Instructor

⭐ While a background in health sciences, such as Nursing, Medical Assisting, Emergency Medicine, or Phlebotomy, is preferred, it is not a requirement at KLR. We take pride in our comprehensive training program, ensuring the right candidate is fully equipped to deliver our curriculum and supported in obtaining any necessary certifications or licenses.

Position Summary:

This position is responsible for delivering dynamic online instruction, managing curriculum development, and contributing to the continuous improvement of the program. The instructor will play a vital role in the organization's success by overseeing learning programs, developing instructional content, collaborating with administration and finance teams to manage program budgets, and maintaining strong relationships with employer partners, school counselors, staff members, students, parents, and guardians. Additionally, the instructor will be responsible for ensuring that the department remains on task and working closely with the assistant when applicable.

This role includes guiding and supporting students in their work-based learning experiences. The instructor will work to assess skill development, provide ongoing support, and ensure workplace conditions meet program standards. 

In addition to virtual instruction, the instructor may facilitate and participate in a variety of off-site enrichment activities, including student site visits, field trips, clinical skills workshops, student award ceremonies, and professional conferences related to the subject matter.
