ABOUT THE ROLE

We are a small, family-run community pharmacy looking for a friendly, reliable and hands-on Pharmacy Assistant to join our team.

- Help receive and organize stock and maintain a welcoming front-store area.
- Make local prescription deliveries to nearby seniors’ apartment buildings during paid working hours, primarily serving two or three buildings with multiple deliveries within each building. This involves walking outdoors, including in cold and winter weather. No personal vehicle or driver’s licence is required.
- Occasionally lift and move boxes containing pharmacy supplies, prescriptions or records, using safe handling practices and assistance as needed.




- Help current and returning customers feel welcome and learn about our pharmacy’s services.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- A friendly, approachable manner and clear, respectful communication.
- Reliability, punctuality, attention to detail and willingness to help with varied tasks.
- Comfort using computers and learning pharmacy software.
