Pharmacy Clerk Certified – Costco – Vaughan, ON

Costco’s pharmacy team in Vaughan, Ontario is looking for a Certified Pharmacy Clerk to join their Central Fill location at 587 Hanlan Road. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with a licensed pharmacist to keep the pharmacy running smoothly — from filling prescriptions to providing front-counter service for members.

Day to day, you’ll be doing a mix of patient-facing service, prescription processing, inventory management, and administrative tasks using a computerized pharmacy system. If you have pharmacy experience and enjoy a structured, detail-oriented environment, this position is worth a close look.

About the Role: Pharmacy Clerk Certified

As a Certified Pharmacy Clerk at Costco, you’ll assist the pharmacist throughout the prescription fulfilment process — from receiving written prescriptions at the counter to counting, pouring, labelling, and restocking medications under direct supervision. You’ll also handle register transactions, process payments (cash, cheque, credit, and debit), and manage third-party insurance claims and accounting entries using the pharmacy’s computerized system.

Beyond the dispensary, you’ll be responsible for ordering and stocking prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, and pharmacy supplies in line with merchandising standards. Maintaining patient confidentiality, following established safety and security procedures, and keeping the department clean and organized are all part of the role. You’ll also pitch in elsewhere in the warehouse as needed.

Responsibilities

The Certified Pharmacy Clerk role covers a wide range of tasks that keep the pharmacy operating efficiently and members well-served. You’ll be working directly alongside the pharmacist in a fast-paced dispensary setting where accuracy and professionalism are essential at every step.

• Assist patients at the pharmacy counter, receive written prescriptions for the pharmacist, and retrieve filled prescriptions for pickup
• Process register transactions, including cash, cheque, credit, and debit payments, providing prompt and courteous member service
• Answer phones and direct members to product locations throughout the department
• Update patient profiles and enter prescription information into the pharmacy computer system, to the extent permitted by provincial regulations, while preserving patient confidentiality
• Assist with filling prescriptions by retrieving stock bottles, counting, pouring, restocking, labelling, and pricing medications under direct pharmacist supervision
• Prepare third-party insurance claims, process invoices, and make accounting entries using the computerized system
• Order, receive, tag, and stock prescription drugs, supplies, and over-the-counter products in accordance with storage procedures and merchandising plans
• Maintain department cleanliness by sweeping, mopping, spraying, wiping, dusting, and emptying trash

Requirements / Skills
