Pharmacist's Assistant (Basic, Retail Pharmacy)

Accuracy is everything in this pharmacy inside a supermarket in Paarl; one checked label at a time. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Paarl; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
