About the Role

As a Pharmacy Technician at Walgreens, you play a vital role in supporting the pharmacist and ensuring the pharmacy department operates smoothly and safely. Under the direct supervision of a pharmacist, you assist in the practice of pharmacy in strict accordance with state and federal regulations, as well as company policies. Your work is essential to maintaining the integrity of the prescription process and delivering a distinctive, delightful customer experience to every patient who walks through our doors.

Day in the Life

Your day involves a dynamic mix of clinical support, operational precision, and customer engagement. You will utilize pharmacy systems to obtain patient and drug information, process prescriptions, and ensure all data is entered correctly. This includes retrieving, counting, and pouring pharmaceutical drugs, verifying medicine accuracy, and checking for possible interactions. If you are PTCB certified, you will also have the opportunity to coach other pharmacy technicians and cashiers on system operations.

Beyond the counter, you are the face of our pharmacy. You will engage customers by greeting them, offering assistance with products and services, and resolving issues to ensure a positive experience. You will model best practices in interpersonal habits, such as offering help proactively and servicing until satisfied, while developing strong relationships with our most valuable customers. You may also assist in administering clinical services, such as collecting and labeling blood or urine samples, and support inventory management activities like ordering, unpacking, and storing shipments.

We are committed to your professional growth. You will earn and maintain PTCB certification through our designated training program or state-required certification.
