Job Description

You'll help a private hospital dispensary in Potchefstroom dispense scripts, manage stock and advise patients at the counter. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Receive stock, check expiry dates and pack shelves first-expiry-first-out
  • Process medical aid claims and fix rejections before the patient leaves
  • Pick, count and label medicine for the pharmacist's final check
  • Record cold-chain fridge temperatures twice a day
  • Help customers choose over-the-counter and front-shop products

Must-haves

  • SAPC registration as a Pharmacist's Assistant (Basic or Post-Basic)
  • Matric with Maths or Maths Literacy
  • Understanding of medical aid claim codes and PMB chronic rules
  • Accurate with numbers and careful with labels
  • Able to work Saturdays and some Sundays on a rotation

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Potchefstroom really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: short list of dispensing systems you have used plus SAPC registration certificate and proof of this year's fees.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

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.
  • Mention your daily script volume, such as "dispensed 150+ scripts a day"; it shows you can handle pressure.
