Staff Testimonials
Working for Pickfords Pharmacy is challenging but also rewarding. I am lucky to work in a lovely, welcoming, and caring environment. No two days are the same, especially when the role requires me to organise staff. I feel I have the right support, and I know I can speak to my line manager at any time. I have made lifelong friendships and Pickfords Pharmacy really does have a family feel.
I love working at Pickford's Pharmacy as it gives me the chance to allow me to actually do my job! I am supported all the way from head office to branch level, it’s like one big family. Feedback is always welcomed and valued and I feel like I make a contribution to the business as a whole. Ultimately the customer is at the center of everything we do and that’s exactly why I signed up to being a pharmacist
I have worked for the company for over two months and have found the management very supportive and helpful while I adapted into the business. As this is a new role and industry for me, I found the hands-on training was adequate and beneficial to highlight what was required from me. Being part-time suits my work-life balance and allows job sharing to be provided throughout the many drivers. At times it can be fast paced but this challenges me while learning my way around the Doncaster borough. You can see how the delivery service provides an effective way for those unable to leave the house to receive their medication promptly.
