Pharmacy Lead | Preston | £45,000 - £65,000 P/Y 

The Opportunity

Your World is currently supporting a private online pharmacy client with the hiring of a Pharmacy Lead on a full time contract basis.

You will own the pharmacy operation end to end — dispensing, checking, and fulfilment — alongside accountability for the governance, compliance, and people infrastructure that underpins it. This is a hands-on operational leadership role. You will be on the floor, running the day-to-day, and ensuring the operation performs to the highest standard. Stepping back from the detail is something you will earn over time by building the right team and systems around you — it is not a given from day one. You will be working within a modern, technology-first environment. We run our own proprietary order management and prescribing systems, with deep API integrations across our client base. You will need to get to grips with our systems quickly and be comfortable operating in a digital-first way. This is not a role for someone who thinks in terms of traditional pharmacy workflows.

Professional background:

• Registered Pharmacist or Accuracy Checking Technician (ACT) — GPhC registered
• Candidates from other backgrounds will be considered where direct, relevant high-volume operational and leadership experience is clearly demonstrated
• Proven experience leading or operating within a high-volume dispensary and fulfilment operation - 20,000+ items per month minimum.
• Strong people leadership - building, managing, and developing a team under sustained pressure.
• Operational instinct -throughput management, bottleneck resolution, capacity planning.
• Modern, digital-first mindset - comfortable with technology, proprietary systems, and fast moving operational environments.
• Governance and compliance awareness - able to support regulatory standards, contribute to incident management, and help represent the operation to auditors and regulators alongside senior clinical leadership.

Terms and Benefits

• Salary: £45,000–£65,000 per annum depending on experience

• Contract: Permanent, full time

• Annual leave: 31 days inclusive of bank holidays

• Additional leave: half a day per year of service, up to two additional days
