About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy teams in retail locations by helping deliver safe, accurate, and timely prescription fulfillment and compassionate customer service. Technicians work across pharmacy stations—including production, pickup, drive-through, and drop-off—and follow company standard operating procedures, workflow practices, and applicable legal and professional requirements. They help create positive patient experiences, protect patient privacy and safety, and contribute to an inclusive, high-performing team.

After starting in the role, 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. Where permitted by law and supported by appropriate training and certification, Technicians may also provide services such as immunizations, point-of-care testing, and offsite clinic staffing. Technician immunizers may prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients and refer vaccine questions to the pharmacist, monitor and report adverse reactions, collect and document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.

The role requires regular and predictable attendance, including nights and weekends, and the ability to complete required training within the designated timeframe. Technicians must be attentive, adaptable, service-oriented, and able to communicate effectively, apply basic math, and resolve challenging interactions. Physical demands include standing and remaining mobile for extended periods, handling and scanning items, reaching, repetitive finger movements, stooping, close visual work, and lifting or exerting force as described in the posting. The position is part-time, with 29 anticipated weekly hours and fixed shift availability requirements; every other weekend is required. The posted hourly pay range is $16.00–$24.00.
