Why Join BioPro?

At BioPro, you will have the opportunity to use your knowledge, communication skills, and problem-solving ability to support the BioPro team and patients through some of the most challenging parts of their healthcare journey.

You will help improve access to drug treatment, support medication deliveries, work with the BioPro team and build relationships with patients who truly value your assistance. This is a role for a pharmacy assistant who wants greater flexibility, predictable hours, skilled growth, and a stronger sense of purpose at work, while performing technical duties.

At BioPro Biologics Pharmacy, we do pharmacy differently. We are a specialized clinical practice focused on supporting patients managing complex, chronic conditions and biologic therapies. In addition to this specialization, we provide support for all medications and administer vaccinations as well as prepare non-sterile pharmaceutical compounds.

Rather than rushing through hundreds of repetitive prescriptions a day, our team takes the time to build real relationships, solve meaningful coverage challenges, and provide comprehensive patient support for patients around the province.

Because our focus is on specialized outpatient and clinic collaboration, our team enjoys true job satisfaction and with a predictable work schedule that is weekdays only and Statutory holidays off, there is genuine work-life balance.

BioPro Biologics Pharmacy (award winning practice and featured on the cover of Pharmacy Practice+) is located in the Health Hub of Vancouver near Vancouver General Hospital providing patient-centred care and services, education, medication management/navigation and health guidance to clients. You will support BioPro Pharmacists providing consultative services to clients, managing drug therapies for chronic conditions, assessing and prescribing to treat minor ailments, and requesting laboratory measurements. Our practice involves a ratio of more pharmacists than support staff and you will be supported by the team.





We prioritize medication management and pharmaceutical care and have a secondary focus on retail sales.

What makes this role different

- Insurance and coverage navigation. You’ll help describe coverage of medications with respect to PharmaCare Special Authority, private insurer prior authorizations, manufacturer patient support programs (PSPs) and compassionate/bridging coverage.
