Job Details

We are recruiting for a full time Pharmacist to join our Pharmacy team in Hull Beverley High Road.

Our Pharmacy is a very successul store which does between 12,000-14,000 items a month but will have a second pharmacist cover once a week. Our store has a regular ACT as well who normally deals with our DDS hub. Having said that, all our colleagues in store have been working for years and are very established which means the store runs efficiently on a day to day basis. With our main surgery next door as well, we pride ourselves on the special relationships we have developed with the doctor and staff.

Also being a local pharmacy, we understand our customers in the community and we help meet their needs by giving a friendly, efficient, confidential and professional service. I think it is a really good opportunity for a pharmacist as you will get fully supported by the store manager and the team. In terms of clinical knowledge, the pharmacist will have a hands on approach to all services we provide.

Furthermore, this store is the lead for flu this season but will be fully supported by two deputies. You will be working with a team who will play a vital part in your success and that of the area. This ultimately means you will be directly involved in providing support and guidance as required for the upcoming flu season.
