      About the opportunity

      As a Boots Pharmacist, you won’t just manage the safe supply of medicines, you’ll lead a business, inspire a team, and shape the future of pharmacy in your community. This role is perfect for those with a growth mindset and a passion for excellence. Whether it’s driving service delivery, championing clinical care, or building a motivated team, you’ll bring ambition, accountability, and the mindset of a pharmacy owner. You’ll thrive when given the opportunity to take ownership and run your pharmacy like it’s your own. If you're someone who believes in going beyond average, who wants to set the standard, not follow it - then this is the opportunity for you.

      • Taking ownership of commercial and clinical performance, with a focus on raising standards and delivering strong patient outcomes.
      • Delivering NHS, locally commissioned, and private services and embracing the use of technology to enhance the patient experience.
      • Consistently monitoring and evaluating pharmacy standards and safety to ensure patients, customers, and team members are always protected.
      • Working in partnership with the Store Manager to develop the capability, confidence, and cohesion of the healthcare team.
      • Inspiring and coaching colleagues to grow in their roles, building a team culture based on performance, development, and shared ambition.

      What you’ll need to have
      • Registration with the relevant pharmacy regulator (GPhC, PSNI, or PSI)
      • A growth mindset - you’re someone who is always looking to improve, learn, and lead change
      • Strong communication and leadership skills to build trusted relationships with patients, your team, and local healthcare professionals
      • Experience in driving pharmacy performance and leading with a high standard of patient care
      • A desire to deliver and champion essential, advanced, and private pharmacy services
      • The confidence to own results, set a clear vision, and bring others along on the journey


      Our benefits
      • Fully funded services training
      • GPhC/PSNI/PSI Fees reimbursed
      • Indemnity insurance cover
      • Discretionary annual bonus scheme
      • CPD Days and protected learning time
      • Development opportunities to enhance your career
      • Generous staff discount
      • Enhanced Maternity / Paternity / Adoption leave pay
      • Additional Option to buy benefits including additional 5 days holidays
