Pharmacist
Job Description
Pharmacist in Charge - Galena, IL
Not just a job - a career with an independent pharmacy that's been doing this right for over a century.
We're looking for a motivated, team-oriented Pharmacist to join a well-established independent pharmacy in Galena, IL, full or part time. This is a Pharmacist in Charge role, so beyond day-to-day dispensing, you'll be the one holding overall responsibility for the pharmacy's operations - supervising and supporting staff, keeping inventory and controlled substance records in order, and making sure everything runs in full compliance with state and federal pharmacy law.
You'll be a key point of contact for patients too - advising on prescription and OTC medications, answering questions, and helping people make informed decisions about their health. It's hands-on, patient-facing pharmacy work, not just paperwork and sign-offs.
About the company:
This is a family-owned drug store chain with roots going back to 1904, making it one of the oldest continuously operating family pharmacy chains in the country. Independent and community-focused, it offers a genuinely different way to practice pharmacy compared to the large national chains - more autonomy, closer relationships with patients, and a real say in how the pharmacy is run.
What's on offer:
- Competitive salary
- Comprehensive benefits package
- A collaborative, positive team environment
- The independence and responsibility of a PIC role, without the bureaucracy of a big-box chain
If you're a licensed pharmacist looking for a role with more ownership and a closer connection to patients and community, this could be a great fit.
