Polokwane, Limpopo Contract Closes 11 Nov 2026

This job is for a Pharmacist Intern at the Savannah Mall store in Polokwane. Dis-Chem Pharmacies is offering an internship opportunity to help you learn and understand the key parts of working in a pharmacy. The goal is to train you in providing good healthcare through medicine, ensuring patients get the right treatment, and offering excellent customer service.

As a Pharmacist Intern, you will work under the direct supervision of a pharmacist and help with many tasks in the pharmacy. You will assist in selling medicines, especially those that require careful handling like Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 drugs. You will also help prepare and package medicines, check stock levels, and ensure everything is organized correctly. Your role includes reading and filling prescriptions accurately, giving patients clear instructions on how to use their medicine, and answering their questions about health and medicines.

You will also handle tasks like processing medical aid claims, fixing errors on rejected prescriptions, and keeping track of stock. You must follow all Dis-Chem rules, maintain cleanliness, and ensure the pharmacy runs smoothly. Additionally, you will assist customers at the dispensary, self-medication counter, and front shop, and help with stock checks and reporting any issues to the dispensary manager.

To apply for this internship, you must have completed Matric (Grade 12) and hold a Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) degree. You should be comfortable using computers, especially Microsoft Office. It would be a plus if you have worked during your degree, like during holidays, and if you know how to use systems like Unisolve and E-Scripting.

You need to be able to speak and write English well and have good communication skills. You should be detail-oriented, able to solve problems, work well with others, and handle pressure. Being trustworthy, honest, and able to manage your time well are also important. Being familiar with retail or FMCG operations and having knowledge of drug and family planning would be beneficial.

This internship offers a contract position with a salary that matches the market rate. You will gain valuable experience in a real pharmacy setting, learn from experienced pharmacists, and work in a busy retail environment. The job requires you to work retail hours, so you should be ready for shifts that fit the store’s needs. You will also need to follow health and safety rules, wear the correct uniform, and maintain a professional appearance.
