You will be responsible for building your team, including recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding new Techs, and conducting regular skills validations for the entire Tech team. In addition, you will partner with your Pharmacy Manager to provide consistent and intentional operational oversight, including scheduling outcomes, inventory outcomes, service outcomes, and patient care outcomes through effective goal setting, communication, and performance management. To prepare you for success in this role, you will enroll in a paid, 50-hour leadership training course, to be completed in 4-6 weeks. In addition, you will be enrolled in a 6-month ongoing development program to further build your leadership skills. The Tech Team Leader role will provide you with valuable training and experience that may lead to additional career growth within the store or field leadership, and potentially within the greater CVS Health Enterprise. All Pharmacy Technicians at CVS Health are required to complete an extensive CVS Pharmacy Technician Training Program as well as satisfy all registration, licensing, and certification requirements according to their State’s Board of Pharmacy guidelines. Pharmacy Technician duties will be restricted by the manager at first until the Pharmacy Technician completes all necessary requirements.
