About Arizona Home Care & Patient Care Infusion 

If you're ready to step out of traditional pharmacy and into one of the most specialized, technically demanding fields in healthcare — this is your next move. 

Arizona Home Care & Patient Care Infusion is a locally owned provider of home health, home infusion, and nuclear pharmacy services that has served the Valley for over 30 years. Our nuclear pharmacy prepares and dispenses radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic use, operating under some of the most rigorous regulatory standards in all of healthcare.  

The Role 

We are looking for a detail-oriented, dependable Nuclear Pharmacy Technician to join our team. In this role, you will support all aspects of nuclear pharmacy operations under the direct supervision of a licensed nuclear pharmacist — from preparing and dispensing radiopharmaceuticals to maintaining radiation safety compliance and coordinating time-sensitive deliveries to hospitals and imaging centers. 

This is a highly specialized, non-retail role that requires precision, accountability, and a genuine commitment to regulatory compliance and patient safety.

• Friendly, supportive team that values accuracy, teamwork, and patient care 
• Stable, predictable schedule with a locally owned company that has served the Valley for 30+ years 

Schedule 

• Monday – Friday, 12:00 AM – 8:30 AM If you thrive when the rest of the world is asleep and want consistent, predictable overnight hours — this shift is a fit. 

Occasional overtime may be required to meet patient care or business needs. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Prepare, label, and dispense radiopharmaceutical doses under pharmacist supervision 
• Perform quality control testing — radiochemical purity, pH, visual inspection 
• Operate and calibrate dose calibrators; manage time-sensitive preparation schedules 
• Handle, store, and dispose of radioactive materials per NRC and ALARA standards 
• Coordinate time-sensitive deliveries to hospitals and imaging centers 
• Maintain accurate documentation per NRC, AZ Board of Pharmacy, and accrediting body requirements
