What the work may be like
Clicks is South Africa's largest pharmacy employer — with 900+ pharmacies in the country, it is virtually impossible to build a pharmacy career without encountering Clicks. The pharmacy learnership programmes are the industry benchmark, and the combination of retail and clinical work (dispensing, patient counselling, and in-store clinic services) creates a genuinely diverse professional environment.
The nationwide presence means careers are genuinely location-flexible, and the management and regional pharmacy pathways are well-structured. The customer-facing retail environment keeps the day-to-day work varied and engaged, and staff discounts on health and beauty products are a valued daily benefit.
Hiring and application process
Candidates interested in roles at Clicks Group should apply directly through the company’s careers portal or the jobs platform, submitting a CV and proof of qualifications. Applications for pharmacy assistants require a Matric certificate while pharmacist positions demand a BPharm degree and current registration with the South African Pharmacy Council.
Shortlisted applicants typically complete online psychometric assessments, followed by one or two rounds of interviews and reference checks, with the full process from application to offer averaging six to eight weeks. Prepare by reviewing Clicks’ retail pharmacy operations and demonstrating customer-service experience relevant to a high-volume store environment.
