What the work may be like
Clicks stores combine the feel of a health and beauty specialist with pharmacy professionalism — a cleaner, more service-oriented environment than typical grocery retail. The team culture skews young and health-conscious, with regular product training from leading brands.
The dual retail/healthcare track makes Clicks genuinely unusual among SA retailers — your colleagues include pharmacy assistants, clinic nurses, and beauty specialists.
Hiring and application process
za or through South African platforms such as PNet and Indeed. Applications are screened for a Matric certificate, followed by online aptitude assessments, store-based interviews and reference or background checks, with pharmacy-linked retail positions requiring additional verification.
The process from submission to offer typically takes four to six weeks. Applicants should prepare by reviewing Clicks’ health, beauty and personal-care ranges and showing awareness of the group’s BBBEE transformation goals.
Who may be a good fit
- Candidates across all provinces with Matric looking for one of SA's largest retail employers with accessible entry-level roles and on-the-job training with strong earning potential
- Dual retail and healthcare career track is unique in SA — two career paths in one employer
- Pharmacy learnership programme fully funded — qualification while earning
- Strong employee discounts on Clicks products and ClubCard benefits
What candidates should verify
- • Pharmacy roles require specific qualifications — not a universal entry point
- • Busier stores can be high-pressure during flu season and peak retail periods
- • Confirm salary, shift, location and campaign details in the live vacancy.
- • Use the employer's official application channel and never pay to apply.
