Are you a clinical expert with a passion for community health? **Dis-Chem Pharmacies** is looking for a qualified, SAPC-registered **Pharmacist** to join their high-volume dispensary at **Lakeside Mall in Benoni**.
This is a permanent role for a pharmacist who can balance clinical precision with retail speed. If you have your BPharm and a year or two of retail experience under your belt, this is your chance to join SA’s leading pharmacy group.
### **💰 The Package: Competitive & Rewarding**
* **Salary Range:** R42,000 – R48,000 CTC (based on 2–3 years exp).
* **Senior/Tutor Level:** Registered Tutors can push **R55,000 – R65,000 CTC**.
* **Extra Perks:** Monthly & annual performance bonuses, staff discounts, medical aid, and provident fund.
### **💊 Non-Negotiable Requirements (The "Must-Haves")**
Don't let the "Entry Level" tag fool you; the requirements are specific:
* **Qualification:** BPharm Degree + Active **SAPC Registration**.
* **Experience:** 2–3 years in retail pharmacy (Internship and Community Service count!).
* **Legal:** South African Citizen with a **clean criminal and credit record** (MIE vetting is strict).
* **Transport:** Valid driver’s license and **own reliable transport** (essential for late-night retail shifts).
* **Fitness:** Physically able to stand for long periods in a fast-paced dispensary.
### **📋 What the Job Actually Is**
You are the **Responsible Pharmacist** on the floor. Your day looks like:
* **Clinical Oversight:** Evaluating prescriptions and signing off on work from assistants and interns.
* **Patient Care:** Providing counseling on drug interactions, compliance, and OTC "Pharmacist-Initiated Therapy."
* **Compliance:** Managing Schedule 6 registers and adhering to GPP and the Medicines Act.
* **Supervision:** Leading a team of assistants to ensure the dispensary hits its targets accurately.
### **⚠️ Jobbing101 Insider "Red Flags"**
* **Not a 9-to-5:** Retail pharmacy means shifts. You will work weekends, public holidays, and late evenings (until 8:00 PM).
* **High Liability:** You carry the legal weight for every script you sign off. Attention to detail is a survival skill here.
* **Vetting is Real:** Dis-Chem will check your credit. If you have active defaults, you likely won't pass the MIE clearance.
* **Transport is Key:** Public transport at Lakeside Mall is unreliable after dark. Own transport is a "hard" requirement for this store.
### **🚀 Who Should Apply?**
Ideal for pharmacists with **1–3 years post-community service experience**. If you are a **Registered Tutor**, highlight this immediately—Dis-Chem pays a premium for those who can mentor the next generation of interns.
