Due to a restructure with our current manager retiring after nearly 40 years with the Practice. We have also seen an increase prescription numbers, we are currently recruiting for a part-time Dispenser to join our Dispensing team based in rural Herefordshire. Applicants must hold a minimum of a level 2 NVQ in Pharmacy Services or equivalent.

Our three site Practice has just over 8800 patients. Our main site is in the village of Kingsland and we have two satellite surgeries in the villages of Leintwardine and Orleton.The successful candidate would be able to work across our sites.

This is therefore an exciting opportunity to provide high-quality patient care whilst working with an excellent and experienced team who are committed to effective delivery.

The candidate should be able to demonstrate evidence of CPD. The practice team encourages and provides opportunities for ongoing professional development.

A full driving license is essential as the post holder will be required to travel between sites as the service requires.

We are proactive training practice and do offer the opportunity for our NVQ level 2s to advance to a level 3 on a Pharmacy Technician training program for the right candidates.
