Pharmacy Operations Manager Cambridgeshire

Pharmacy Area Manager Job Cambridgeshire

Full-Time | Permanent | £37,500 to £40,000 | Independent Pharmacy Group

Role Summary

Flame Health Pharmacy is recruiting for a Pharmacy Operations Manager to support a progressive independent pharmacy group across the Cambridge and central Cambridgeshire area.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced ACT, senior pharmacy dispenser, non-pharmacy manager, or healthcare operations professional ready to step into a wider multi-site leadership role.

Reporting to the owner, you will support six community pharmacies across a regional territory, helping improve operational performance, service delivery, compliance, team support, and commercial consistency.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, mobile role offering variety, responsibility, and genuine progression potential.

The group is service-led, with a strong focus on NHS Pharmacy First, private healthcare services, patient access, and high-quality community pharmacy care. You will work closely with pharmacy teams and senior stakeholders to help each site run safely, efficiently, and consistently.

The role would suit someone who enjoys problem-solving, supporting people, improving standards, and helping an independent pharmacy business continue to develop.

Pharmacy Services

Training can be provided where required, making this a strong opportunity for someone looking to broaden their service knowledge and develop within a forward-thinking independent pharmacy group.

Candidate Requirements

The successful candidate should have strong management experience within pharmacy, healthcare, retail healthcare, or a similar operational environment.

This role would be particularly well-suited to an experienced ACT looking to take the next step, or a pharmacy dispenser with management experience who is ready to move into a broader operations role.
