About us

The Co-operative Pharmacy is the largest owned community pharmacy in the UK, so we’re sure to have the perfect opportunity near to you.

It is not just our size that makes us so special though – it is our history. We can trace our roots back to 1844, when The Co-operative Group was formed to make quality products and services available to everyone, at prices they could afford.


We are part of that proud tradition today, and as well as healthcare products, we are making our healthcare services and lifestyle advice available and more accessible to millions of people.

Aiming to become the leading provider of pharmacy services within the community, we are expanding and investing in new ideas and services to bring better health to more people. We are also investing £2 million in updating and re-furbishing our branches. The future is looking great, and now we are on the look-out for bright, commercial and customer-focused individuals to join us.

As well as careers for experienced and recently qualified pharmacists, we also need people to provide support to our pharmacists in our branches, at our Head Office in Rochdale and in our National Distribution Centre in Stoke-on-Trent.

Wherever you work with us, you can be truly proud of what you do, knowing you are delivering ethical and socially responsible pharmacy services to your community.
