What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medication Management Pharmacy Technician position at Sona Pharmacies?
Description
We Are Looking For
A Pharmacy Technician to work on our medication management team who will play a personal role within our community to ensure our patients receive the medication and care they need. This position works with patients in our Sona Access Program, which is a Medication Support Program that provides 7-day adherence packaging and monthly care calls for patients enrolled in the program. This person will work on a team of technicians and under the direct supervision of a licensed Pharmacist to provide exceptional customer service while assisting patients and filling prescriptions, including locating, dispensing, packaging, and labeling prescribed medication for patients.
Responsibilities
This position is on-site at Sona Pharmacy Asheville (805 Fairview Road) but operates in the back of the building. It is not typically patient-facing but is phone-heavy. The role is 40 hours a week, with rotating weekends.
Requirements
What will you need to succeed?
Not only are we committed to offering excellent company benefits, but we also have the added perk of working in a flexible, respectful, and supportive team environment.
At Sona, our patients are more than medications. They're people with a story, a family, a history, and a future. And when they come to the pharmacy counter, they need more than medications. They need someone who cares about them and wants them to feel their best so they can enjoy their lives outside of the pharmacy walls.
Could you be that "someone"? Our mission can only happen when we hire the right people.
We do not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, pregnancy, military status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
