About the role:

Our community pharmacies sit at the heart of the neighbourhoods we serve, supporting the health and wellbeing of our customers every day. As the largest Co-operative Pharmacy group, we’re proud to offer so much more than excellent customer service. From prescriptions and flu vaccinations to podiatry and a range of health checks, we’re passionate about delivering services that truly make a difference.

We’re excited to offer Pharmacy Students the chance to join our teams of enthusiastic, dedicated colleagues who work together to create positive experiences for every patient. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work in one of our pharmacies, with flexible hours that fit around your studies and lifestyle.

Your placement with us will give you hands-on experience that supports your journey toward becoming a Pharmacist. You’ll gain a genuine understanding of community pharmacy life—learning, growing and contributing to the care of your local community. With expert guidance and training, you’ll have the chance to talk to customers, offer support and experience the wide variety of services we provide.

About You

We’re looking for Pharmacy Students who bring energy, curiosity, and a genuine passion for helping others. To join us, you’ll need to be working toward a Master’s degree in Pharmacy (MPharm). We’d love to see:

  • A natural ability to build meaningful connections with patients and colleagues

  • A friendly, caring, and confident approach when supporting and advising customers

  • Enthusiasm for solving problems and embracing new experiences

  • A methodical, accurate, and proactive way of working, using both your initiative and teamwork skills

  • Experience in retail or with stock control systems (helpful but not essential—we’ll give you all the training you need)

These placements are a fantastic opportunity to build your confidence, expand your skills, and explore the exciting possibilities a career in community pharmacy can offer.

 

Benefits

This is a great 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)
  • Free tea and coffee provisions for all colleagues during rest breaks at work
  • Wellbeing initiatives and community engagement opportunities  

We are an “Investors in People - Platinum” employer, meaning that we have been recognised as one of the country’s top employers, offering progression opportunities to all our colleagues. As your experience grows, you’ll have the opportunity to build the skills necessary to further progress your career and help to open up future opportunities. We’ll work together with you to shape your career for the better!
