About The Position

Join a locally owned and operated store to help deliver health, beauty and convenience services in your community, and keep the customer at the centre of everything you do.

Our pharmacy operates within a healthcare facility dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing mental health challenges and substance use disorders. Unlike traditional community pharmacies, we are not open to the public and do not have a front store or retail component. Instead, our focus is entirely on patient care.
