Part-time, permanent position; working approximately 8 hours a week 09:00-18:00, Wednesdays at our Warwick Gates branch.

The Role
The medicines counter assistant (MCA) is a key member of the pharmacy team.

You are the first person many customers will see when coming into the pharmacy, speak to when seeking healthcare advice and interact with when collecting/ordering a prescription or asking for help when they wish to purchase a medicine.

As an MCA you will provide advice to patients on a wide range of ailments and appropriately sell over-the-counter medicines to patients and handle prescriptions within the pharmacy.

As part of the pharmacy team you work under the supervision of a responsible pharmacist who is always available should you need to refer a patient or seek advice.

We are looking for applicants who have good general retail skills, who are friendly and enjoy providing consistent and excellent customer service.

If not already completed, you will be enrolled on the National Pharmacy Association course, which we expect you to complete in the first 6 months of your employment.

Any advice and support is supplemented through your day-to-day work with your fellow pharmacists and colleagues.

Requirements:

Pharmacy MCA (
but not essential as we will provide training)
Friendly and customer focused
Able to work proficiently within a team and individually
Excellent communication skills
Good literacy and numeracy skills
Selfmotivated and able to prioritise workload
Conduct and carry out multiple tasks in an efficient and effective manner
Flexibility to work in different branches
Computer skills (necessary for stock maintenance)
Willingness to comply with Pharmacy regulation training and upskill

At Birk and Nagra we pride ourselves on serving and working with the public, creating a personalised customer service to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients.

We have been doing this at a high standard since 1979, and if you are both interested and determined to provide a safe and quality service to patients to make a difference, then contact us now for more information or to apply.
