Pharmacy Technician Compounding - Accredo

As a Compounding Pharmacy Technician, you will be working on a specialized team focused on compounding medications for critically ill patients.

This role is very detail-oriented, requires specialized training (provided in-house) and has significant physical requirements.

You'll spend most of your day working inside a controlled environment (clean room suite) performing sterile compounding activities and maintenance of the suite (including daily cleaning/disinfecting of the rooms, furniture, and equipment).

Additional responsibilities include processing prescription orders, documenting compounding records, unpacking/restocking/storing supplies, performing cycle counts, sanitizing materials for use inside the clean room, performing non-sterile compounding, packing orders, cleaning the prep area, completing annual re-training/competency assessments, and assisting our general pharmacy fulfillment department when necessary.

Work Schedule: Hourly role, 40-hours per week.

10 hour shifts Monday-Thursday 6AM-5PM with 1 hour provided for lunch (unpaid).

Schedule is subject to change due to business needs.

NOTE: Compounding operations will eventually include Fridays, requiring a change in scheduled shifts and/or scheduled start/end times (may be rotation of four 10 hour shifts and/or five 8 hour shifts) depending on business need.

This role is worksite dependent and can only be performed on-site.

NOTE: Applicants MUST have a current, active Arizona pharmacy technician license in good standing.
