Pharmacy Assistant

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Pharmacy Assistant to join our client's specialty pharmacy team in Moncton. This role offers a unique opportunity to gain experience in a non-traditional pharmacy setting that focuses on accuracy, efficiency, and patient support through a role that encompasses shipping coordination and prescription preparation. We are looking for someone who can start immediately – as early as Monday – and contribute to a supportive, fast-paced environment. This is exclusively a temporary opportunity with potential for extension, not a full-time, permanent role so if you are able to commit to a temporary contract, we'd love to hear from you. You must be able to work full-time hours in Canada, clear a criminal background check, provide a minimum of two supervisory references and the role requires the ability to lift up to 50 lbs unassisted from time--to-time and work in varying temperatures (with appropriate training and PPE) as some of the medications are temperature sensitive. Apply today!
