Pharmacist in Charge (PIC)

About the Role

Valley Vital Care Infusion Services is seeking a Pharmacist in Charge (PIC) to serve as the site clinical leader for one of our growing network of infusion pharmacy locations. The PIC owns clinical practice and regulatory compliance at a single Valley Vital Care site across its therapy lines — accountable for medication safety, USP <797> and <800> execution, sterile-compounding oversight, clinical quality, and the competency of site pharmacists and technicians.

This is a hands-on site clinical leadership role for a pharmacist ready to own charge responsibility in a growth-stage, multi-site infusion environment. The PIC is the single named accountable person for whether the site's pharmacy practice is safe, compliant, and audit-ready every day — and the first rung of our pharmacy leadership ladder, with a defined career path toward Lead PIC/Pharmacy Manager and Director of Pharmacy.

• Annual Bonus: Target of 8% of base salary, tied to clinical governance, medication safety, standard adherence, and team outcomes
