Pharmacy Technicians at Safeway assist the pharmacist in providing patients with safe and effective medications in order to improve their physical and mental health. The absolute primary job of a pharmacy technician is to provide superior customer service. In pharmacy that means quickly and politely helping customers in-person in the store, and on the phone. It means offering solutions to customers and helping them get the medications they need. Ideally you will anticipate their needs and actively participate in preventing and solving problems for them. Technicians type prescription orders into the computer, fill prescription orders including counting “pills” and sell prescriptions at the register. Some basic math (with a calculator) including multiplication and division, is needed. You will learn how to bill insurance plans for prescriptions. Pharmacy technicians communicate with patients and doctors on the phone in a friendly, efficient, and professional manner. They manage pharmacy inventory including restocking medications, checking in and labeling received orders, and removing expiring medications from the shelf.

I’m looking for someone who is eager to learn, reliable, and friendly. Everything else I can teach you. If you’re not sure if this job is right for you but are interested, just call me – I’m happy to answer your questions.
