Registered Compounding Pharmacy Technician

Registered Compounding Pharmacy Technician – Non-Sterile Compounding

Company: Mint Health + Drugs

Employment Type: Full-Time

At Mint Health + Drugs, we believe pharmacy should be personal.

Not every patient fits into a standard medication or dosage form. Our compounding program allows us to work alongside patients, prescribers and healthcare professionals to create individualized medication solutions when commercially available options don't meet a patient's needs.

We're looking for an experienced Registered Pharmacy Technician with a passion for non-sterile compounding to join our specialized team at Blue Bottle Pharmacy.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical side of pharmacy: precision, calculations, formulation preparation, quality control and creating customized medications. You'll work closely with our Compounding Pharmacist and pharmacy team to deliver high-quality preparations while helping us continuously improve the efficiency and capacity of our compounding program.

You’ll play an important hands‑on role in the preparation of non‑sterile compounded medications.

Your work may include:

• Preparing customized compounds according to prescriptions,
• Accurately weighing, measuring, mixing and preparing ingredients
• Performing pharmaceutical calculations within your scope of practice
• Supervising pharmacy assistants in preparing capsules, creams, ointments, gels, liquids and other customized dosage forms
• Selecting and preparing appropriate equipment, ingredients and packaging
• Completing accurate compounding records and required documentation
• Performing final checks for completed preparations
• Identifying discrepancies or potential quality concerns and escalating them appropriately

Our compounding services may include:

• Customized capsules and oral preparations
• Dermatological creams, ointments, lotions and gels
• Bio-identical hormone preparations
• Pediatric formulations
• Customized strengths and dosage forms
• Preservative‑free, dye‑free, alcohol‑free or other patient‑specific formulations where appropriate
• Medications that are commercially unavailable or discontinued

Compounding requires an exceptional level of precision and attention to detail.

You'll help maintain strong standards for:

• Master Formulation Records and Compounding Records
• Ingredient lot numbers and traceability
• Beyond‑use dates and storage requirements
• Accurate weighing, measuring and pharmaceutical calculations
• Equipment cleaning, maintenance and calibration
• Compounding area cleanliness and organization
• Quality control procedures
• Ingredient and supply inventory
• Monitoring ingredient expiry dates and stock rotation
• Reducing ingredient and preparation waste
• Documentation and record keeping
• Medication incident and near‑miss reporting
• Compliance with applicable Mint policies, procedures and compounding standards

You'll be expected to consistently follow established procedures while speaking up when something doesn't look right.

We're looking for more than someone who simply completes the day's production.

As part of our specialized compounding team, you'll be encouraged to identify opportunities to make our processes safer, faster and more consistent.

This could include:

• Improving prescription entry and preparation workflows
• Helping streamline pharmaceutical calculations and commonly used formulations
• Identifying unnecessary or duplicated steps
• Organizing ingredients and equipment to improve workflow
• Helping maintain and improve compounding templates and practice tools
• Supporting inventory management and reducing unnecessary waste
• Identifying recurring workflow issues and recommending solutions

We want someone who takes pride in their workspace and sees opportunities to make a good process even better.
