At Icon, You Can
If you love variety, travel, and flexibility in your career, this could be the perfect role for you. In this role you'll have the unique opportunity to visit and work in multiple locations within our network, gaining experience in diverse environments and specialties. This is a chance to combine your career with adventure, stepping into a role that offers something new every day
This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to gain highly sought after hospital pharmacy experience. But don't just take our word for it. Here's just some of the wonderful things our current Pharmacist had to say about her experience in this role:
"One of the main things that I love about being a reliever pharmacist, is that it allows me to combine my love of travel, with my passion for pharmacy and truly making a meaningful difference in patients' lives. I enjoy the variety of working with different teams in different locations, it keeps things fresh and exciting – no two days are the same. Working as a reliever pharmacist has exposed me to many different clinical areas in hospital pharmacy, where I've developed the type of knowledge and experience that I would not have gained otherwise."
– Jodie Wilson, Pharmacist for the Brisbane Area.
