Why PESCM: We are not your typical veterinary hospital.
PESCM is run by managers who have been with the hospital for a decade or more, all promoted from within.

Our mission is to serve pets and people by continually pushing to improve our medicine, our service, our communication, and ourselves.
About the Job: Pharmacy technicians are responsible for the management of medication distribution, overseeing the pharmacy log, answering incoming phone calls from outside pharmacies and clients, and providing drug information and education to the clients. The primary responsibilities of the Pharmacy Technician are to assist the medical teams with serving customers and maintaining the Pharmacy department. The incumbent is required to perform all tasks in a safe manner, consistent with federal & state pharmaceutical laws.
How you'll make a difference:
What you will bring:
Compensation: $25.00-$27.00/hr
Benefits of working with us:
We offer desirable alternative work schedules, a competitive bay area wage and comprehensive benefits plan to include medical/dental, 401k, paid time off, scrub allowance, generous Pet Benefit Plan, Continued Education opportunities, and Commuter benefit, as most of our staff travel from outside of Marin County, often passing other specialty practices!
Location: 901 Francisco Blvd E, San Rafael, CA 94901
