Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Secunda; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

How to stand out

If you're still a learner, give the name of your training pharmacy and your expected completion date.
Write "SAPC Post-Basic" or "SAPC Basic" right next to your name on the CV; this is the first filter.
