Registered Pharmacy Technician - Full-Time, Permanent - Specialty Pharmacy Setting - Lower Mainland, BC - Healthcare
Are you a Registered Pharmacy Technician who loves solving problems and wants a change from retail, shifts that shift all over the place and would prefer to put more money in your pocket versus paying for parking and union dues? Keen to work with a company that has a clear career runway for technicians into leadership and/or even eventually onto the programs side of the business? Do you value having your evenings and weekends free for your family or for more "me time?" We have an incredible role for you to consider!
