ABOUT
Join a well established and respected independent, family-owned pharmacy, adjacent to an established medical clinic with 3 physicians. You will play an integral role in the health of the patients you serve, and the broader community, in a community‑focussed practice where patient relationships matter.

We are a well known medical equipment and supplies retailer, also offering over‑the‑counter medication and patient aids. What you won’t find is giftware, greeting cards, confectionary, lotto tickets, HABA, and strong scented products. You will possess a strong moral and ethical compass.

We offer the stability, competitive wage and benefits of a large chain pharmacy, with the flexibility, respect and appreciation of a local, family‑owned business. The pharmacy has a full team in place, including 3 pharmacy assistants (1 soon to be a registered pharmacy technician), 1 registered pharmacy technician, and 2 pharmacists, including the pharmacist‑owner. We have a steady and manageable volume, and offer an excellent work/life balance.

There are no evenings, Sundays or holidays, and work a 3 hour shift every third Saturday.

Experience is an asset but aptitude and attitude are what matter most.
