What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pharmacy Technician position at Pharmacy Home Care of East Tennessee?
About us
Pharmacy Home Care of East is a locally owned, closed-door long-term care pharmacy serving assisted living facilities, a county jail, and homebound patients. The pharmacy prepares medications using automated packaging equipment and maintains electronic medication records. The Pharmacy Technician supports accurate prescription processing, medication record coordination, and courteous service to patients and healthcare providers. We are seeking an efficient, detail-oriented individual to join our pharmacy team. While a national pharmacy technician certification (CPhT) is preferred, it is not required. However, because this is a high-volume, closed-door environment, prior experience working in a pharmacy is required. The ideal candidate already understands pharmacy workflows, can accurately read prescriptions, and is ready to transition away from retail customer service into a focused, production-based role. This full-time role operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with weekends closed. Closed all major holidays.
