Role Overview
Script Runner is looking for on-demand relief pharmacy delivery drivers to support pharmacies when additional route coverage is needed.
This is not a traditional full-time or fixed-schedule driving role. Instead, this opportunity is designed for individuals who are already comfortable being on the road and want flexible supplemental work when routes become available.
Drivers in this role are contacted only when coverage is needed due to increased delivery volume, staff shortages, route expansion, or short-notice operational needs. You will have the ability to accept or decline work based on your availability.
This role is ideal for people who already work in transportation or delivery-related industries, including:
- Uber or Lyft drivers
- Uber Eats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes, or Instacart drivers
- Courier and delivery drivers
- Retired transportation professionals
- Taxi or shuttle drivers
- Individuals with previous commercial driving experience
- People looking for flexible, supplemental driving income
Unlike traditional gig-app work, pharmacy deliveries are structured, professional, and scheduled. Drivers are provided with route details, pharmacy pickup instructions, and operational support directly from Script Runner.
Important Role Expectations
This is an on-demand relief driver position.
Please read carefully before applying:
- Drivers are contacted only when delivery coverage is needed
- There are no guaranteed weekly hours
- There is no standby pay or stipend
- Drivers are paid only for completed work assignments they accept and perform
- Work availability depends on operational delivery demand
- Some route requests may be communicated on short notice
- Drivers can choose whether they are available when contacted
This role works best for individuals who:
- Already spend significant time driving
- Have flexible schedules
- Want additional income opportunities
- Are comfortable accepting occasional or emergency route coverage
- Prefer independent work with minimal supervision
Key Responsibilities
- Complete assigned pharmacy delivery routes accurately and professionally
- Pick up prescription medications from partner pharmacies
- Deliver medications safely and directly to patients according to delivery instructions
- Follow all privacy, safety, and compliance procedures when handling prescriptions
- Communicate delivery issues, delays, or patient concerns to Script Runner support
- Use required delivery technology such as smartphones, route apps, scanners, or tablets
- Maintain professionalism when interacting with pharmacy staff and patients
- Be prepared to assist with short-notice or urgent route coverage when available
Driving Expectations (Important)
This role is heavily driving-focused. Drivers should be comfortable with:
- Frequent local driving
- Driving in varying weather and traffic conditions
- Independent route completion
- Multiple patient stops per route
- Using navigation and delivery apps throughout the shift
- Occasional urgent or same-day route requests
- Variable route lengths depending on operational needs
Drivers may be assigned routes in Woodstock and surrounding communities. Flexibility to support nearby areas is considered a strong asset.
All active delivery work is paid at the hourly rate, plus per-kilometre reimbursement from pickup location to final delivery stop.
Pay & Compensation
- CA$30/hour for active delivery work
- CA$0.15/km reimbursement per delivery route
- Bi-weekly direct deposit
- Flexible, supplemental work opportunities
