Pharmaceutical Technologist (Pharm Tech) – 10 Positions

Role Overview

This position sits at the frontline of a busy pharmacy along Thika Road, where you are the last check between a prescriber's instructions and the medicine a patient actually takes home. Day to day you review orders, dispense accurately, explain how each product should be used, and keep the shelves, records, and cold storage in a state that would satisfy any inspector. Because ten openings are being filled at once, the employer is building a team that can hold clinical standards steady across rotating shifts without letting stock or paperwork slip.

Key Responsibilities

• Screen every incoming prescription for dose, frequency, route, and therapeutic suitability before anything is handed over, and raise concerns with the prescriber when something does not add up.
• Dispense prescription and over-the-counter medicines with precise written and verbal directions covering dosage, timing, and the side effects a patient should watch for.
• Counsel patients on storing medicines correctly at home, keeping to their dosing schedule, and knowing when to return for follow-up care.
• Track stock levels daily, monitor batch numbers and expiry dates, and rotate supplies so older stock leaves the shelf before newer deliveries.
• Keep the dispensing area, cabinets, and refrigeration units clean, secured, and within the temperature range that sensitive products require.
• Log incoming deliveries against their paperwork, carry out periodic physical counts, and flag reorder needs early enough to prevent shelves running empty.
• Apply Pharmacy and Poisons Board rules at every stage of dispensing, and keep the dangerous drugs register, dispensing logs, and patient records complete and up to date.
• Take part in internal audits and external inspections, supplying records and explaining procedures to visiting health authorities.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Diploma in Pharmaceutical Technology from a recognised training institution.
• Active registration with the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, supported by a current valid practising licence.
• A minimum of two years of progressive dispensing experience in a hospital or retail pharmacy setting, with widening responsibility over that period.
• Solid grounding in pharmacology, therapeutics, medical terminology, and the review checks that sit behind safe dispensing.
• Attention to detail sharp enough to catch dosing and drug-selection errors before they reach a patient.
• Strong listening and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to explain clinical information clearly to people who may be anxious or unfamiliar with medical language.
• Willingness to work shifts within a full-time healthcare facility roster.

What We Offer / Why Join

This is a full-time, shift-based role based along Thika Road, offered at a gross monthly remuneration of KSh 50,000. Ten positions are open, so successful candidates join a sizeable intake working under Pharmacy and Poisons Board standards in a facility where accurate dispensing and clean record-keeping are treated as core duties rather than afterthoughts.
