Pharmacist - part time, retail community pharmacy

Part-Time Pharmacist

Volunteer Pharmacy is seeking an experienced, friendly, and dependable Part-Time Pharmacist to join our team.

We are an independent community pharmacy that values excellent patient care, teamwork, accuracy, efficiency, and genuinely good customer service. We are looking for a pharmacist who is comfortable in a busy retail pharmacy environment and who takes pride in providing thoughtful, professional care to patients.

Responsibilities

The Part-Time Pharmacist will be responsible for:

• Accurately reviewing, verifying, and dispensing prescriptions in accordance with pharmacy policies, standard operating procedures, and all applicable state and federal laws.
• Providing patient counseling on prescription medications, over-the-counter products, proper medication use, potential interactions, and other medication-related questions.
• Administering vaccinations and maintaining all required immunization training and current CPR certification.
• Ensuring compliance with HIPAA, controlled substance regulations, recordkeeping requirements, and other applicable pharmacy laws and regulations.
• Reviewing prescriptions for appropriateness, accuracy, interactions, allergies, contraindications, and potential medication-related concerns.
• Troubleshooting third-party insurance claims, rejected prescriptions, prior authorization issues, and other prescription-processing problems.
• Providing guidance and supervision to pharmacy technicians and support staff while helping maintain an efficient workflow.
• Delivering excellent customer service and professionally resolving patient questions, concerns, or problems.
• Following pharmacy policies related to controlled substances, inventory management, loss prevention, and medication security.
• Assisting with OTC recommendations, immunization outreach, and other pharmacy services.
• Helping maintain a clean, organized, professional, and patient-focused pharmacy environment.
• Working collaboratively with pharmacists, technicians, prescribers, patients, and other members of the healthcare team.

Qualifications

Applicants must:

• Hold an active pharmacist license in the State of Tennessee and be in good standing.
• Have experience working in a retail/community pharmacy setting.
• Be comfortable administering vaccinations.
• Maintain current CPR certification and all required pharmacist credentials.
• Have strong communication, customer-service, and problem-solving skills.
• Be dependable, organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a busy pharmacy environment.
• Be comfortable supervising pharmacy technicians and providing direction when needed.
• Demonstrate sound professional judgment and a strong commitment to patient safety.

Experience in an independent pharmacy or compounding pharmacy is a plus, but not required.

What We’re Looking For

We are especially interested in someone who is friendly, approachable, efficient, and willing to be an active part of the pharmacy team. Our pharmacists don’t simply verify prescriptions—they help manage workflow, answer phones when needed, assist patients, support technicians, solve problems, and help keep the pharmacy running smoothly.

We value pharmacists who notice what needs to be done and step in to help rather than waiting to be asked.

Schedule: Part-time; specific days and hours will be discussed during the interview process.

Qualified applicants are encouraged to apply with a current résumé and information regarding their availability.
