Currently, the split of work includes 65% dispensary (they have robotics to support this work) and 35% additional services and consults.

Collaboration between the retail and dispensary team is important and this team work very well together already.
About you:
Versatility and the ability to multi-task is important – your ability to step in and help where possible is really important. There are a team of Technicians and an intern to support so you will need to be a team player.
While the owner of this business would consider supporting a newly qualified Pharmacist, there are obvious benefits from working with an experienced person. We are happy to speak with applicants at all levels – if you are right for the team, everything is possible.
Our client will also consider someone who wants to work either full-time or part-time – the current team have varying work schedules to suit lifestyle and business demands.
What’s in it for you:
Personal, community-based Pharmacy environment
This pharmacy operates only Monday to Sunday 9am-6pm – NO late nights, or shift work.
Lovely, experienced team
The owner of the business operates two pharmacies in the community so there is scope for change without changing employers
A successful business to be part of
The owner of the business is an accredited employer so if you are on a work visa, a move here is possible so you can consider progress to a residency visa
The owner will support the cost of professional development, registration and insurances
Take action:
If you have been considering a change or are just curious, we would be very happy to kōrero and share a little more detail about the role.
We know it’s a competitive market and that it will seem like a small community where everyone knows everyone. This is a chance to find out more with privacy and confidentiality assured.
