About the Role
To be employed in this role you must pass an enhanced safeguarding check and have previous dispensing experience.
Our stores operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, which brings a wide variety of shift patterns. If you're looking for flexible working to fit around your lifestyle, then look no further! We'll work with you on your shifts, but weekend working is a requirement of the role, and we may need to be flexible with your work pattern.
Our in-store Pharmacies are hugely popular with our customers, and they will expect the same warmth and friendliness they get everywhere else in the store, as well as being confident and relaxed about discussing personal health issues, quickly resolving customer problems, and directing customers to the right products.
You will also be responsible for spending time accurately assembling and processing prescriptions. It will be your responsibility to drive awareness of all the extra services we offer in Pharmacy (e.g., Prescription Collection Service, Medicines Use Reviews, etc.). You will support the Pharmacist with the delivery and effective record keeping of patient services (blood pressure checks, stop smoking schemes, etc.). You will develop an understanding of the strict Standard Operating Procedures and work to them, as our customers will expect nothing less. You will also be collecting the customer's prescription from their doctor's surgery on their behalf and bringing it to the store ready for collection.
We will help you to become a star Pharmacy colleague - you will complete an accredited course to become a qualified Medicine Counter Assistant within 6 months, and you'll then move on to train as a Dispensing Assistant, which will complete your pharmacy training. Each step of the way, you'll be bringing something extra to our service and moving your career forward.
About You
You'll be naturally friendly, highly organised, and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You have good computer skills, attention to detail, and you communicate well with customers. You love problem-solving and you're passionate about helping people and care about giving customers a great healthcare experience, helping them find what they need and having a chat along the way.
Your Benefits
Alongside a competitive salary, you'll get lots of other great benefits too, including 10% off your Asda shopping, incentive schemes, a pension scheme, and discounts across a range of services and activities, from airport parking to theme parks and cinemas.
