    About Us

    Park Ridge Pharmacy is an independent, family-owned pharmacy that has served the Park Ridge community for years. We know our patients by name, not by prescription number, and we’re looking for someone who wants that same kind of hands-on, neighborly pharmacy experience — not a big-box counter job.

    Job Summary

    We’re looking for a part-time Pharmacy Technician who takes pride in getting the details right and treats every customer like a neighbor, because they usually are one. You’ll be the person patients see most: receiving and checking prescriptions, running insurance eligibility and billing, filling and labeling under the pharmacist’s supervision, managing inventory, and helping out anywhere the store needs a hand that day. We’re a small, tight-knit team, so this isn’t a role where you disappear into one task — you’ll wear a few hats and get to know the regulars. The schedule is flexible and varies week to week, so we need someone whose availability can flex with us.

    Responsibilities

    Receive electronic, written, and faxed prescriptions from patients and doctor’s offices, verify the information is accurate, and input it into our pharmacy management system (Prime Rx / PioneerRx) as needed

    Run eligibility checks for insurance

    Bill insurance and handle insurance rejections

    Pull, count, fill, label, and prepare prescriptions under the supervision of the pharmacist

    Maintain proper storage and inventory of all medications in the pharmacy

    Receive incoming inventory, verify accuracy, log it within the system, and put it away as needed

    Maintain proper pharmacy records, including patient profiles, inventory logs, and more

    Accept payment for prescriptions and small transactions

    Answer phones and handle customer inquiries, referring to the pharmacist as needed

    Pitch in on general store activity as needed, including front-end customer service and light stocking/merchandising

    Qualifications

    Active pharmacy technician registration/license in New Jersey

    National certification Ex. PTCB is a plus

    Minimum 2 years of experience as a pharmacy technician in a retail pharmacy setting

    Experience with Prime Rx and/or PioneerRx pharmacy management software preferred

    Excellent customer service and communication skills, with a genuine interest in building relationships with regular patients

    Strong organizational skills and close attention to detail

    The ability to multitask and shift priorities as needed in a small, fast-moving team

    Availability to work a flexible schedule that may vary week to week

    Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs (inventory totes/boxes)

    Familiarity with pharmacy and medical terminology desired
