Job Description

Thank you for your interest in our full time, assistant management level Pharmacy Technician role!

If you are an immunizer, that's great! If not, we will help you become one.

You will work at an over 89 year old, independent, family owned, local, community pharmacy with big plans in the works! Changes on the horizon include emphasizing growth of the clinicial roles and serving our community.

In addition to generations of successes as Rankos Pharmacy, we are increasing clinical services, POC testing & treatment on site, collaborations, emphasis on travel, vaccinations, and prevention (in general). We are also devoted to supporting each and every individual in their life, health, and learning in their personal health journey.

Finally, our devotion to protecting the environment and promoting environmental sustainanility is a core value.

If this role sparks your interest, know there is room for growth! Initially, your responsibilities will be heavy, consistient, and key to the day to day operations of the pharmacy. Additionally, problem solving, accuracy, patient care, and deep consideration of each patient interaction is essential. This emphasizes analyzing each rx and determining (with patient) how can we get each person the lowest possible price. We can special order, participate in programs/grants, and offer discounted pricing (WITHOUT ANY DISCOUNT CARDS)....our discounts are internal.

Additionally, an essential component to this role is organization, time management, taking charge of tasks, and problem solving. You will act as a key leader within the team, assistant, pharmacy manager (if this role turns out to bee appropriate for you).

AUDITS. If you are not fullly capable of setting your goal to be 100% accuracy in every aspect of each rx fill, this is not the role for you. We expect 100% accuracy, and if you are weak in an area, or perhaps don't know how to do a calculation or task the same, everytime, that's ok...just ask us. You must be able to identify areas you need to learn and accept feedback graciously. If you are not able to make changes in areas in which you are innacurate, this is not the job for you. Don't get me wrong, we will work with you and help you as much as is needed, but if you are unable to change, modify, listen politely, and follow the way we do things, consider another position.

Audits. When we get audited, your reaction should be immediately problem solving oriented. If you see an audit or someone asks you to do something. That means right now. If you do not take immediate action when problem solving, this is not the role for you. You must care about each a nd every patient and understand that YOU are essential to the success and advancement of Rankos Pharmacy. The Pharmacy Technician is a key person in all aspects of pharmacy operation. You are a leader.
