At Icon, You Can
If you enjoy variety, travel, and flexibility, this could be the perfect role for you. As a Reliever Pharmacist, you’ll work across multiple sites in our regional NSW network, gaining exposure to diverse teams, clinical environments, and specialties.
  
This is a fantastic opportunity to build highly sought-after hospital pharmacy experience while enjoying a role where no two days are the same.
  
But don’t just take our word for it:
  
“One of the main things that I love about being a reliever pharmacist, is that it allows me to combine my love of travel, with my passion for pharmacy and truly making a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. I enjoy the variety of working with different teams in different locations, it keeps things fresh and exciting – no two days are the same. Working as a reliever pharmacist has exposed me to many different clinical areas in hospital pharmacy, where I’ve developed the type of knowledge and experience that I would not have gained otherwise.”
– Jodie Wilson, Reliever Pharmacist for the Brisbane Area.
