About the role
As an online healthcare provider, we carry out a range of testing and treatment services for patients. Your role will be in our non-patient-facing mail-order pharmacy, supporting the supply and dispensing of medications to patients.

You will adhere to ethical, professional and legal pharmacy standards. This may at times involve you acting as the main dispenser, helping to coordinate our pharmacy operations.

You will deliver the technical aspects of the dispensary whilst ensuring the safe supply of medicines, e.g. labelling, dispensing, and packaging of medications and test kits. You will need to be diligent, show close attention to detail and be familiar with working on high-volume repetitive tasks at scale.

This is a great opportunity to be part of our team, working directly alongside our pharmacists and doctors. We do not have any pressure-driven targets, and we guarantee you a lunch break out of the pharmacy every day. In addition, you will work with our customer support and operations teams to deliver efficient dispensary operations, building out the best service offering for our patients.

• Labelling, Dispensing, Dispatching: Labelling and dispensing a range of different prescriptions and preparing them for dispatch to patients across the UK.
• Stock Management and Sorting: Supporting the wider team to help manage the stock levels of medication and consumables in the pharmacy, including handling and storing stock, and occasionally helping bring stock and sundries into the office, including lifting trays of ice packs (approx. 20kg) into freezers. You must be physically able to lift this safely; manual handling training is provided.
• Maintain Work Areas: Keeping your work area clear and tidy at all times.
• Order Processing: You will be required to use our database, computer equipment and scanner to help manage the dispatch of medication and test kits.
• Excellence and quality: You strive for, and help others achieve high standards. You are instrumental in communicating, collaborating and interacting with the operations team at all levels to ensure that the service provided to our patients is excellent.
