About Lake Kawana Pharmacy: Lake Kawana Pharmacy is a proudly independent, locally operated community pharmacy in Birtinya, at the heart of the Sunshine Coast’s growing health precinct. Our pharmacy offers something increasingly uncommon: the personal service and accessible management of an independently owned and operated business, combined with the professional standards and clinical connections of a busy healthcare environment. Servicing patients associated with both Lake Kawana General Practice and Kawana Private Hospital, we enjoy regular interaction with a diverse range of medical and allied health professionals. This creates a particularly interesting and professionally rewarding environment, extending well beyond the routine expectations of a conventional community pharmacy role. We take pride in our professional approach, our relationships with patients and healthcare providers, and the positive, personable culture of our team. We believe a great pharmacy is built on great people — and we want our next team member to share that philosophy.

About the role: This is a full-time position suited to an experienced Dispensary Assistant who enjoys being actively involved in the day-to-day operation of a busy community pharmacy. Working both independently and collaboratively with our pharmacists, fellow pharmacy assistants and management, you will contribute to the smooth and efficient operation of the dispensary and the delivery of excellent patient service.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting all aspects of day-to-day dispensary operations and prescription supply.
• Assisting pharmacists with dispensing workflows and the efficient management of prescription orders.
• Maintaining accuracy, organisation and attention to detail in a busy dispensary environment.
• Assisting others in the provision of a friendly, professional service to our patients and customers.
• Liaising with pharmacists, pharmacy management and other pharmacy team members to ensure efficient workflows.
• Communicating professionally with medical and allied health staff associated with our general practice and hospital relationships.
• Contributing to dispensary organisation, stock management and the overall smooth running of the pharmacy.
• Taking initiative, working proactively and helping maintain a positive, collaborative workplace.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work and wants to make a meaningful contribution to a well-established community pharmacy.

About you:

Previous dispensary experience is essential. We are looking for someone who can bring practical experience, confidence and initiative to an established team. You will ideally demonstrate:

• Previous experience working in a community pharmacy dispensary.
• A sound understanding of dispensary procedures and prescription workflows.
• Strong organisational skills, accuracy and attention to detail.
• The ability to work independently, manage priorities and use initiative.
• A collaborative approach and a genuine willingness to support colleagues.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to liaise professionally with pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.
• An energetic, positive and engaging personality, with a friendly and approachable manner.
• Reliability, professionalism and a genuine commitment to quality patient service.

Just as importantly, you will enjoy working as part of a close-knit team. We value people who bring energy to the workplace, communicate openly, treat others with respect and take pride in helping the entire team succeed.

The opportunity:

If you are an experienced Dispensary Assistant who wants to be valued for your contribution, enjoy a varied and professionally rewarding role, and work with a management team that understands the importance of flexibility and personal relationships, we would love to hear from you. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a busy, professionally connected community pharmacy and the personal approach of an independently owned business — with excellent remuneration and your weekends free.
