Pharmacist - Wairarapa

About the role:

This lovely, close-knit team are looking for another Pharmacist so they don’t need access to locums when someone wants leave, is sick or attends training.

Ideally, they are seeking a full-time person but they would also consider flexibility and part-time hours for the right person.

As part of a close-knit team including the owner/operator, you will need to be flexible to turn your hand to a little bit of everything.  Currently, the split of work includes 65% dispensary (they have robotics to support this work) and 35% additional services and consults.  They operate two pharmacies in this community so it means you will have variety.

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.

What’s in it for you:

• Personal, community-based Pharmacy environment

• This pharmacy operates 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

• 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.
