Pharmacist - Killingworth

We've got a fantastic opportunity for a Pharmacist to join our Killingworth store, which dispenses over 10,500 valued items on average to the local community each month.

At Morrisons Pharmacy, we take a holistic approach to healthy living. It's natural for us. With our focus on the freshness and goodness of our food, our in-store pharmacies are a logical step to helping customers look after themselves inside and out.

Reporting to the Pharmacy Manager, you will be accountable for the Pharmacy in their absence.

Our Pharmacists are responsible for the following;

• Delivering the pharmacy strategy through providing expert care and advice
• Maintaining a professional and welcoming approach to all aspects of the role
• Prepare medicine when appropriate using correct dosages and material for each individual patient
• Comply with all applicable legal rules, regulations and procedures

About you

As Pharmacist you’ll be providing excellent customer and patient care. In addition you will:

• Possess a Pharmacy degree
• Hold membership of the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
• Demonstrate excellent communication skills

Morrisons Pharmacies offer colleagues a high level of working flexibility and control over their work rotas. This enables routine overlap periods with other pharmacists on duty, for consistency of patient care and colleague development.

We are proud to have an inclusive culture where everyone truly feels able to be themselves. Everyone is welcome at Morrisons.
