John Tasker House Surgery is seeking a Dispenser to support our existing team in the dispensary.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our in-house dispensary, and we are looking to recruit a qualified Dispenser to cover all areas of dispensary duties within our practice.

The successful candidate must be a motivated individual and be able to work well under pressure, have good interpersonal and communication skills, and a commitment to delivering outstanding patient care. The candidate will need to be NVQ2 or equivalent qualified, have experience using SystmOne and experience performing final accuracy checks on dispensed prescriptions.

Responsibilities are as follows but not exhaustive:

  • Assisting with processing repeat prescription requests, providing advice and being able to resolve queries
  • Stock management and maintenance
  • Dispensing prescriptions
  • Accuracy checking dispensed medication
  • Ensuring optimisation of medication
  • Working with GPs and other teams within the practice to ensure seamless service in regard to prescription requests
  • Analysing prescription data in order to produce accurate prescribing reports

The vacancy is up to full-time across Monday to Friday and specific dates/times of shifts will be discussed at interview.

The practice has a main surgery in Dunmow and a branch surgery in nearby Felsted. Dispensing staff work across both sites, and it is therefore essential that the successful candidate has their own means of transport.

At John Tasker House & Felsted Surgeries we pride ourselves on being friendly and approachable whilst being extremely patient focussed. We currently have 15,000+ patients with a growing list size and are rated as ‘good’ with the Care Quality Commission. We have an active social committee and events take place at multiple times throughout the year. We are keen to hear from anybody with the relevant qualifications and skillset who may be interested in the position of Dispenser.

Please note that we reserve the right to close the advertisement early should a suitable candidate be found.
