Pharmacy Technician

CVS Health • Adrian, MI

15d • Onsite

About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail locations. They are often the first point of contact for patients and customers, helping ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately while providing caring service. Technicians follow standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflow practices, communicate effectively, and contribute to a safe, inclusive team environment. After starting, technicians must complete the company’s training program and meet applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements. Duties may be restricted by the Pharmacy Manager until those requirements are completed.

Depending on state law and required training and certification, technicians may provide additional patient health services such as immunizations and point-of-care testing, and may staff offsite clinics. Technician immunizers must complete additional licensure and training requirements and may prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients and refer vaccination questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitor and report adverse reactions, collect and document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.

The role requires regular and predictable attendance, including nights and weekends, and may involve flexibility to work shifts at other stores in the market. This is a part-time role with 20 anticipated weekly hours. The typical pay range is $16.50–$25.00 per hour; the actual offer depends on factors such as experience, education, and geography. Eligible part-time colleagues may have access to benefits and programs depending on hours worked and eligibility, including dental and vision coverage, wellness resources, employee discounts, and certain voluntary benefits.
