This is not that role! Not the one where you spend your days managing a dispensary counter, fielding complaints about waiting times, or chasing locum rota gaps. This is something different. Montu Pharmacy is the dispensing engine behind the UK's largest medical cannabis clinic. We are processing 50,000 prescriptions a month, growing 10% month on month, and we are not slowing down. Our pharmacy is entirely digital. Our patients are people who have often exhausted every other option. And the work we are doing here is genuinely changing lives. We are looking for a Superintendent Pharmacist who does not need a traditional environment to thrive. Someone who has probably worked in a scale-up, a healthtech business, or an environment where the rulebook was still being written. Someone who is as comfortable in a conversation about automation and dispensing technology as they are in a GPhC inspection. Someone who sees governance not as a ceiling but as the thing that makes bold ambition possible. You will own the professional and regulatory leadership of the pharmacy. You will sit alongside the Medical Director and Pharmacy General Manager, shape clinical strategy, and help define what the future of digital pharmacy actually looks like in practice. You will have scope that most Superintendent roles simply do not offer. What this role is not: a comfortable, predictable, nine-to-five. The pace is real. The volume is significant. And the expectation is that you can hold rigorous professional standards whilst navigating growth, change, and complexity without needing everything to be settled before you act. If you have spent your career in traditional pharmacy and are looking for more of the same, this probably is not the right fit. If you are a pharmacist who has been quietly wondering whether there is something more interesting out there, this might be exactly it.
