Pharmacist Manager — with a genuine, financed pathway to ownership

Fords Discount Pharmacy, Newtown — Full-time

Most "manager" pharmacy roles are just a payslip with more responsibility. This one is a genuine path to owning up to 50% of the business financed, so you don't need to bring the capital yourself.

We're an established, QCPP-accredited community pharmacy in the heart of Newtown, backed by an experienced operator who runs a group of healthcare businesses turning over $75M+ across ~200 staff. The owner is deeply invested in this pharmacy's success but doesn't have the day-to-day time to run it. So we're looking for a high-calibre pharmacist to take full operational control, run it brilliantly, and grow it as if it were their own. Because before long, it will be.

The chance

You'll start as Pharmacist Manager with full ownership of the pharmacy's operations, team and growth. After an initial 3–6 month period, if it's the right fit both ways, we'll offer you a staged equity arrangement of up to 50% of the pharmacy, and we'll help finance your buy-in. It's a rare chance to step into pharmacy ownership on the back of your performance rather than your bank balance, with hands-on mentorship from someone who has built and scaled multiple healthcare businesses.

What we're looking for

Sound clinical judgement and solid knowledge of pharmacy legislation and compliance
