Tired of retail pharmacy? Imagine working in a modern, technology-enabled online pharmacy where you can focus on accuracy, quality and patient safety; without standing behind a retail counter, selling OTC products or being interrupted every few minutes. We will support people willing to relocate from other areas of the UK to become a part of our Winnersh (Reading) based Pharmacy that continues to lead the way for cannabis-based products for medicinal use.
No retail counter. No walk-in patients. No OTC. Focus entirely on delivering safe, high-quality pharmacy care. Modern pharmacy. State of the art renovated premises with onsite free parking. That's what we're building at Montu.
What is the job?
You will be a central, trusted part of our pharmacy operation at our Winnersh (Reading) site — the person the team relies on to make sure every medicine that leaves our pharmacy is right. That means accuracy checking dispensed medicines, keeping standards high, and actively contributing to a culture where getting it right the first time is non-negotiable. You will not be managed through every task. You will be trusted to lead, to spot problems before they become incidents, and to raise the bar for everyone around you.
What will you be doing?
- Carrying out accuracy checks on dispensed medicines, ensuring full compliance with legal, operational and safety standards
- Taking ownership of the end-to-end dispensing process — not just your part of it
- Maintaining clear, accurate prescription records and escalating discrepancies without hesitation
- Actively mentoring junior colleagues and helping to build a team culture rooted in accountability, safety and quality
- Staying sharp on professional development, best practice and regulatory changes — because you want to, not because you have to
- Working with pace and purpose alongside the wider pharmacy team to ensure every patient gets exactly what they need, when they need it
What do you need?
- Level 3 NVQ in Pharmacy Services (ACT) or equivalent ACT qualification
- Current registration as a Pharmacy Technician with the GPhC — no exceptions
- Solid, proven experience in a pharmacy setting with a strong track record in accuracy checking
- Deep working knowledge of pharmacy regulations, policies and SOPs
- The kind of attention to detail that you simply cannot switch off
- Someone who communicates directly, takes accountability for their actions, and does not wait to be told what to do
- A genuine, proven commitment to patient outcomes — not just patient care on paper, but real passion for what happens to the person at the end of the process
What we offer:
- Relocation: We will provide financial support for people relocating from elsewhere in the UK to within commutable distance of our Winnersh (Reading) Pharmacy.
- Full-time contract: 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday, & Saturdays as either overtime or on a shift basis.
- Generous Leave: 25 days holiday (rising to 27 after year one and 30 after year two) + 8 bank holidays
- Pension Matching: Up to 5% employer matching contributions
- Private Healthcare
- Flexibility and Wellness: Work-from-home options, cycle-to-work scheme, and more
- Growth Opportunities: Collaborate across teams and represent Montu at events, with support to grow your skills and impact
- Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave
