Pharmacist

Before I start. I split this ad into two parts. The first bit is me Marcus telling you what I think, with all my spelling errors, bad grandma, and terrible English. But hey, I am a pharmacist, not a scholler . The second bit is AI telling me what I am saying. Maybe you like my approach? Maybe you like the AI? I have given you the opportunity to experience both. Tell me what you think?

​

Hello Gorgeous !!!

​

Turn your dreams into a reality and Join Our Team as a Pharmacist in the heart of the beautiful Kauri Coast right here in Dargaville

​

First off, you can expect your pay to be around 30% better than what you get in the big bad city. That means you are going to get to your life goal a lot faster- maybe you want a better house, a nicer car, or you want to buy that coach bag, vintage star wars hansolo character, buy a big sad looking cuddly dog that's your best friend, or motorbike you have always wanted. Maybe one of your babes is really demanding and expensive and you need a bit more cash to satisfy her, or you are an independent woman who doesn't need a man to buy her things, I can do it on my own thank you very much.

​

Well, enough with the wishing, you can make it happen baby

​

Life is cheap up here, what I mean is-its cheap to live i.e. not cheap as in someone is going to smoke you like the movies . The people are salt of the earth , they are very understanding of the demands of pharmacy and give you the room you need to do your job properly. Manners are still alive and well, people want to make sure you feel at home and welcome. The prescribers are a good bunch of people and we all see the value in each other. The team is a great team. I have made very many meaningful kindred spirits in my Pharmacist Journey. Many of our team have been with us since day one. Its been nice seeing our team members have kids and even those kids are having kids now. Call me old, but I love seeing our team grow and our community still has the same good vibes and charm as it used to have when I first found godzone right here in Dargaville

​

I even found my lovely wife here (I'm pretty blessed lucky coz when I was little I was so ugly my folks had to tie a bone around my neck just so the dog would play with me). But seriously folks, I now have a family, a house with a sea view, and I live in a really nice community at Baylys Beach. God has been good to me by blessing this place on me. We don't have a dog though, but the neighbor does and our lovely son brings it over to play with, feeding it all the healthy stuff his mum tries to make him eat, so its kind of like having a dog- it does poo on our lawn too, so basically its our dog but we just haven't told our neighbor yet

​

But where do you fit in you may ask? Well, it would be nice to have another soul helping us navigate pharmacy in this small town. There is plenty to do as you can imagine. You will not be bored here and I am sure you will find fulfillment here like I have. We are flexible with working days and hours and holidays so you do not have to put your life on hold whilst you work your butt off.

​

Ok here is my blurb below, get back to me and let me know if we can turn your dream into a reality.

​

Small towns like Dargaville is where you find out who you are, what you like and you may even find your future sweetheart like I did

​

We are on the lookout for an accurate and efficient pharmacist to become a valued member of our busy team in the sunny north.

​

Our modern pharmacy, nestled in the charming town of Dargaville, boasts a fantastic location surrounded by stunning outdoor attractions. Enjoy the mighty Wairoa River, the renowned Baylys Beach for surfing, swimming, fishing, and beachcombing along New Zealand's longest drivable stretch of beach. Enjoy horse riding or camping and four wheel driving along Ripiro beach. Discover the majestic Tane Mahuta, swim in the tropical Kai Iwi Lakes, mountain bike through lush forests, and explore the historical wonders of Hokianga Harbour. If city life calls, Whangarei is just 40 minutes away, and we’re only 2 hours from the Harbour Bridge. I have seen the night waters glow with bioluminescence! i have even seen bioluminescence sand hoppers, there are even tiny wee glow in the dark mushrooms- bet you didnt know that. There is an amazing history and a rich culture, get to talk with some of the elders and you will know this place was made for you before you had even heard of it.

​

For those seeking a quieter, unconventional experience, we have a variety of clubs and societies, including a circus school, Dargaville little theatre and bridge club!-- no they dont make bridges, its a game that heaps of old people play, so you will feel like the youngest one there even if you are half a century old.

​

Our warm and welcoming team is diverse, and we pride ourselves on fostering meaningful connections with our friendly and relaxed community of patients and customers. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact on their lives.

​

Our pharmacy provides a range of services, including vaccinations, clinical checking at our hospital, compliance packaging—both robotic and hand-packed. We utilize a dispensing robot for common medicines and a checking Vizen robot for sachet packs, along with all the services you would expect from a rural pharmacy. That said, maybe you just want to check scripts and go home and pat your dog. Thats ok, we understand, if thats what you want there is a place for you

​

As owners, Paul and I have passionately operated this pharmacy for the past two decades, and we eagerly await the opportunity for you to join our team.

​

We offer an attractive salary that exceeds city standards, assistance with initial accommodation needs, and support to help you get acquainted with the community and all it has to offer.

​

What are you waiting for? Reach out today! Dont stand around like a stunned mullet (actually I forgot to mention you can catch those too if you want ), hurry up and contact us please, don't miss out

​

Warm regards,

​

Marcus and Paul
