Job Description

Roles and responsibilities of this job

We are seeking a responsible and motivated Assistant Pharmacist to join our team. You are the face of the store and the guardian of safe dispensing. You dispense prescriptions and OTC medicines accurately, counsel customers in plain Nepali, run the POS and stock controls, and follow every storage and compliance rule, from cold chain to controlled substances. This is a junior role by design: you will be trained and coached by the Head Pharmacist, and you will know when to escalate rather than guess.

Key Responsibilities

1. Dispensing and clinical accuracy

Receive and check prescriptions for completeness, legality and doses; verify drug, strength, dose, frequency and duration before dispensing.
Dispense the correct product, label clearly, and double-check high-risk items (insulin, anticoagulants, paediatric doses, controlled and scheduled drugs).
Counsel customers on how to take medicines, side effects, storage and when to see a doctor; refer red-flag symptoms to a doctor or the Head Pharmacist. No diagnosing.
Offer safe generic or private-label alternatives only within the law and with the customer's informed consent.

2. Regulatory and compliance

Work within the Drugs Act 2035 and DDA licence conditions; keep prescription, narcotic/psychotropic and sales registers accurate and up to date.
Keep your Nepal Pharmacy Council registration valid; support DDA and local-government inspections.
Follow Maya SOPs for returns, recalls, expired and damaged stock, and incident reporting.

3. Customer care and loyalty programs

Greet and serve customers warmly and respectfully, including elderly customers and families managing chronic care.
Explain loyalty programs openly and ask for consent before enrolling anyone; never pressure or enrol without consent.
Protect customer privacy: do not discuss prescriptions or health details in public areas; follow Privacy Act 2075 rules.

4. Store operations

Operate the POS accurately: billing, discounts, returns, daily cash close.
Receive stock against purchase orders; check batch numbers, expiry dates and quantities; shelve using FEFO (first-expiry, first-out).
Maintain cold chain: log fridge temperatures twice daily and report excursions at once.
Run cycle counts, report stock-outs and discrepancies (including controlled substances) the same day, and help keep the store clean and well displayed.

5. Learning and teamwork

Complete Maya's induction and training curriculum, and sit competency checks.
Take feedback well; escalate unclear situations to the Head Pharmacist rather than guess.
Cover shifts as rostered; help new staff when asked.
