About the role:

Our community pharmacies play a key part in caring for the health and wellbeing of our customers and members. As the largest Co-operative Pharmacy group, our pharmacies offer so much more than just exceptional customer service! From prescriptions and flu vaccines to podiatry and sports therapy, we’re passionate about looking after the health needs of our patients.

An essential link between our pharmacies and patients, our Relief Pharmacy Home Drivers are compassionate and friendly colleagues delivering prescriptions to customers in their own homes. Working closely with our pharmacies and pharmacy warehouse team, your key role will be to ensure that these health care products are delivered to the right patients at the right time with an efficient but secure service. As hardworking and trustworthy brand ambassadors you’ll be interacting with some of the most vulnerable residents of our communities, helping to make a real difference to their lives and put a smile on their faces! Other duties will include:

Completing daily vehicle safety checks, ensuring that they remain clean and safe to carry medicines
Planning and organising patient deliveries and prescription collection from doctors’ surgeries in a confidential manner
Maintaining our patient delivery database and completing associated administration.

About You

Are you a caring and enthusiastic people person who enjoys teamwork and customer interaction? Then we’d love to hear from you! We’re not just looking for previous experience (though that would be a fantastic bonus), we’re interested in you and what you can bring to the role! You’ll need to have full driving licence and show us:

A careful and safe method of handling potentially fragile deliveries
A natural ability to build meaningful relationships with both patients and colleagues to provide exceptional customer care.
An organised and methodical approach to your work in any situation
Flexibility when faced with change. You’ll be eager to take on new challenges and enjoy problem solving

Please note that the successful candidate for this role will be required to complete a DBS check before joining our team.

Benefits:

We’ll provide you with a work vehicle and all equipment and gear necessary for you to complete your duties safely and effectively. Full training will also be given, so this is a fantastic opportunity to develop your Pharmacy career and make a difference to the lives of our communities. In addition to working for a growing co-operative business, we offer our colleagues fantastic benefits, including:

Up to 30 days annual leave (pro-rata, including bank holidays)
Pension scheme (with up to 12% employer contributions)
Generous colleague discount rates across our family of businesses
Annual discretionary colleague bonuses to reward you for your hard work
Free tea and coffee provisions for all colleagues during rest breaks at work
