Are you an experienced Pharmacy Assistant looking for a long-term career outside of retail? One of our pharmacy clients in Winnipeg is hiring for full-time, permanent positions due to growth! This is an excellent chance to join a professional pharmacy focused on patient care, in a specialty setting.

This role offers stable Monday-Friday daytime shifts (either 8:30 - 4:30 or 9:00 - 5:00), scheduled in advance.

You'll work in a bright, modern, and supportive office style environment, with opportunities for internal promotion and career growth within a large team.

To be set-up for success, you should have a minimum of one year of experience supporting mid-to-high volume prescription entry (including independently processing insurance claims / billing and adjudication for private and public payors - your skill level will be evaluated), and patient service in a fast-paced setting. Ideally, we are seeking talent with 2+ years' experience with insurance claim management to be able to solve related problems quickly, contributing to patient service excellence.

Your customer service and professional telephone manner will be utilized to support incoming and outgoing patient calls. Pairing this with your proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook and your multi-tasking skills will set you up for success!

Kroll proficiency is preferred but we are open to qualified assistants with other pharmacy software proficiency.

Transitioning from Hourly Pay to Salary? Not sure how to compare the two? We can help - Let’s do an apples-to-apples comparison:

If you're used to calculating your earnings by the hour, looking at a salary can feel different. Based on a standard 1,950-paid hours worked each year (i.e. 40-hour scheduled week minus a 0.5-hour unpaid lunch each shift), here is how the real math stacks up:

Your Current Baseline: An hourly rate of $23/hr = approx. $44,850/year before deductions (if your current rate of pay is different, use your current rate to do this calculation).

This Salaried Role: Likely to land in the range of $50,000 – $55,000/year (based on relevant experience) = approx. $25.64 – $28.20/hr (based on paid working hours), before deductions.

Income Stability & Peace of Mind: Being paid on a salaried basis provides you with a steady, stable, and predictable income every single pay period. If your schedule requires you to work additional hours beyond a scheduled 40 hours per week, please know that those hours will always be managed professionally and in accordance with Employment Standards.

But the math doesn't stop there. Consider the Total Rewards:

Hourly Reality: If you are an hourly employee and you stay home sick or take a wellness day, you may lose a day's pay (provincial ESA-dependent).

✅ Salaried Reality: You receive dedicated paid sick days and wellness days so your income never takes a hit when you need to rest or recharge.

➕ The Perks: This role includes full health benefits, an RRSP program, stock options, and annual bonus potential - extra compensation that hourly rates/roles may not include.

If you're looking for better stability, higher earning potential, and a true step forward in your career, apply today. We’ll gladly map out the whole package so you can see exactly how this move benefits you!

What else is in it for you?

Secure & Permanent: A permanent position in a thriving pharmacy.

No Retail Pressure: This location is closed to walk-in patients. Patient service occurs using telecommunication for the most part (though some patients may come to reception to pick up medications).

Benefits from Day One: Full benefits package starting from day one, with the ability to choose your level of coverage at the start of your employment.

Annual Bonus Potential: Prorated based on your start date - we are happy to provide more details about this annual incentive!

Strong Paid Time Off: 3 weeks of vacation per calendar year (prorated based on start date) + wellness days + paid and unpaid sick days. You'll be very well supported to achieve a great work/life balance!

Retirement Program: Available from day one with attractive matching from the employer!

Stock Purchase Program: Available for all FTE staff, adding additional value for your future in return for your contributions.

Annual Merit Program: A formal salary review process is in place.

Career Growth: Strong career growth opportunities within a highly respected organization.

Meaningful Work: A chance to support high-quality patient care.

Excellent Environment: A modern facility with clear workflows, dedicated workstations, and great leadership.

Please note: The posted salary range is provided as our estimate only, based on a wide range of candidate experience. If you are highly experienced in insurance reimbursement and related patient support (5+ years of experience) and you are seeking something different, apply and we can chat further!
