Pharmacist in Charge 80-100%

SZB Apotheke AG is a subsidiary of the Bienne Hospital Centre (CHB), the central public hospital of the bilingual Bienne–Seeland–Jura Bernois region. We currently operate a public pharmacy within the acute care hospital. At the MEDIN site, near Bienne station, the CHB brings together its clinics and subsidiaries offering outpatient services. In 2027, the new health centre "Maison de la Santé" will open its doors in the immediate vicinity of Bienne station. It will bring together in one location the outpatient care services for chronic diseases offered at the MEDIN site. Our public pharmacy will have a second site there, ideally located in the building's entrance hall and easily accessible to all patients.
