Company: Mint Health + Drugs Employment Type: Full-Time Site: Blue Bottle Pharmacy, Calgary, Alberta

Build Something Meaningful With Us

At Mint Health + Drugs, we believe pharmacy should be personal.

Not every patient fits into a standard medication or dosage form. Our compounding program allows us to work alongside patients, prescribers and healthcare professionals to create individualized medication solutions when commercially available options don't meet a patient's needs.

We're looking for an experienced Registered Pharmacy Technician with a passion for non-sterile compounding to join our specialized team at Blue Bottle Pharmacy.

Your work may include:

Preparing customized compounds according to prescriptions,

Accurately weighing, measuring, mixing and preparing ingredients

Performing pharmaceutical calculations within your scope of practice

Supervising pharmacy assistants in preparing capsules, creams, ointments, gels, liquids and other customized dosage forms

Completing accurate compounding records and required documentation

Performing final checks for completed preparations

Identifying discrepancies or potential quality concerns and escalating them appropriately

Our compounding services may include:

Customized capsules and oral preparations

Dermatological creams, ointments, lotions and gels

Pain-management preparations

Bio‑identical hormone preparations

Pediatric formulations

Customized strengths and dosage forms

Preservative‑free, dye‑free, alcohol‑free or other patient‑specific formulations where appropriate

Medication incident and near‑miss reporting

Compliance with applicable Mint policies, procedures and compounding standards

You’ll be expected to consistently follow established procedures while speaking up when something doesn’t look right.

Help Us Improve How We Compound
We’re looking for more than someone who simply completes the day’s production.

As part of our specialized compounding team, you’ll be encouraged to identify opportunities to make our processes safer, faster and more consistent.

This could include:

Improving prescription entry and preparation workflows

Helping streamline pharmaceutical calculations and commonly used formulations

Identifying unnecessary or duplicated steps

Organizing ingredients and equipment to improve workflow

Helping maintain and improve compounding templates and practice tools

Supporting inventory management and reducing unnecessary waste
