We’re looking for a skilled professional with a strong background in pharmacy and management. The ideal candidate will have:

• Qualifications: A Bachelor of Pharmacy degree or an equivalent qualification is essential. You must be registered as a pharmacist at the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC). Being a registered tutor is a bonus.
• Experience: Proven experience in managing staff and working in a retail pharmacy environment is a must.
• Knowledge & Skills: You should have a solid understanding of retail operations, pharmacy legislation, and financial management principles. Strong computer literacy, particularly with MS Office, is required. Experience with dispensing systems like Unisolv and Marconi (advantageous) is also a plus.
