Bring Your Pharmacy Career Home to Aotearoa – Join the Woolworths Pharmacy Team

At Woolworths Pharmacy, we are proud to support local communities across Aotearoa with a growing network of over 45 pharmacies. We come together to provide convenience, clinical excellence, and accessible healthcare to three million New Zealanders every single week.

Whether you are a registered Pharmacist looking to return home to New Zealand, or an international practitioner seeking a fresh lifestyle change in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, we offer a supportive, structured, and highly rewarding environment where you can truly make a meaningful difference.

Regional Opportunities & Lifestyle

While we have roles across the country, we have a particular focus on building healthy regional communities. Working in regional New Zealand offers a relaxed lifestyle, a lower cost of living, close-knit communities, and access to the spectacular Kiwi outdoors.

What you'll do

Reporting to the Pharmacy Manager, you will work at the heart of our community-focused pharmacy business. You will take accountability for:

  • Delivering professional clinical services that support the health and wellbeing of our local communities.
  • Dispensing medicines accurately while maintaining high standards of clinical safety.
  • Providing expert advice and answering patient queries with empathy and professionalism.
  • Reviewing stock levels and delivering high merchandising standards to keep our pharmacies running smoothly.
  • Fostering a welcoming environment that puts our customers first.

What you'll bring

To thrive in our team, you will be a customer-centric practitioner who loves to leverage their clinical knowledge for the benefit of others.

Key Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor of Pharmacy (or an equivalent qualification recognised by the Pharmacy Council of New Zealand).
  • Current Annual Practising Certificate (APC) and Professional Indemnity Insurance (PDA), or eligibility to obtain these.
  • Valid right to work in New Zealand (or eligibility for visa sponsorship—see below! )

International & Overseas Qualified Candidates:

We warmly welcome applications from pharmacists registered in reciprocal REQR countries (Australia, UK, Ireland, Canada, and the USA). If you are coming from a non-REQR country , we can support you in navigating the Pharmacy Council knowledge assessments and clinical registration pathways.

What you'll experience (Our EVP & Relocation Benefits)

We offer a highly competitive total reward package designed to support your career growth and ease your transition to New Zealand.
