Dispensary Assistant, Langford

Looking for a role where accuracy and care go hand in hand?

Every day, our dispensary team makes sure patients get the right medication, safely and on time.

As a Dispensary Assistant, you'll be part of that team, issuing prescriptions, checking details carefully, and helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

No dispensing qualification? No problem.

We'll support you to work towards a recognised dispensing qualification (NVQ Level 2 or equivalent) while you learn on the job.

If you're accurate, reliable and enjoy working at pace in a busy team, we'd love to hear from you.

Why join us?

We're one of the largest and most innovative groups of GP practices in the South West, caring for more than 85,000 patients across 10 sites throughout Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

We've invested heavily in our people, systems and facilities, creating modern working environments and a supportive culture where people can build long-term careers.

What you can expect:

✅ Structured training and support to gain a dispensing qualification

✅ A supportive, friendly team environment

✅ Monday to Wednesday – 8:00am-6:30pm (30 hours / week)

✅ Real responsibility from day one

✅ Genuine investment in your development

What you'll be doing

You'll:

Issue stock items and prepared prescriptions to patients
Take prescription charges and check exemption statements
Keep accurate financial and dispensing records
Process and bundle prescriptions for the Prescription Pricing Authority
Make sure medicines are stored correctly, including checking and logging fridge temperatures
Double-check dispensed items against prescriptions, flagging anything unclear to senior colleagues
Keep the dispensary clean, tidy and well organised
Hours

30 hour post, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:00am to 6:30pm
