About the opportunity
As a Trainee 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 whilst you complete your Dispenser training (NVQ2), 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.

  • 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:
  •  Desire to learn and complete the Dispenser training programme (NVQ2)
