Pharmacist Manager — with a genuine, financed pathway to ownership
Fords Discount Pharmacy, Newtown — Full-time
Most \"manager\" pharmacy roles are just a payslip with more responsibility. This one is a genuine path to owning up to 50% of the business financed, so you don't need to bring the capital yourself.
We're an established, QCPP-accredited community pharmacy in the heart of Newtown, backed by an experienced operator who runs a group of healthcare businesses turning over $75M+ across ~200 staff. The owner is deeply invested in this pharmacy's success but doesn't have the day-to-day time to run it. So we're looking for a high-calibre pharmacist to take full operational control, run it brilliantly, and grow it as if it were their own. Because before long, it will be.
The opportunity
You'll start as Pharmacist Manager with full ownership of the pharmacy's operations, team and growth. After an initial 3–6 month period, if it's the right fit both ways, we'll offer you a staged equity arrangement of up to 50% of the pharmacy, and we'll help finance your buy-in. It's a rare chance to step into pharmacy ownership on the back of your performance rather than your bank balance, with hands-on mentorship from someone who has built and scaled multiple healthcare businesses.
The pharmacy
120 scripts per day, with a strong, loyal local base
50 Webster-pak patients and 35 opioid dependence treatment (methadone) patients
Supported by a dispense technician and front-of-shop team member
QCPP accredited
An excellent working relationship with Newtown's largest medical centre (12+ doctors) feeding steady, quality referrals
A great team, a vibrant community, and real room to grow
What we're looking for
Current registration as a pharmacist with the Pharmacy Board of Australia
Ideally 3+ years' experience, with management or 2IC experience in a community pharmacy
Entrepreneurial drive, someone who wants ownership and comes with ideas to grow the business, not just maintain it
Genuine warmth with patients and a commitment to high-quality community care
A hard worker ready to take real responsibility and back themselves
Sound clinical judgement and solid knowledge of pharmacy legislation and compliance
What we offer
A financed pathway to up to 50% ownership. Ownership without needing to fund it upfront
Direct mentorship from a successful multi-business healthcare operator
Autonomy to run your own pharmacy and shape its direction
Competitive remuneration, structured to reward performance
