About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy teams in delivering operational and service excellence in retail locations. They help ensure pharmacy operations run smoothly and prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, while providing caring service to patients and customers. Technicians follow standard operating procedures, pharmacy workflow practices, and applicable laws and policies, and contribute to a safe, inclusive team culture. Once hired, they must complete the company training program and satisfy state-specific registration, licensing, and certification requirements.
