Pharmacy Technician

CVS Health • Hudson, FL

20d • $17 - $25 • 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, personalized service. Technicians follow standard operating procedures and pharmacy workflows, communicate effectively, and help create a safe and inclusive environment for colleagues and patients.

After hiring, Technicians must complete the company training program and satisfy applicable state Board of Pharmacy registration, licensing, and certification requirements. Duties may be restricted by the Pharmacy Manager until those requirements are complete. Where permitted by law and supported by training and certification, Technicians may also provide health services such as immunizations and point-of-care testing or staff offsite clinics. Technician immunizers must meet additional licensure and training requirements and may prepare and administer vaccines, educate patients, refer vaccination questions to the Pharmacist-on-duty, monitor and report adverse reactions, document patient information, and manage vaccine supplies.

This is a part-time position with 20 anticipated weekly hours. The typical pay range is $16.50–$25.00 per hour; the actual offer depends on factors including 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.
