About The Position

CVS Health District Support Pharmacists travel within a district to cover pharmacist scheduling gaps and support pharmacy teams. Under the direction of the Pharmacy Manager and Rx District Leader, the DSP helps manage, oversee, and operate pharmacies while serving as a role model and promoting a culture of excellence, safety, and compassionate patient care. During shifts without an overlapping Pharmacy Manager, the DSP serves as the manager’s proxy and may assume day-to-day Pharmacy Manager duties when acting as the only or primary pharmacist on duty. The role includes dispensing prescriptions safely and appropriately, counseling patients, administering immunizations, supporting clinical services such as testing and prescribing where permitted, and helping resolve insurance or medication issues. The DSP guides pharmacy teams in workflow, prescription accuracy, inventory management, cold-chain protection, patient privacy, controlled-substance compliance, and applicable laws and professional standards. The position requires travel within a reasonable radius, flexibility to meet scheduling and business needs, regular and predictable attendance including nights and weekends, and completion of required training. Physical duties include standing and moving for extended periods, handling and reaching for items, repetitive finger and hand movements, stooping, close visual work, and occasional lifting or exertion of up to 20 pounds. This is a full-time position scheduled for 40 hours per week. The stated typical pay range is $60.00–$76.00 per hour, with eligibility for a CVS Health bonus, commission, or short-term incentive program. Eligible full-time colleagues may receive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, retirement savings options, wellness programs, and other resources, subject to eligibility.
