Pharmacist, Full Time
Ready to escape the endless prescription assembly line and unattainable corporate quotas? Come practice pharmacy the way it was meant to be! Nicole’s Pharmacy is a vibrant, independent community pharmacy in St. Albert built on kindness, inclusion, and authentic care. We’re looking for a down-to-earth, full-scope APA Pharmacist who wants to trade corporate metrics for meaningful patient outcomes—including providing a safe, dedicated space for gender-affirming care.
You won’t be stranded on an island here. You’ll be supported by a stellar, tightly-knit team (1 Registered Technician and 2 Assistants) known for keeping workflow smooth and stress levels low. We take care of our community Monday to Friday (9:00 am – 6:00 pm) and Saturdays (10:00 am – 4:00 pm). No night shifts, no Sundays, and weekend shifts are split equitably—meaning you’ll currently only work 1 out of every 3 Saturdays. If you’re ready to practice to your full scope and actually have time to talk to your patients, we’d love to welcome you to the family.
