Working 40hrs per week, between the hours of 8am – 6pm, Monday – Friday, you will be part of a small team that accurately picks and packs up to 5000 medicines and ancillary products per day, ensuring that dates are checked, stock is rotated, and any issues are logged in line with regulatory standards, before they go out to our patients.
