  • About the role:

  • Lead a team. Inspire your community. Make an impact.

    As a Pharmacy Team Leader, you'll play an important role in supporting the Pharmacist Manager to deliver a safe, effective and customer-focused pharmacy service. You'll help lead and develop the pharmacy team, ensuring colleagues have the support, guidance and communication they need to deliver excellent operational standards and outstanding customer service.

    No two days are the same. One day you could be organising the team, coordinating pharmacy schedules and supporting colleague development. The next you might be overseeing prescription dispensing, managing payment claims, completing essential administration or supporting audits and due diligence processes to ensure the pharmacy operates safely and in line with legislation and Society requirements.

    You'll be a confident and supportive leader, helping colleagues to perform at their best while creating a positive and collaborative working environment. Whether you're responding to changing priorities, supporting colleagues through performance and development conversations, building relationships within the local community or identifying opportunities to improve the pharmacy, you'll play a key role in helping the team deliver safe, professional and exceptional service.

    Here's how you'll make a difference

    • Leading and supporting the pharmacy team, providing guidance, clear expectations and regular communication to help colleagues deliver excellent customer service and operational standards.
    • Supporting the day-to-day running of the pharmacy, including organising schedules, planning colleague annual leave and responding positively to changing priorities.
    • Overseeing safe and compliant pharmacy operations, including due diligence processes, patient safety reporting, error reporting, CD checks and supporting audits and PQS requirements.
    • Supporting colleague development and performance, including annual performance reviews, setting goals and targets, recognising achievements and helping colleagues grow their knowledge and skills.
    • Coordinating pharmacy administration and services, including prescription dispensing, payment claims, reports, Support Services forms and other key submissions, ensuring everything is completed accurately and on time.
    • Building strong relationships with customers, colleagues and the local community, identifying opportunities to develop the pharmacy and exceed customer expectations.

    If you're an experienced pharmacy professional who enjoys leading and developing people, takes pride in delivering high standards and wants to make a genuine difference to customers and the local community this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

  • About You

  • Someone who's passionate about delivering exceptional pharmacy care

    This is a role where leadership, professionalism and a genuine passion for supporting others go hand in hand.

    You'll enjoy building strong relationships with colleagues and customers, creating a positive team environment and helping your pharmacy deliver outstanding care every day. Whether you're coordinating dispensing activities, supporting the development of team members or ensuring high professional standards are maintained, you'll take pride in leading by example while helping improve the health and wellbeing of your local community. 

    Previous experience working in a pharmacy environment will help you succeed, but just as importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys developing others, works collaboratively with colleagues and is committed to delivering excellent service and results. 

    We're looking for someone who can demonstrate:

    • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to motivate, coach and support colleagues to perform at their best.
    • A professional, friendly and approachable manner, with a passion for delivering excellent customer care.
    • Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to build positive relationships and act as a role model for your team.
    • Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage workloads, priorities and operational standards in a busy environment.
    • A proactive and ambitious attitude, with the drive to achieve targets and identify opportunities for improvement.
    • Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining safe, accurate and compliant pharmacy services.
    • A genuine enthusiasm for learning and development, both for yourself and those around you.

    To be considered for this role, you must hold a Level 3 Dispensary qualification (or equivalent) and be registered as a Qualified Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Experience at Accuracy Checking Technician or Dispensing Technician level is essential, while experience leading a team in a similar setting would be advantageous. 

    We're looking for someone who enjoys making a genuine difference every day. You'll take pride in delivering excellent pharmacy services, developing high-performing teams and creating an environment where customers feel valued, supported and cared for. Together, you'll help ensure your pharmacy continues to provide safe, professional and community-focused healthcare services.

    Benefits that support your career

    Alongside the opportunity to support the health and wellbeing of your local community, you'll receive a benefits package that's just as rewarding:

    • 30 days' annual leave (pro rata), including bank holidays
    • A pension scheme with up to 12% employer contributions
    • Generous colleague discounts across our family of businesses
    • An annual discretionary colleague bonus to reward you for your hard work

    We're also proud to be an Investors in People Platinum employer, recognising our commitment to helping colleagues learn, develop and build rewarding careers. Whether you're looking to strengthen your leadership experience or continue growing your pharmacy expertise, we'll support you with ongoing training and opportunities to develop your career within Lincolnshire Co-op.

    Ready to lead and inspire?

    If you're excited by the opportunity to lead a pharmacy team, deliver outstanding customer care and make a positive difference within your local community, we'd love to hear from you.
