Pharmacy Assistant

Harrisville Pharmacy | Moncton, New Brunswick
$20.00–$23.00/hour, based on directly relevant Canadian pharmacy experience

Canadian pharmacy experience is mandatory

This is a pharmacy assistant position and does not require pharmacy-technician registration or a formal pharmacy-assistant diploma.

However, previous hands-on employment experience in a Canadian pharmacy is an absolute requirement. Applications from candidates whose pharmacy experience is exclusively outside Canada, or who have never worked in a Canadian pharmacy, will not be considered.

A different kind of community pharmacy

Harrisville Pharmacy is an independent, pharmacist-owned pharmacy in Moncton. Decisions are made locally by the owners, who work alongside the team.

We combine accurate and dependable prescription care with pharmacist-led assessments, prescribing, vaccines, medication management and other clinical services. Our assistants play an important role in making that possible by keeping the pharmacy organized, supporting safe workflow and helping every patient feel welcome and cared for.

We are looking for an experienced pharmacy assistant who is accurate, calm, organized and genuinely good with people.
