Pharmacy Manager - Uttoxeter

At Tesco Pharmacy, we always keep customers at the heart of what we do, from our specially trained Pharmacists providing information and support on cancer, heart diseases and diabetes to dispensing medication.  

Our stores make sure our Pharmacists always receive uninterrupted breaks away from the pharmacy, to help them relax, refuel and recharge on or off site. Our pharmacy teams are supported by trained multi-skilled colleagues from across the store, available to support when required to maintain safe staffing and flexibility.

Whilst working part of a close team, some of your responsibilities will be:

• Making sure our expertise and medicines are easily accessed, providing patient services, dispensing, and giving healthcare advice.

** Pharmacists working for Tesco will have to complete a DBS check (organised by Tesco) prior to commencement of employment.

Our Pharmacies are led and supported exclusively by Pharmacists; we are always looking to develop new ways to deliver the best service possible for our communities.
