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.

Someone who's passionate about building a future in pharmacy

This is a role where learning, customer care and professional development come together.

You'll enjoy supporting customers and patients, developing your pharmacy knowledge and gaining valuable hands-on experience in a community pharmacy environment while studying towards your Master's degree in Pharmacy (MPharm). Whether you're assisting with dispensing activities, helping customers with queries or supporting the day-to-day running of the pharmacy, you'll play an important role in delivering safe, effective and compassionate healthcare services.

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic about pursuing a career in pharmacy, enjoys working with people and is committed to making a positive difference within their local community. You'll be keen to learn, eager to develop new skills and motivated to gain practical experience that complements your academic studies.

To be successful in this role, you'll need to be studying towards a Master's degree in Pharmacy (MPharm), have a genuine passion for healthcare and improving the wellbeing of others, and be able to build positive relationships with customers, patients and colleagues. You'll have strong communication skills, excellent attention to detail and a proactive attitude, with a willingness to learn and develop within a busy pharmacy environment.

We're looking for someone who wants to build a successful career in pharmacy while making a meaningful difference every day. You'll take pride in delivering excellent customer service, supporting safe pharmacy operations and helping to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve.
