Duty Pharmacy Manager - Hastings in England

At Tesco, people are at the heart of everything we do, and this couldn’t be truer for our pharmacy team.

Whether you’re supporting pharmacists, providing top‑notch services to customers, or fostering community spirit, your work will touch the lives of hundreds of people every day.

We want to help you be at your best, whatever life brings. That’s why we’ll offer you uninterrupted "me time" away from the pharmacy to relax, refuel, and recharge. Aside from these healthy breaks, you’ll also have bags of career choice with leadership training plans from industry experts, so there’s every chance to progress. And if you’ve got an idea for how we can improve things, we’ll make sure you’re given the chance to be heard. It all adds up to a role where you can do good, and feel good, while developing your career.

• Supporting the Pharmacy Manager to lead, train, and develop colleagues.
• Supporting the Pharmacy Manager in building relationships with Primary Care Networks and GPs' surgeries.
• Ensuring accurate payment claims for NHS-covered items.

Qualifications:
