Pharmacy Technician

CVS Health • Beaver, WV

2d • $16 - $24 • 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 culture. After starting, technicians must complete the company training program and satisfy applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements; the Pharmacy Manager may restrict duties until requirements are met.

Depending on state law and required training or certification, technicians may also support immunizations, point-of-care testing, and offsite clinics. Where permitted, Technician Immunizers complete additional training and licensure requirements, educate patients about vaccines, refer clinical questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitor and report adverse reactions, collect and document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.
