About the opportunity

As a Dispenser working within one of our stores, you will be key member of our pharmacy team as you support the pharmacist and other healthcare professionals in your store to ensure the safe and efficient delivery of pharmacy and healthcare services.

Working within the healthcare department of the store, you will spend your time building great relationships with patients by listening and understanding their needs. From greeting customers, dispensing prescriptions and ensuring the safe sale of medicines, to providing advice using your healthcare knowledge to support patients in making informed decisions about their health and wellness – you’ll get to make a difference every day.

This is a role based in store within the UK. Remote applicants will not be considered and applications from candidates outside the UK will not be progressed unless relevant UK qualifications and right to work can be confirmed and evidenced.

Key responsibilities:


  • Prescription dispensing whilst ensuring the safe supply of medicines e.g. ordering medicines, labelling, dispensing, endorsing and collection of prescriptions.
  • Work with the other healthcare professionals in your store to assist in the management and delivery of pharmacy services
  • Provide care and advice to patients about medicines and to refer queries to the Pharmacist as appropriate.
  • Following Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to support the safe and legal dispensing of prescriptions
  • Keeping up to date with new innovations in store and comply with operational processes.
  • Support patients to manage their prescriptions their way with reliable repeats and manage their medicines effectively to promote adherence and reduce waste.
Working with evolving technologies within store, you will have the opportunity to work with new systems, which helps to develop the traditional dispensing processes to further improve patient safety and release your time to spend more time with patients.

You will be provided with regular updates and training to develop your healthcare knowledge, as well as plenty of career development options including the opportunity to train as a Pharmacy Technician or as part of the store leadership team.

What you’ll need to have:
  • Completed the Pharmacy Advisor qualification NVQ2 (or equivalent) or are currently working towards and have completed the first year of an MPharm qualification.
  • Current and valid UK right to work. This role is not eligible for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker Visa.
It would be great if you also have
  • Experience working in community pharmacy
Our benefits
  • Discretionary Christmas Gift Payment
  • Generous staff discount
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity/adoption leave pay and gift card for anyone expecting or adopting a child
  • Flexible benefits scheme
  • Access to free, 24/7 counselling and support through TELUS Health, our Employee Assistance Programme.
