Faculty - Emergency Medical Technology (EMT)

The full-time faculty at Jefferson College generally have a work week of 35-40 hours, of which 15 hours are scheduled for instruction, and 10 hours are scheduled for office hours. Given the diversity of faculty schedules (clinicals, laboratories, rehearsals, studios, etc.) which require additional contact hours, and the variety of institutional commitments beyond the 25 scheduled hours, it is clearly understood by all parties that faculty work activities exceed the scheduled hours, and that some of these additional hours are performed both on and off campus. In addition, all parties recognize that a flexible five-day work week (5 of 7 days) expectation is reasonable. Modification to the five-day work week for faculty with unusual regular day and night class schedules will require written approval of the president.

This is a 12-month position.

Five years of related industry experience and an Associate’s degree.

Additionally, the following training and experience is required:

3 years of work with EMS students (instructor/preceptor/FTO)

Experience working on committees, completing projects, and creating content/policy/initiatives
