Job Description

PHARMACY MANAGER – SALMON ARM, BRITISH COLUMBIA

$75–$80/hour | Signing Bonus up to $15,000 | Relocation Assistance up to $10,000

MAKE THIS PHARMACY YOUR OWN

Askew’s Foods is looking for a pharmacist who wants more than a management title.

This is an opportunity to lead an established community pharmacy in Salmon Arm, British Columbia, while having the freedom to shape its future, develop your own ideas and practise pharmacy in a way that reflects your professional interests and strengths.

If you are currently practising elsewhere in Canada and have considered making a move to BC, we would like to hear from you.

Start Date: As soon as possible

WHY ASKEW’S?

• Excellent compensation: $75–$80/hour based on experience
• Signing bonus: Up to $15,000
• Relocation assistance: Up to $10,000 for eligible candidates
• Expected hours: 30–40 hours per week
• Benefits and pension
• Professional autonomy: Bring your ideas and help determine the direction of the pharmacy
• A real opportunity to make a difference: Build on an established patient base and strong community relationships
• Local ownership: Work for a long-established, locally operated organization where relationships and community matter
• Professional support: Askew’s covers pharmacist licensing and professional liability insurance

A CHANCE TO SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT

The successful candidate will have an opportunity to work alongside the current manager during the transition, becoming familiar with the pharmacy, patients, team and systems before taking on the leadership role.

You will inherit an established pharmacy—not a blank slate—but you will have considerable opportunity to decide where it goes next.

Whether your interests are clinical services, workflow, team development, relationships with local healthcare providers or creating an exceptional patient experience, we want you to bring your own ideas.

THE ROLE

The Pharmacy Manager provides professional pharmacy services and leadership for the pharmacy team while overseeing day-to-day operations.

The role includes patient care and counselling, workflow and staffing, regulatory compliance, inventory and business operations, and collaboration with Askew’s store and senior management.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• A pharmacist in good standing and eligible to practise in British Columbia
• An experienced Pharmacy Manager—or an experienced community pharmacist ready to take the next step into leadership
• A patient-focused pharmacist who enjoys building lasting relationships with patients and colleagues
• Someone who values professional judgment, teamwork and the freedom to develop new ideas

WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Askew’s offers an attractive schedule designed to provide a healthy balance between professional responsibility and life outside the pharmacy.

No evenings, Sundays or statutory holiday pharmacy service.

The current schedule is 3 days one week and 4 days the next.

LIVE IN THE SHUSWAP

Salmon Arm offers the combination of a welcoming regional community and exceptional outdoor living.

The Shuswap provides boating, fishing, beaches, hiking, cycling and year-round recreation, while Salmon Arm provides the services and amenities of an established community.

IF YOU’VE EVER THOUGHT, “IF THIS WERE MY PHARMACY, I’D DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY,” THIS MAY BE THE OPPORTUNITY YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, we would welcome a confidential conversation.

Applications will be reviewed as received, and the position will remain open until filled.
