ROLE SUMMARY

The Stock Clerk is responsible for optimal inventory administration throughout the hospital by being actively involved in the maintenance, movement and the accuracy of stock levels. This individual will apply their understanding of stock and their eye for detail to identify possible discrepancies, balance stock levels against the system and effectively resolve any differences. The Stock Clerk will further be responsible to maintain good working relationships, fulfil work requests and ensure the overall neatness and cleanliness of the Pharmacy.
The Stock Clerk will be required to work in various different areas of the hospital and to multitask effectively based upon periods of peak activity in the business.
