A leading Lancaster independent pharmacy now has a great opportunity for an experienced Pharmacist to join them as their Pharmacist Manager.

The pharmacy is both well-established in the area and set in a highly convenient location – only a stone’s throw from local amenities, primary care services, and public transport links – and therefore is the pharmacy of choice for a wide and varied patient base, dispensing around 9,000 - 10,000 items per month.

As Pharmacist Manager, you would be leading the delivery of expert pharmacy care in-store, heading up daily operations and supporting a strong, long-standing team to best provide an excellent patient experience.

With skilled dispensing staff in place, your role will be able to be more patient-facing and focused on services rather than on prescriptions, getting to know and engage with local people directly; the pharmacy currently offers visitors Pharmacy First, travel clinic, emergency contraception and other NHS and private services, and the team is keen to begin offering flu and Covid vaccinations shortly.

In doing so, you will be best placed to implement development initiatives that continuously improve service scope, quality, and ability to anticipate evolving community health needs – and open doors to new CPD opportunities for you and your team meanwhile.

This is a permanent, full-time (42.5h) Pharmacist Manager position, Mon-Fri only.

• (Essential) MPharm degree, OSPAP qualification or equivalent
