Pharmacy Technician

CVS Health • South Jordan, UT

20d • $17 - $27 • Onsite

About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail stores. They help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, and provide caring service to patients and customers. Technicians follow standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflow across production, pick-up, drive-thru, and drop-off workstations while communicating effectively and contributing to a safe, inclusive team culture.

Where permitted, immunizer responsibilities can include preparing and administering vaccines, educating patients, referring clinical questions to the pharmacist, responding to and reporting adverse reactions, documenting patient information, and managing vaccine supplies.

This is a part-time position with 20 anticipated weekly hours. The typical pay range is $17.00–$27.00 per hour, with the actual offer depending on factors such as experience, education, and geography. Eligible benefits and programs may include dental and vision coverage, wellness resources, employee discounts, and certain voluntary benefits, depending on hours worked and eligibility.
