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

What you get

Fixed rota published a month ahead
Staff discount on pharmacy and front-shop items
Paid SAPC registration fees at some groups

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified matric certificate, short list of dispensing systems you have used plus SAPC registration certificate and proof of this year's fees.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Vereeniging.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Mention your daily script volume, such as "dispensed 150+ scripts a day"; it shows you can handle pressure.
Write "SAPC Post-Basic" or "SAPC Basic" right next to your name on the CV; this is the first filter.
