Job Details
We have an exciting opportunity for a Pharmacist to join our non contract store in our Biggleswade Shopping Centre store.
In our non-contract store daily activities include OTC sales, private prescriptions and patient clinics. Without the NHS workload, you will have more opportunities to spend quality time with your patients, giving advice and getting to know your customers!
You will also have the support of a friendly healthcare team and in turn, play a role in their learning and development.
In conjunction with your other tasks, you will have the opportunity to spend time providing face to face consultations for a range of reasons, such as travel clinics, meningitis B and pneumonia.
These are just some of the services we offer and the list keeps growing as we continue to exceed expectations and explore new options. Working in this store is unlike any other, there is a great team atmosphere and the range of development opportunities will surprise you!
You would also work 1 day each fortnight in a contracted store.

Company
Boots is the UK’s leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer. With over 2,500* stores in the UK, ranging from local community pharmacies to large destination health and beauty stores, our purpose is to help our customers look and feel better than they ever thought possible.
From our local pharmacies to our largest flagship stores, from care homes through to hospital services, we aim to give a great pharmacy experience.
Working with the NHS
As a community pharmacy, we are a key partner to the NHS. We work closely to agree new ways for pharmacists to provide community healthcare, and design new services which meet the specific needs of the communities in which we work.
Many of our pharmacy teams work with primary care organisations, meeting local healthcare needs, and with our national voice we are helping to shape Government thinking about our nation's health.
Expanding the role of pharmacy
We are committed to extending the role of pharmacy professionals as a primary health provider, in line with Government priorities. Our team of pharmacists and pharmacy support colleagues are passionate about providing expert advice and healthcare services and we pride ourselves in having great teams to deliver all our customers' healthcare needs. These professionals are at the very heart of our business. Examples of these pharmacy services are our Travel Vaccination Service, Winter Flu Vaccination Service, Smokeless Service and Diabetes Risk Assessment Service.
