Community Pharmacist Support Role Across Two Locations in Palmerston North

Pharmacist – Vautier Pharmacy Palmerston North

​

Join our professional team and make a difference! Vautier Pharmacy is a family-run business with a fun, modern work environment. We have been well known in the local community for 35+ years, providing fantastic service and health support through our two suburban pharmacies.

​

About Us:

​

At Vautier Pharmacy, we are big enough to offer a wide range of professional services, including ECP, Trimethoprim, Sildenafil, Methadone, robotic compliance packaging, and deliveries. At the same time, our friendly and supportive team is small enough to ensure a fun workplace where our customers receive best-in-class personal service.

​

We have an exciting Support Pharmacist opportunity to work across both of our Vautier Pharmacy locations in Palmerston North. This role is essential to supporting our experienced and busy dispensary team while helping to grow the pharmacy services we provide to our local community.
