Reading Graduate Event - Pharmacy Assistant

We are looking for someone who is passionate about healthcare and genuinely motivated to make a difference , not just looking for a job. This role sits at the heart of our pharmacy operations, and the people who thrive here care about doing things right because real patients depend on it. If you have that attitude, we will take care of everything else.

What is the job?

A hands-on pharmacy role with a real career pathway. You will work in our pharmacy, helping to get cannabis-based medicines to patients safely and accurately. For the right person this is a genuine starting point — many of our assistants move into trainee dispenser roles and build a long-term career in pharmacy from here.

What will you be doing?

• Packing and assembling prescription orders accurately and with care for every patient
• Checking orders are complete, correctly labelled, and ready for dispatch
• Supporting the wider dispensing team across pharmacy operations as needed
• Keeping your workspace organised, efficient, and compliant with pharmacy standards
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to maintain a smooth, high-quality operation

What do you need?

• A genuine passion for healthcare and a desire to make a difference to patients — this matters more than experience
• A strong work ethic — you show up, you take pride in your work, and you are someone your team can rely on
• Excellent attention to detail — accuracy really matters in a pharmacy environment
• A positive, willing attitude and the ability to work well as part of a team
• No prior experience needed — full training is provided from day one
