This Pharmacist had first spoken with Gemma several years earlier after she helped him secure a previous pharmacy position. Having stayed in touch, Gemma reached out again when a suitable opportunity became available for a pharmacist role in Liverpool.
The timing couldn’t have been better.
“I wasn’t actively looking, it was just coincidental. Gemma phoned, and I was already thinking about making a move.”
Rather than sending endless job adverts, Gemma introduced him to a Pharmacist role that matched his experience, ambitions and personal circumstances in Liverpool.
A Recruitment Consultant Who Made the Process Easy
Throughout the recruitment process, Gemma acted as his main point of contact, ensuring everything progressed smoothly.
While the employer managed the formal recruitment process, Gemma coordinated communication, arranged interviews and kept him updated at every stage.
“Gemma was really good at following up with things. I wasn’t hearing a great deal directly from the company, so she acted as the middle person, liaising with HR and recruitment and making sure messages were passed between us. Having her there was a real benefit because she took care of everything while I was busy at work.”
For experienced pharmacy professionals balancing demanding management responsibilities, having an expert recruiter manage the process can make all the difference.
A Better Work-Life Balance
Although he moved from one management role into another, the benefits of his new pharmacist job in Liverpool went far beyond salary.
One of the biggest improvements was his daily commute.
Instead of spending over an hour travelling home after work, he now reaches home in just 20 minutes.
The move has provided:
- A significantly shorter commute
- Improved work-life balance
- A financial uplift
- The opportunity to lead positive change within a new pharmacy
Transforming Pharmacy Performance
Since joining his new pharmacy, he has had an immediate impact.
Using his management experience, he has introduced new processes, streamlined services and improved both operational performance and staff morale.
Some of the improvements include:
- Increasing prescription volume by approximately 16%
- Growing weight management service revenue by around £1,000 per month
- Expanding contraception service delivery
- Consistently achieving New Medicine Service (NMS) targets
- Streamlining Pharmacy First processes to improve efficiency
- Creating a calmer, more organised working environment for the entire team
Would He Recommend Gemma Brice?
Without hesitation, the answer was yes.
“Absolutely. Gemma was really helpful and was instrumental in me obtaining the position because she introduced the opportunity to me. I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise.”
Her proactive approach meant he discovered an opportunity that wasn’t on his radar and ultimately secured a role that offered both personal and professional benefits.
