As a Pharmacy Technician at Walgreens, you serve as a vital link between our patients and our pharmacy team. Your primary mission is to ensure a positive, distinctive, and delightful customer experience by engaging with patients, greeting them warmly, and offering proactive assistance with products and services. You will model best practices in interpersonal habits—such as courtesy, eye contact, and identifying needs—to help deliver on our commitment to servicing customers until they are satisfied.
In this role, you operate under the supervision of the pharmacist to assist in the daily practice of pharmacy. Your day involves a blend of clinical support and operational excellence, from filling prescriptions and verifying medication details to managing inventory and handling third-party claims. You will also play a key role in maintaining the pharmacy's efficiency by coaching technicians and cashiers, ensuring the department remains clean, stocked, and orderly. Additionally, you may assist in administering clinical services and building relationships with the local medical community to enhance healthcare growth opportunities.
Walgreens is dedicated to fostering a respectful environment where all team members collaborate to drive efficiency and quality. We adhere strictly to the Pharmacy Code of Conduct and policies regarding Good Faith Dispensing, ensuring that every action aligns with state, federal, and company standards. We believe in continuous learning and personal development, encouraging technicians to maintain their PTCB or ExCPT certifications and stay current with the latest healthcare developments.
We are committed to diversity and inclusion, considering employment of qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. Our team thrives on flexibility, with a willingness to work varying schedules including evenings and weekends to meet patient needs.
To join our team, candidates must hold a valid PTCB or ExCPT certification (except in Puerto Rico) and possess one year of prior experience as a pharmacy technician in a retail or hospital setting. Fluency in English is required, and a willingness to obtain active immunization certification within 90 days of hire is necessary for most locations.
