Job Description

You'll be based at a primary health care clinic dispensary in Midrand. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

Capture scripts on the dispensing system and check them against medical aid rules
Prepare monthly chronic packs for collection or courier delivery
Pick, count and label medicine for the pharmacist's final check
Do cycle counts and flag stock discrepancies to the responsible pharmacist

You'll need

Working knowledge of a dispensing system such as Unisolv, Proscript or Healthbridge-linked software
Understanding of medical aid claim codes and PMB chronic rules
Friendly and clear at a busy counter
SAPC registration as a Pharmacist's Assistant (Basic or Post-Basic)
Accurate with numbers and careful with labels

Helpful, not essential

Experience in a courier or chronic medication pharmacy
Registered for the Post-Basic qualification if you currently hold Basic

What you get

Fixed rota published a month ahead
Staff discount on pharmacy and front-shop items
Sponsored Post-Basic studies for Basic assistants

Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Mention your daily script volume, such as "dispensed 150+ scripts a day"; it shows you can handle pressure.
