Description

Play an important role in supporting safe, efficient, and compassionate medication services for oncology patients. We are seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Pharmacy Retail Technician to support our clinic's pharmacy operations by assisting with prescription processing, inventory management, and patient service. This role serves as a key connection between pharmacists, clinical teams, and patients, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and exceptional service in a fast-paced private practice environment. The ideal candidate is customer-focused, organized, and committed to supporting high-quality patient care.

Highlands Oncology began in 1996 with three physicians and a desire to change the face of oncology care in our community. Dr. Malcolm Hayward, Dr. Dan Bradford, and Dr. Thad Beck knew that patients do better at home, in the community where they live and work, and where their support system is already in place. In furthering that goal, Highlands has grown with the region from a single location 26 years ago, to 6 locations in Northwest and Northcentral Arkansas today employing more than 850 diverse team members.

As Northwest Arkansas continues to grow, so must the services and providers available in the region. Highlands Oncology is committed to remaining on the cutting edge to ensure our community has access to the very best cancer care. What we have is something quite unique right here in our own backyard with a caring multidisciplinary team focused on treating patients like family.

Highlands Pharmacy is hiring an experienced Pharmacy Technician. Experience with IVs preferred, but not required as we will train the right person to be a part of this exceptional team.

Our pharmacies are open Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm and limited hours on Saturday. We are closed on Sunday and all major holidays.

The Pharmacy Technician is responsible for working with and supporting the Pharmacist as part of the patient's care team. This person helps to interpret and prepare all prescriptions in accordance with the prescriber's directions, federal and state regulations, and company policies.
