About the role:
What if your next role helped shape your future career while making a difference in your community?

As a Pharmacy Student, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience within a community pharmacy while studying towards your Master's degree in Pharmacy (MPharm). Working alongside experienced Pharmacists and pharmacy colleagues, you'll develop your knowledge of pharmacy practice, learn how to deliver safe and effective patient care and build the skills needed for a successful future career in the profession.

No two days are the same, one day you might be supporting the dispensing process, processing prescriptions and assisting customers with their queries. The next, you could be learning about medication management, helping maintain stock levels, supporting pharmacy services or observing patient interactions to broaden your understanding of community pharmacy practice.

This is an opportunity to learn in a supportive and professional environment where you'll develop practical experience alongside your academic studies. You'll gain exposure to a wide range of pharmacy activities while helping to ensure patients receive a safe, efficient and welcoming service every day.

Here's how you'll make a difference

Supporting the pharmacy team with dispensing activities and prescription processing, helping to maintain accuracy and patient safety.

Engaging with customers and patients, helping with enquiries and ensuring they receive the support they need.

Assisting with stock management, medication storage and pharmacy operations to support the smooth running of the branch.

Developing your understanding of patient care, medicines and professional pharmacy practice through hands-on learning and experience.

Building your knowledge through ongoing learning opportunities while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality and compliance.

If you're looking to apply your academic learning in a real-world setting, gain valuable pharmacy experience and take the next step towards a rewarding career in healthcare, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
