Job Description

Pharmacist

Our pharmacies are open Monday through Friday 8:30am – 5:00pm (no weekends, nights, or major holidays)

Location available: Morristown, TN, In-Person (full-time)

Who We Are

River Valley Health is a comprehensive Federally Qualified Health Center caring for over 70,000 patients across 13 counties in Tennessee. We provide integrated primary medical, behavioral, dental, optometry, and clinical pharmacy services through our nationally recognized integrated model of care.

We are committed to serving our mission to care for all, regardless of ability to pay, through innovation, excellence, and teamwork. River Valley Health has been in the pharmacy business for 19 years and currently operates five pharmacies.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Will be equipped to assist the corporate pharmacy leadership team in the project management of opening a new pharmacy, which will include things such as a Board of Pharmacy inspection of the site, setting up the pharmacy software, ordering and stocking the initial inventory, stocking supplies, and setting up pharmacy shelving.
  • Will be adept at building the relationships necessary to grow a new pharmacy business. Given that this will be a pharmacy within a clinic, this involves building relationships with both patients and clinic personnel, including medical providers and nursing staff.
  • Will be a self-starter who requires minimal supervision.
  • Will have experience with, or the clinical confidence necessary to be trained in, Medication Therapy Management (MTM) services as a significant amount of time will be spent providing MTM services during the time waiting for the pharmacy to open.
  • Must be detail oriented and be prepared to assist the corporate pharmacy leadership team with tracking the completion of various steps in the process of opening the pharmacy.
  • Will have a strong foundation in pharmacy business metrics, especially as it relates to how these metrics should change over time in a new pharmacy that is growing.

Qualifications

  • Must be a licensed pharmacist in good standing in the State of Tennessee at the time of hiring.
  • Experience with the federal 340B program is preferred but not required.
  • MTM experience, or the ability to quickly learn how to provide MTM services, is required.
  • Must be available to travel to and stay in Knoxville for one week for training. River Valley Health will cover the cost of this.

Why Join Us

  • Be part of a nonprofit organization focused on community health that values your work/life balance.
  • Work with a dedicated team of professionals.
  • Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including competitive PTO package.
