Pharmacy Clerk Certified – Costco – Winnipeg, MB

Costco’s Winnipeg location at 1499 Regent Avenue West is looking for a Pharmacy Clerk Certified to join their pharmacy team. This role is ideal for someone with a solid foundation in pharmacy practice who enjoys working directly with patients and supporting licensed pharmacists in a busy, member-focused environment.

Day to day, you’ll be assisting with prescription dispensing, managing patient records, processing transactions at the counter, and keeping the pharmacy stocked and organized. It’s a role that blends patient care, administrative work, and hands-on pharmacy support.

About the Role: Pharmacy Clerk Certified

As a Pharmacy Clerk Certified at Costco Winnipeg, you’ll work under the direct supervision of a licensed pharmacist to help fill and dispense prescriptions in compliance with provincial regulations. You’ll be the first point of contact for patients at the counter — receiving prescriptions, retrieving filled orders, and handling register transactions including cash, cheque, credit, and debit. Your ability to provide prompt and courteous patient service will be essential to the team’s success.

Beyond patient-facing duties, you’ll play a key role in inventory management — ordering, receiving, tagging, and stocking both prescription drugs and over-the-counter merchandise. You’ll also handle third-party insurance claims, process invoices, and maintain accurate accounting entries using the pharmacy’s computerized system. Maintaining patient confidentiality and adhering to safety and security procedures are fundamental expectations of this position.
