supervision of the pharmacist to ensure the safe running of the pharmacy and make sure patients get the most from their medicines. The role will enable successful candidates to undertake the necessary training and development to register as a Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council.
Our Pre-registration Pharmacy Technician Apprentices undertake a 2-year distance learning training programme with the University of East Anglia with lots of support from our dedicated and experienced training team. You will attend a virtual training to study for the coursework for your Certificate of Higher Education in Pharmacy Technician Practice.
To be eligible to apply for the Pre-registration Pharmacy Technician, you will need 4 GCSE's at grade C/4 or above including Maths, English and science (or a combined science award with one qualification at C/4 or above plus another GCSE). Maths and English Functional skills levels 2 can also be accepted. Pharmacy experience is not essential but would be desirable but a NVQ2 in pharmacy is not an alternative to the academic requirements above. Proof of the above qualifications will be requested at interview.

Excellent communication skills are a must and most importantly a professional attitude and patient centred approach.
