• Permanent full-time position, 76 hours per fortnight, Pharmacy Technician at Slade Pharmacy Richmond, located within the Epworth Private Hospital
• Rotational roster with shifts ranging between 7am and 10pm – availability across all hours is essential

About the Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Pharmacy Technician to join our dynamic team at Slade Pharmacy Richmond, located at the main entrance of Epworth Private Hospital – Victoria's largest private hospital. This unique role combines hospital dispensary work with front-of-house retail pharmacy services, giving you the chance to develop a broad range of pharmacy skills in a supportive, patient-focused environment.

This full-time role operates on a rotational roster between 7am and 10pm, Monday to Friday. Flexibility is key, and availability across all rostered hours is crucial. There is also the option to substitute one weekday with a Saturday or Sunday, subject to discussion with the team.

You'll be part of a large, collaborative team delivering medications and personalised advice to both public-facing retail customers and private hospital patients, including those discharged from the hospital.

This is not your average retail pharmacy role – you'll have the opportunity to step out from behind the counter and engage directly with patients. From assisting with dispensary tasks to supporting IVF and fertility services, you'll play a key role in our fast-paced, multi-faceted pharmacy. We welcome experienced pharmacy / dispensary technicians as well as pharmacy assistants with dispensing experience who are ready to step into the next stage of their career. Hospital experience is not required – we provide comprehensive training to support your transition.

Join us at Slade Pharmacy Richmond and take your career to the next level while making a real difference in the lives of patients every day.
