Pharmacist Assistant with hands-on dispensing and pharmacy operations experience.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Pharmacist Assistant with a Further Education and Training Certificate (SAQA ID: 72050) and multi-year practical experience in dispensing, inventory management, compounding (non-sterile), patient counselling, and pharmacy administration. I have progressed from learner roles to a Pharmacist Assistant, routinely handling schedule 0–5 products, cold-chain stock, FEFO/FIFO procedures, and JAC medicine management ordering and invoicing.
I bring strong customer-facing skills from prior retail and hospitality roles (cashiering, bartending, sales) combined with maritime safety and stewardess training, a positive attitude, and adaptability. I maintain high standards for cleanliness, regulatory compliance, and confidentiality, and I am available immediately to contribute reliably to pharmacy operations and patient care.
