Job Description
About the Opportunity
\n
Kabila Wellness, operating as Vital Care of Shelton, is a growing home infusion and specialty pharmacy serving patients throughout Connecticut.
\n
We are seeking an experienced Per Diem Pharmacist to provide pharmacy coverage and support our home infusion operations. Because sterile compounding quality and regulatory compliance are central to our operation, demonstrated knowledge of USP <797> and sterile compounding practices is essential for this position.
\n
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced pharmacist seeking a flexible role in a growing healthcare organization. For the right individual with broader leadership, compliance, HR or healthcare operations experience, there may also be an opportunity to assume expanded leadership responsibilities as the organization grows.
\n
Key Responsibilities
\n
- \n
- Provide pharmacist coverage for home infusion pharmacy operations as needed.
- Perform pharmacist duties consistent with Connecticut law, applicable pharmacy regulations and organizational policies.
- Review and verify prescriptions and medication orders for accuracy, appropriateness and completeness.

- Support adherence to USP <797> requirements and applicable sterile compounding standards.
- Ensure appropriate documentation related to sterile compounding activities, including required logs, records and quality-control documentation.

- Participate in regulatory and accreditation readiness activities as appropriate.
- Collaborate effectively with pharmacy technicians, nurses, prescribers, management and other members of the care team.
- Provide patient- and clinician-focused pharmacy support consistent with the standards of a high-quality home infusion organization.

Opportunity for Expanded Leadership
\n
While the immediate need is for experienced per diem pharmacist coverage, Kabila Wellness is also strengthening its operational, compliance and people infrastructure.
\n
For a candidate with the appropriate background and interest, this position could develop into a broader part-time leadership role supporting areas such as:
\n
- \n
- Pharmacy and healthcare compliance
- Regulatory and accreditation readiness
- Quality-management systems
- Operational process improvement
- Policy and SOP management
- Employee training and development
- People operations and human resources
- Administrative operations
- Organizational growth and infrastructure

We are particularly interested in meeting experienced pharmacists who have developed broader leadership capabilities during their careers and who may be interested in combining clinical/pharmacy expertise with operational leadership.
\n
Who We're Looking For
\n
The right candidate brings more than pharmacist coverage. We are looking for someone who understands that excellent pharmacy operations depend upon patient safety, regulatory compliance, disciplined processes and consistent execution.
\n
You should be comfortable operating independently, collaborating with a small team and identifying issues before they become problems.
\n
For the right individual, this can begin as a flexible per diem opportunity and potentially develop into a meaningful leadership role within a growing healthcare organization.
