About the Organisation

Kimberley Pharmacy Services have been proudly serving the Kimberley region across three outlets, in Broome, Derby and Fitzroy Valley, for several years. With a strong community focus, Kimberley Pharmacy Services provides pharmacy services to individuals and families as well as local hospital and Aboriginal Medical Service.

About the Derby Region

The Shire of Derby/West Kimberley, 2000km north of Perth, offers its residents a unique and unparalleled way of life. On the doorstep are some truly stunning and untouched wilderness like the famed Buccaneer Archipelago, National Parks and gorges, the mighty Fitzroy River and the Gibb River Road. These pristine environments offer the opportunity to get out camping, fishing and four-wheel driving and many are just an hour away.

Derby remains a supply point for an important part of the Kimberley's pastoral, mining, oil and tourist industries and is the western terminus of the scenic Gibb River Road, which traverses some of the Kimberley's most spectacular cliff, river and gorge country.

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity is available for a motivated Pharmacist to join Kimberley Pharmacy Services's friendly team at their outlet in Derby, WA.

Reporting to the Directors of the Pharmacy, this position will be primarily responsible for dispensing medicines to customers on a walk-in basis as well as hospital patients and overseeing the Pharmacy assistants.

More specifically your duties will include (but not be limited to):

  • Dispensing medicines to walk-in customers, as well as to the local hospital and nursing home;
  • Liaising with and providing services to the local Aboriginal Health Service;

  • Controlling pharmacy stocks, including managing and re-ordering inventory;

As Derby is a one pharmacy town, the motivation to provide exceptional service to customers will be crucial to your success in this role. You'll also have a collaborative approach and be ready to work closely with the Directors of Pharmacy to ensure excellent service provision for the Derby area.
