Dis-Chem Learner Opportunity Combines a Salary With Supervised Pharmacy Training
The Dis-Chem Liberty Promenade learner opportunity combines market-related pay with the learner basic pharmacist-assistant pathway in Cape Town. Applications close on 28 November 2026.
Employment and training
The role begins as fixed-term Dispensary Support employment. Learners must complete the assessment and registration process, with pharmacy tasks performed under a pharmacist’s direct supervision. Permanent employment is conditional on qualifying as a basic pharmacist assistant.
The advert does not state a salary amount or numerical programme duration. Work includes stock handling, customer support and supervised pharmacy activities.
Eligibility
The advert requires Matric, Pure Mathematics at 50%, Life Science and/or Physical Science, and an overall average of at least 50%. It also specifies South African citizenship, English plus another language, computer and numerical skills, a proficiency assessment, and clear criminal and credit checks.
Important subject-requirement discrepancy
The application questionnaire differs from the advert: it mentions Pure Maths at 50% or Maths Literacy at 75%, plus English and Physical Science at 40%. Applicants relying on Maths Literacy or a different subject combination should obtain employer clarification. Do not assume the questionnaire overrides the published requirements.
The form also asks applicants to choose a salary-expectation range. Those choices are questions about an applicant’s expectations, not confirmation of the pay offered.
How to apply
- Read the official Liberty Promenade vacancy.
- Open its specific online application form, which includes a CV upload, education, work history and screening questions.
- Use your actual school results when answering. Do not round a mark upward or select a statement that is inaccurate.
- Review the form and privacy terms before submitting, then retain any confirmation.
Prepare for a careful application
Organise your school results before starting so you can compare each subject and mark accurately. If a requirement is unclear, ask a precise question using the employer’s official contact channel. Avoid relying on an answer in an unrelated job group.
In your CV, use truthful examples of responsibility, attention to detail and communication. Examples from school or volunteering can be relevant when correctly labelled. Do not imply that you are already registered or qualified for professional work if you are not.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply through a Reign Gigs comment?
No. Use the employer’s application form. Public comments are not a recruitment channel and can expose your personal documents.
Does applying guarantee a training place?
No. An application requests consideration; selection and subsequent qualification remain separate steps.
