Pharmacy Technician

CVS Health • Wheat Ridge, CO

19d • $17 - $27 • Onsite

About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support the pharmacy team in delivering operational and service excellence in retail locations. They help ensure pharmacy operations run smoothly, prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, and patients receive caring service. Technicians follow standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflows, communicate effectively, and contribute to a safe, inclusive team culture. After starting, they must complete the company training program and satisfy applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements; duties may be restricted by the Pharmacy Manager until those requirements are met.

Technicians may support pharmacy workstations including production, pick-up, drive-thru, and drop-off; provide patient service and resolve or escalate problems; perform basic inventory activities; and, where legally permitted and appropriately trained, support additional health services such as immunizations and point-of-care testing. Technician Immunizers have additional licensure and training responsibilities related to vaccine preparation and administration, patient education and information, adverse reaction monitoring and reporting, documentation, and vaccine supplies.
