CVS Health • Daytona Beach, FL

About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail stores. 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 work as part of the pharmacy team, follow standard operating procedures and workflow practices, communicate effectively, and contribute to a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment.

Technicians must complete the company training program and satisfy applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements. Until those requirements are complete, the Pharmacy Manager may restrict their duties. Depending on state law and required training and certification, the role may also include supporting immunizations, point-of-care testing, and offsite clinics. In states where permitted, Technician Immunizers may help prepare and administer vaccines and perform related patient education, documentation, monitoring, and supply-management duties.

• Identify challenging interactions and choose an appropriate course of action.
• Meet the role’s physical demands, including extended standing or upright mobility, reaching, repetitive finger work, stooping, close visual acuity, and lifting or exerting force as described in the posting.
