THE ROLE OF PHARMACY MANAGER
As a Pharmacy Manager you will work closely with local healthcare professionals to develop new and existing services in line with the needs of the local community.

A community pharmacy branch can dispense between 1000 to 3000 items per week, typically trading 6 days per week. Our community branches are typically located in either rural/village locations, small town high streets and shopping centeres, suburban shopping parades, within or adjacent to a health center and occasionally in supermarket interiors.

Leading a dedicated healthcare team, you will focus on providing all round healthcare solutions by building relationships with customers to ensure the branch business plan is delivered.

A Pharmacy Manager is responsible for the day to day running of the branch and benefits from a local, regional and central structure which provides access to other pharmacists for both support and advice. You will also be supported by an Area Development Manager who will help to drive forward excellence in the business. Our Pharmacists normally work as the only qualified pharmacist on the premises, except in our high volume branches where second pharmacist support is sometimes provided.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a motivated individual who thrives on providing outstanding patient care, with a real passion for healthcare and the ability to develop and grow the pharmacy business.

You will be keen to develop others as well as maintaining your own professional development.

Registered as a practising pharmacist with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) or the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland (PSNI) you will be considered the local expert and someone who can develop strong partnerships with local General Practitioner surgeries.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM US?
You will have a comprehensive branch based induction in one of our centres of excellence complete with a supporting guide book. This is followed by a two day Pharmacy Manager induction workshop. We actively support CPD for employee pharmacists through a customised CPD portfolio. In addition to internal management courses and study days, we fund the personal time required to reach the recommended 30 hours.

We offer you the opportunity to pursue a career path of your choice, whether that's as a Pharmacy Branch Manager, an Area Support Manager, an Area Development Manager, a member of our field based regional team or simply to continue your professional and clinical development. We can offer you a variety of hours both full and part-time and the flexibility that joining a large organisation gives you.
