Sydney, NSW

$109,000 – $140,000+ per annum + superannuation, depending on experience and agreed working hours

An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced and motivated Pharmacist Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of a progressive and rapidly evolving pharmacy.

This is an opportunity for a pharmacist who is ready to move beyond a traditional community pharmacy role and take genuine ownership of people leadership, pharmacy operations, clinical governance, workflow improvement and team development.

The successful candidate will be an experienced pharmacist and capable leader who enjoys developing people, improving processes and creating a high-performing pharmacy environment while maintaining exceptional standards of patient care and regulatory compliance.

This Is Not a Traditional Community Pharmacy Role

Our pharmacy operates within a specialised and rapidly evolving area of pharmacy practice, with workflows, patient interactions and operational requirements that differ from those of a traditional community pharmacy.

You must be adaptable, comfortable with change and willing to learn new systems and ways of working.

We are looking for someone who can think beyond the dispensary bench — someone who can lead a team, solve problems, improve workflows, manage competing priorities and contribute to the continued development of the pharmacy.

About the Role

As Pharmacist Manager, you will hold responsibility for both pharmacy practice and the day-to-day leadership of the pharmacy team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, supporting and developing pharmacists, dispensary technicians and pharmacy support staff

• Managing day-to-day pharmacy operations and maintaining effective workflow

• Maintaining clinical oversight and performing dispensing and pharmacist duties as required

• Ensuring safe, accurate and legally compliant dispensing practices

• Managing Schedule 8 medicines and associated regulatory requirements

• Monitoring workload, staffing requirements, rostering and operational priorities

• Conducting regular staff one-on-ones, performance reviews and development discussions

• Supporting recruitment, interviewing, onboarding and training of new team members

• Managing performance concerns and supporting a professional, accountable workplace culture

• Acting as a senior escalation point for patient complaints, staff concerns and operational issues

• Identifying workflow bottlenecks and implementing practical process improvements

• Assist in developing and maintaining SOPs, training resources and operational procedures

• Monitoring key pharmacy performance indicators including script volumes, dispensing accuracy and turnaround times

• Supporting stock management, inventory control and operational efficiency

• Working closely with senior pharmacy operations management on business performance, growth initiatives and continuous improvement

• Ensuring the pharmacy remains compliant, organised and audit-ready at all times

• Reporting and meeting with the management team regularly

About You

You will be a Pharmacist Manager who is confident taking responsibility and providing direction to a team.

Ideally, you will demonstrate:

• Current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Pharmacist

• Strong clinical and dispensing experience

• Previous experience as a Pharmacist Manager is a must

• Demonstrated leadership and people-management capability

• Confidence providing constructive feedback and managing staff performance

• Strong communication, interpersonal and conflict-resolution skills

• Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities

• A sound understanding of Schedule 8 medicines and pharmacy regulatory requirements

• Strong attention to clinical governance, documentation and compliance

• The ability to remain calm and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment

• Commercial awareness and an interest in pharmacy performance and continuous improvement

• Confidence using pharmacy technology and learning new systems

• A proactive approach — you identify problems and work towards solutions rather than waiting for direction

• A genuine interest in developing both yourself and the people around you

Most importantly, you will need to be adaptable.

The pharmacy and the broader industry continue to evolve, and the person joining us must be comfortable working in an environment where systems, processes, technology and operational priorities will continue to develop.

Remuneration & Hours

Hourly rate: $55–$60 per hour + superannuation, depending on experience.

Hours available: Approximately 38–45 hours per week.

We are prepared to offer a competitive package for the right Pharmacist Manager who can demonstrate strong leadership capability and the ability to take ownership of the pharmacy's day-to-day operations.
