Skipton, North Yorkshire | 36-hour week
Mon-Fri | 0800-1630 | Every other Friday off
Are you an experienced supervisor who enjoys leading people, improving processes, and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes?
At Dechra, we're passionate about supporting animal health across the globe. As a specialist veterinary pharmaceutical company, we develop, manufacture and supply high-quality products exclusively for veterinarians, helping improve the lives of animals worldwide.
We're now looking for a Dispensary Supervisor to join our manufacturing site in Skipton and take ownership of a critical operation at the heart of our manufacturing process.
A role with real impact
As Dispensary Supervisor, you'll lead a dedicated team responsible for ensuring raw materials and packaging components move efficiently through the site. You'll be the person who keeps operations organised, inventory accurate, and standards exceptionally high.
This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll work closely with colleagues across manufacturing and supply chain functions, helping to keep products moving safely, efficiently and in compliance with GMP requirements.
You'll develop and coach your team, drive performance, maintain high standards of safety and quality, and identify opportunities to improve how we work. Whether it's leading daily team briefings, managing stock accuracy or implementing smarter processes, you'll have a genuine opportunity to make a difference.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with experience leading people in a warehouse, dispensary, manufacturing, or similarly regulated environment.
You'll be comfortable managing processes, maintaining inventory control and promoting a strong safety culture. Just as importantly, you'll be someone who can communicate confidently with colleagues at all levels, solve problems proactively and bring people together to achieve shared goals.
Experience in a GMP environment is essential; experience with Oracle systems and knowledge of warehouse operations would be advantageous. Attention to detail, accuracy and effective time management will be key to success in this role.

- On-time, in-full delivery to manufacturing and packing

We also care deeply about the wellbeing of our people. You'll have full access to our Employee Assistance Programme, offering confidential emotional, physical, and financial support 24/7, 365 days a year.
On top of that, you'll also have access to the following:
