You Earned Your CPhT. What If You Could Spend More of Your Day Actually Using It?

You know the routine.

You're entering a prescription when the phone rings.

Someone needs the register.

There's a question at pickup.

Another prescription drops into the queue.

Someone needs help finding something.

And somehow, you're supposed to keep every prescription moving accurately while being pulled in five different directions.

If you've built your pharmacy career at Walgreens, CVS, Cub Foods, Hy-Vee, Walmart, Target/CVS, or another busy retail pharmacy , we want to introduce you to a different side of pharmacy.

United Community Pharmacy is hiring an experienced Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) to join our team in Saint Anthony with a primary focus on prescription data entry and medication order processing .

You'll help keep medication orders moving for assisted living communities, memory care communities, group homes, and other healthcare organizations throughout Minnesota.

Your responsibilities will include:

High-volume prescription and medication order data entry

• Processing new prescriptions, refills, renewals, clarifications, and medication changes
• Maintaining accurate patient medication profiles
• Reviewing incoming orders for completeness before pharmacist verification
• Identifying discrepancies and helping resolve prescription questions
• Communicating with pharmacists, nurses, providers, and healthcare teams
• Supporting medication fulfillment and long-term care pharmacy workflows
• Following pharmacy procedures, HIPAA requirements, and applicable regulations

If you've spent the last several years working at a busy retail pharmacy, don't underestimate how valuable that experience can be.

You already understand urgency.

You already know prescription terminology.

You already know what happens when one small detail is entered incorrectly.

You already know how to prioritize when the queue gets busy.

And you've probably developed the ability to concentrate with a lot happening around you.

You still enjoy medications, problem-solving, accuracy, and working alongside pharmacists.

You're just ready for something different than traditional retail.

Maybe you're tired of bouncing between the prescription queue and everything else happening around the pharmacy.

Maybe you've realized that data entry is actually one of the parts of your job you're best at.

Or maybe you're simply curious what pharmacy looks like outside of a retail store.

You don't have to leave the profession you've worked hard to build.

• Strong computer and keyboarding skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Ability to maintain accuracy while working through a high-volume queue
• Retail pharmacy experience is absolutely welcome.
• If your background includes Walgreens, CVS, Cub Foods, Hy-Vee, Walmart, Target/CVS, or another community pharmacy
  , your experience may translate extremely well.
• Previous long-term care or closed-door pharmacy experience is helpful, but you don't need to already come from long-term care to make the switch.

• $22.00–$27.50/hour
  , depending on experience
• Monday through Friday
• Only one Saturday per month
• A role centered heavily around prescription data entry and medication processing
• No traditional retail checkout counter
• Opportunity to work closely with pharmacists and healthcare professionals
• Exposure to long-term care medication management and pharmacy operations
• A chance to expand your pharmacy career beyond traditional retail

You've already invested the time to learn medications, pharmacy systems, prescription processing, insurance, terminology, and the importance of getting every detail right.

Don't throw that experience away.

If you're an experienced Certified Pharmacy Technician who enjoys the technical side of pharmacy and wants to see what your career could look like outside of retail, we'd love to meet you.
