Previous pharmacy retail or management experience is highly regarded. A Certificate III in Community Pharmacy or relevant pharmacy experience would be advantageous.
This Could Be the Right Role for You If...
You enjoy walking into work and knowing your contribution matters.
You want to work somewhere that isn't a huge corporate environment where you're just another employee.
You enjoy getting to know customers, remembering their names, helping them find the right products and seeing familiar faces come through the door.
Most importantly, you take ownership. If you see something that needs doing, you do it.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Supportive and friendly working environment
- Opportunity for career progression
- Genuine responsibility and autonomy
