About You
Do you have a strong attention to detail, want to contribute to improving healthcare access for Australians, and want to work as part of a values driven organisation? Full training will be provided for this exciting role.
We are Growing!
We continue to respond to a generational increase in demand and deliver on the important role APC has in assessing overseas pharmacists wishing to migrate to Australia.
Opportunity - Verifications Officer
One of our critical services is assessing pharmacists' skills and knowledge through qualification and verification checks and administering exams. By ensuring our pharmacists in Australia are work-ready, we ensure the integrity and protection of public health.
You will work as part of a small team to undertake eligibility and skills verification checks for overseas-trained pharmacists wishing to migrate and work in Australia. You will also play a role in continuing to advance and improve our systems, operations and processes. All training will be provided for the successful candidates.
Critically, we need detail-focused people who can complete the essential work of eligibility checks. You will work closely with our Candidate Relationship Team to respond to candidate queries and provide necessary guidance to resolve candidate issues. Previous experience in a regulatory environment may help but is not necessary if you possess the required attributes.
About APC
The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) is an independent not-for-profit company, responsible for accreditation of pharmacy education and training, under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS).
With 40 years of history and experience, we set and maintain the standards of pharmacy education to ensure that pharmacists who practise in Australia deliver safe and effective health care. This includes assessing overseas trained pharmacists, accrediting university programs and delivering exams to people wanting to become registered pharmacists in Australia.
We are based in the Canberra Airport Business Park complex, in a modern and well-appointed office complex, with cafes, shopping and easy access. We provide full FBT benefits as a PBI entity, welfare allowance and free onsite car parking. We also offer flexible working arrangements, including a 60/40 hybrid work model that balances office and work from home opportunities once fully trained.
We pride ourselves as an equal opportunity employer that embraces and values diversity and inclusion. We strongly encourage people of all abilities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds to apply, particularly people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, and those who may experience diversity or disability related barriers in securing employment. If you have any support or access requirements, we encourage you to advise us at time of application.
