Pharmacy driver

I am going to apply for a job as pharmacy driver, I know the basics like picking prescriptions up from doctors surgeries and delivery to customers but has anyone done this job?

I know I'll have to have my car in good condition to drive, also have business class insurance. But will I get mileage allowance? Not advertised in the vacancy.

I just did a quick google and found this, which you may have seen.

Role and Responsibilities:

· To provide a delivery service of medication to patients to ensure they receive the correct medication on time.
· To comply fully with SOPs and service level agreements in order to ensure patient safety.
· To keep accurate records of mileage and vehicle maintenance in order to ensure that management information is correct and the vehicle is fit for purpose
· To be proactive in seeking new business opportunities and in promoting the delivery service to maintain and grow profitability.
· To ensure delivery routes are well planned in order to minimise travelling time and cost.
· To work with Senior Drivers and Branch Managers to ensure continuity of service when delivery driver colleagues are absent from work.

Key Experience Knowledge and Skills:

· Experience as a driver
· Strong organisational skills
· First class customer service skills and patient empathy
· Ability to plan effectively, even when under pressure
· Attention to detail, especially in keeping accurate records
· A full valid UK driving license

It's likely you will also require a CRB and I expect they will provide a vehicle for you to do the deliveries, if not I would be very surprised if they did not provide mileage.
