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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention your daily script volume, such as "dispensed 150+ scripts a day"; it shows you can handle pressure.
If you're still a learner, give the name of your training pharmacy and your expected completion date.
