About The Position

CVS Health is seeking a District Support Pharmacist (DSP) to support retail pharmacies across a district by covering pharmacist scheduling gaps and helping oversee pharmacy operations and teams. Under the direction of the Pharmacy Manager and Rx District Leader, the DSP travels among district stores and serves as a role model for safe, compassionate, patient-centered care.

The DSP supports pharmacy staff through coaching, follows applicable laws and company policies, maintains professional skills and required training, and adapts to scheduling and business needs. The position requires travel within a reasonable radius, regular and predictable attendance including nights and weekends, and the ability to meet the described physical demands. This is a full-time position with anticipated weekly hours of 40. The typical pay range is $60.00–$76.00 per hour. The role is eligible for a CVS Health bonus, commission, or short-term incentive program, in addition to a benefits package that may include medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, retirement savings options, wellness programs, and other resources, based on eligibility.
