Ready to revolutionize healthcare, making it faster and more accessible than ever before? Founded in 2013 by Dwayne D’Souza, HeliosX was built on a simple but powerful idea: healthcare should be easier to access, faster to receive, and centred around the individual. From day one, we’ve grown without external funding; scaling profitably through technology, disciplined execution, and deep medical expertise.
Today, we operate across four international markets, with successful launches in Germany and Canada and continued expansion in the US. We were also recently recognised in the Sunday Times Top 100 fastest-growing tech companies, further validation of both our momentum and our ambition.
About the Role: Are you detail-oriented, organised, and passionate about delivering safe, accurate pharmaceutical care? HeliosX is looking for a dedicated Dispensing Assistant to support our growing online pharmacy operations. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in ensuring patients receive their medications safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with regulatory standards. This is a full-time, permanent role, based on site in our Leamington Spa warehouse. Shifts will be on a 4 days on & 4 days off schedule, between the hours of 10am-10pm.
What you’ll be doing: As a key member of our pharmacy operations team, you’ll play a hands-on role in dispensing medications across a range of our services – from GLP-1 weight loss treatments to dermatology, men’s health, and more – supporting each patient’s journey with care and accuracy. Working closely with our pharmacists and packing team, you’ll help ensure medications are processed with precision and dispatched rapidly – meeting our customer promise to patients of safe, high-quality care, delivered in record time. Your day-to-day responsibilities would include:
- Accurately selecting and labelling pharmaceutical products according to prescriptions and SOPs
- Printing medication labels and GP letters
- Safely dispatching medications to patients
- Maintaining accurate and compliant Patient Medication Records (PMRs)
- Identifying and flagging any medicine-related issues to the Pharmacist
- Handling stock control, storage, and expiry checks
- Processing returns and managing stock logs
- Organising batch sheets with expiry dates in mind
- Ensuring GP letters are sent out and following up with patients
What you’ll bring: NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in Dispensing Assistant training, accredited and completed under a Responsible Pharmacist or ACT. An eye for detail and strong organisational skills. Confidence using IT systems. Comfortable working in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. Previous pharmacy or warehouse experience is a bonus – but not essential.
Why work with us? At HeliosX, we want to improve healthcare for everyone, and to do this we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition. Aside from working with our all-star team, here are the other benefits of coming on board:
- 23.5 days holiday including UK Bank Holidays
- Private health insurance, along with extra dental and eye care cover
- Employee Pension with Smart Pensions
- Cycle-to-work Scheme
- Free Dermatica and MedExpress products every month, as well as family discounts
- Access to a Headspace subscription, discounted gym memberships, and a learning and development budget
