Job Description

Adjunct Instructor of Pharmacy Tech for Workforce Solutions

Laurel Ridge Community College Workforce Solutions is accepting applications for instructors to teach in our Pharmacy Technician Program.

While teaching experience is helpful, it is not required; however, professional experience and appropriate certification are critical. Our students expect to learn from seasoned professionals who can share their knowledge and relevant experience in the field. The position will require the following responsibilities:

Students can be a mixture of novices, partially trained, or experienced professionals at different levels of their career and supervisory roles. Teaching positions are primarily in-person, but occasionally instruction may be hybrid, if necessary. Classes may be offered during the weekday, weekday evenings or weekends depending on the need. These positions are contracted on a course-by-course basis and paid as a part-time employee of the college. Classes may be offered at our Middletown or Fauquier Campuses, our Luray-Page County Center or an off-site location.
