About the Role

Are you ready to kick-start your pharmacy career in a dynamic hospital environment? We have an exciting 12-month fixed-term Pharmacy Intern position available for 2026 at Tauranga Hospital Pharmacy.

Join our dedicated team and gain hands-on experience delivering high-quality pharmacy services across a variety of clinical areas. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and work alongside experienced professionals.

About the Team

Our Pharmacy team has a wide range of experience and expertise and will be supporting you throughout your internship year. You will be exposed to a variety of clinical areas through rotations and shadowing to develop your core pharmacist skillset. Regular clinical case discussions, medicines information and pharmacist education sessions are an integrated part of our team's calendar.
