The opportunity

Imagine...

COVID-19 memories are now starting to fade away. We thought we would never get rid of it but, eventually, everyone came together, and defeated the virus for good. You can’t believe that it is during such a tough period that you came across this opportunity with VSM Pharmacy.

The company, a small independent nested in Camberley, Surrey, did not look like much. The new owners had only taken over at the very start of the pandemic. But you could feel that something was different about that company. Maybe it was the ever-smiling team. Maybe it was the website, or the digital-first approach, or the constant desire to improve… Maybe it was simply the fact that you wanted to keep honing your skills in a supportive environment. Whatever it was, you can’t believe how long you have been with VSM now. Nicky’s laugh interrupts your thoughts, probably another of Julie’s jokes. It is a bright summer day and applying to this role in the Omicron winter was the best decision you ever made. How funny! Life always finds a way.
