CVS Health • Port Orange, FL

About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail locations. They help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately, and are often the first point of contact for patients and customers. Technicians follow company standard operating procedures, pharmacy workflow practices, applicable laws and professional standards, and contribute to a safe, inclusive, and engaging team environment. After starting, technicians must complete the company training program and meet applicable state registration, licensing, and certification requirements; duties may be restricted by the Pharmacy Manager until those requirements are satisfied.

Technicians assist patients at pharmacy workstations, including production, pickup, drive-through, and drop-off. They provide caring service, help resolve or escalate patient issues, offer immunizations and other services where permitted, and may perform additional patient-care services such as point-of-care testing or staffing offsite clinics when trained and certified. Where permissible, technicians may obtain Technician Immunizer status and support vaccine preparation and administration, patient education and referrals, adverse-reaction response and reporting, patient information collection and documentation, and vaccine-supply management.

The position requires regular and predictable attendance, including nights and weekends, and flexibility to work shifts at other stores in the market as business needs require. The role is part-time, with 25 anticipated weekly hours. The stated typical pay range is $16.00–$24.00 per hour; actual offers depend on factors including experience, education, geography, and other relevant factors.
