Pharmacist (18-Month Contract) – Mississauga

WHO WE ARE

When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways

to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our

founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health

by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He

knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first

prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a non-profit with a mission

to support better health for all Canadians.

We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re

the only non-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and

care together, all in one place.

We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better

way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that

takes care of the mind and body.

Our mission is to create better health for all

Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees.
