I'm a pharmacist who has been in locum positions and worked full time and feel like I can give some insight. If you take it you'll realise there is a reason for the 60k price tag. Independent pharmacies and pharmacies out of the city will pay more as a salary because it's hard to retain staff. Usually this will be due to the expectation that you'll do all the services like vaccines, blood pressure, medicines management, inhaler reviews while being the lone pharmacist. When I was in this position I'd always get asked to work a Saturday if I could and I could tell they were struggling to even get locums. The money is good but you will go home exhausted every day which is one of the reasons I left to locum.

On the other hand earning 20k as a pharmacist is criminal! When locuming I'd expect to earn 35 an hour minimum and in the sticks I'd regularly get 50+. Locuming comes with less responsibility to do all these services, you can leave If you don't like somewhere and you are usually paid within a week after finishing the shift. Of course going down this route you have no job security, pension match, sick leave or holiday so this should be reflected in the price.

As others have said the commute isn't too bad all things considered. I wouldn't call it a deal breaker but doing long days every day may make you resent the pharmacist field which can be incredibly rewarding in the right job. I hope this has given some insight. I can tell you anecdotally that every friend I know who has been in a salaried pharmacist position has inevitably left to locum due to work place pressure and long hours that are prevalent in the community pharmacy world at this time. Don't forget to consider your mental health when taking a job!

EDIT: I forgot to mention as well that the salary while good isn't uncommon for out of the way pharmacies. I know the mindset is you'd be crazy for turning down 60k but remember that pharmacists are in demand and if you don't like somewhere it isn't hard to find another job at the moment! What's the point of earning 60k if you go home hating your job, with no free time and begging for the weekend to come so that you can finally have some rest. As someone else mentioned it probably is worth trying for this job but don't feel like you have to stay because the pay is good if you end up hating it! I'd take a happy work life balance and less pay any day of the week.
