Pharmacy Assistant

This is an exceptional chance to join a professional, "closed-door" pharmacy focused on patient well-being. You will enjoy a weekday schedule with shifts primarily scheduled between 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, or 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (rostered in advance). In the spirit of transparency, please note that future scheduling may occasionally require shifts from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, so we are looking for talent who are available to work between the hours of 8:30 AM and as late as 8:00 PM.

You will be working in a modern, well-lit, office-style environment that offers genuine opportunities for internal advancement and professional development. To succeed in this role, you must bring at least two years of experience managing prescription intake and patient services (billing, adjudication, filling prescriptions) in a fast-paced, mid-to-high volume setting.
