This job is now closed
Job summary
Are you looking for a role where you can earn while you learn? We are seeking 4 Pre-registration Pharmacy Technician level 3 Apprentices to join us:
Pharmacy technicians are registered professionals working within the regulatory standards for pharmacy as set by the General Pharmaceutical Council.
Our Pre-registration Pharmacy Technician Apprentices undertake a 2-year distance learning training programme with the University of East Anglia with lots of support from our dedicated and experienced training team. You will attend a virtual training to study for the coursework for your Certificate of Higher Education in Pharmacy Technician Practice.
To be eligible to apply for the Pre-registration Trainee Apprentice, you will need 4 GCSE's at grade C/4 or above including Maths, English and science (or a combined science award with one qualification at C/4 or above plus another GCSE). Maths and English Functional skills levels 2 can also be accepted. Pharmacy experience is not essential but would be desirable but a NVQ2 in pharmacy is not an alternative to the academic requirements above. Proof of the above qualifications will be requested at interview.
