Important – Please Read Before Applying
We are looking for a reliable, motivated Pharmacy Technician who is already living in Cork and has excellent English (native level or C1/C2 certified).
A formal Pharmacy Technician qualification or experience in Irish community pharmacy is an advantage, but the most important requirement is that you are highly motivated, eager to learn, and committed to working to a high standard.
If you do not meet these essential criteria, please do not apply, as we cannot consider applications outside these requirements.

- Ability to work independently while being supported by a multidisciplinary team
