Sterile Processing Technician Program - Live Instructor

Overview:

Springboard is launching an online course for aspiring Sterile Processing Technicians who have no prior experience in healthcare. Springboard is looking to hire an engaging Live Instructor with prior experience teaching aspiring Sterile Processing Technicians (CSPTs) preparing for the CRCST exam, and who is able to serve as a founding instructional partner and subject matter expert, helping to shape session structure, pacing, and exam-readiness strategy for a first-time program launch.

Responsibilities:

• Facilitate 60-minute, large-group “review sessions” (20-30 students per session) aligned to key curriculum & CRCST focus areas over a 14-week period.
  • Each lecture will be held 2x weekly to accommodate time zones.
• Lead engaging, motivational sessions that help build student confidence in material.
• Prepare independently for live sessions (up to 3 additional hours per week).
• As this is a new program, work with Springboard’s learning team to develop and modify all session agendas and lecture decks. [Note: We’re looking for someone who likes to build out session agendas and content, not just teach it. No branding/design skill required.]
• Develop gamified approaches using tools like Kahoot and others.
• Offer 2 live session slots per week, to accommodate different time zones.
• Perform tool demonstrations as needed.
• Support CRCST exam prep by holding exam review sessions towards the end of the course.
• Respond to student questions about course material over email as needed.
• Other needs as they arise.

• At least five years’ experience working as a sterile processor. Experience working in a hospital-based sterile processing department preferred.
• Current CRCST certification through HSPA (certification must be active).
• Prior teaching, training, or precepting experience in Sterile Processing is required. Experience teaching in online or hybrid environments is required.
• Ability to break down complex sterilization and infection prevention concepts for students with no prior healthcare experience. 

Other Requirements:

• Must have excellent computer skills and must have reliable internet (no hot spots).  Instructors must be logged onto their computers and utilize their computers for all sessions.
• Ability to work independently, think critically, and reliably commit to a lecture schedule.
• Must be able to support 24-hour response times to Springboard emails, and 24-48 business-hour response times to student questions.
