Job Description

Patients at a courier chronic medication pharmacy in Polokwane rely on you to get the right medicine into the right hands. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Polokwane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Help customers choose over-the-counter and front-shop products
  • Process medical aid claims and fix rejections before the patient leaves
  • Record cold-chain fridge temperatures twice a day
  • Prepare monthly chronic packs for collection or courier delivery
  • Log Schedule 5 and 6 items in the register as they go out
  • Receive stock, check expiry dates and pack shelves first-expiry-first-out
  • Do cycle counts and flag stock discrepancies to the responsible pharmacist

Must-haves

  • Friendly and clear at a busy counter
  • Accurate with numbers and careful with labels
  • SAPC registration as a Pharmacist's Assistant (Basic or Post-Basic)
  • Able to work Saturdays and some Sundays on a rotation
  • Working knowledge of a dispensing system such as Unisolv, Proscript or Healthbridge-linked software

On offer

  • Paid SAPC registration fees at some groups
  • Staff discount on pharmacy and front-shop items
  • Fixed rota published a month ahead
  • Sponsored Post-Basic studies for Basic assistants
