Hedon is a historical town with a church built in 1190!!! And is about 7 miles from Hull city centre. It's a really close knit community with wonderful customers. The team is well established and most have been there over 20 years!
We currently dispense around 14000 items per month, so a VERY busy store, however there is a massive opportunity for growth, plus we are going live with DSP in February! There is a full time ACT in store too.
Pharmacy Opening Times for This Store are:
Opening hours are 8:30-6 mon-fri and 9-6 saturday with a 1-hour full store closure lunch period 1-2pm.
Pharmacist hours would be 9.5 hours per day with a 1-hour unpaid break (so 8.5 paid hours per day) with (I assume) an every other Saturday working pattern, no bank holiday working. We need a pharmacist who is services driven and can assist the expansion of our current services range/volume.
