After only a few months in the job, we caught up with Sarah Hackett, Pharmacy Advisor Apprentice at Boots. Unsure about what she wanted to do next, she saw the advert for the Boots apprenticeship, applied and is now working towards her BTEC and NVQ qualifications. Whilst it seems that Sarah is really taking everything in her stride she has credited her early success to the support and dedication of her in-store manager, her mentor and her tutor. The support of the team means she can complete her work during her protected learning time at work, can complete her assignments on time and is already starting to think about what’s next.

Part of the attraction to this role was the idea of meeting new people every day, earning whilst she is learning and of course becoming a qualified pharmacy adviser with the UKs largest high-street pharmacy. As well as her customer facing responsibilities, Sarah is also hands on in the dispensing side of the pharmacy, which means she gets to experience all aspects of this part of the business.

Sarah is incredibly passionate about the career opportunities available to her at Boots, is loving working in a fast-paced environment and can’t get enough of making her customers shopping experience the absolute best it can be!

We would certainly be happy to see Sarah if we needed pharmacy advice!
