Position Summary
Are you passionate about paramedicine and looking to make a meaningful impact in paramedic education? Join the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) as a Sessional Instructor in our Health Sciences Division. Share your real-world experience with aspiring Primary Care Paramedics as they build the advanced clinical skills and decision-making capacity required in today’s evolving practice environment. This is your opportunity to shape the future of emergency medical services in British Columbia.
JIBC has launched an extended, year-long Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) program that provides students with more time to learn, practice, and develop their ability to deliver safe, effective patient care. With two overlapping cohorts, we are expanding our instructional team and looking for skilled and committed paramedics to join us. In this teaching role, you will support student learning through hands-on demonstrations, supervised practice, and structured feedback. You will reinforce key concepts, helping learners connect theory to practice, and assess their progress using a range of evaluation tools. You will also maintain accurate records, promote safety and professionalism in the lab, and communicate with students and staff using platforms such as Microsoft Teams, JIBC email, and learning management systems. Creating a respectful, inclusive learning environment and offering feedback to improve instructional delivery are important aspects of the position.
To support a consistent learning experience for students, classes are typically scheduled Monday to Thursday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. We are seeking instructors who can commit to a minimum of six (6) days per month. Newly hired instructors participate in a paid orientation, working alongside experienced instructional teams in the classroom. Following orientation, teaching schedules are developed by balancing instructor availability and preferences with program needs, offering opportunities for both pre-booked assignments and more flexible teaching opportunities.
This role offers a meaningful opportunity for practicing professionals, as well as for those interested in exploring a transition into teaching.

- Available to attend a minimum of six (6) classroom teaching days each month
Preferred:
- Two or more years of experience working as a paramedic in the ambulance service or related field.
