Job Description

Rappahannock Community College (RCC), founded in 1970, provides high-quality educational and training opportunities throughout a 12-county service region an hour east of Richmond on the beautiful western shore of the Chesapeake Bay with access to fresh local seafood and water activities. RCC delivers accessible and affordable educational opportunities, including for-credit transfer and career technical programs, robust distance education coursework, quality dual enrollment courses, and award-winning workforce training and credentialing programs. RCC's annualized enrollment of 3,900 credit students in 2025-2026 and almost 890 workforce and community development students are supported by almost 140 full-time employees and over 200 part-time/adjunct employees across two main campuses and five satellite sites.

Are you someone who wants to help students achieve their educational and professional dreams?

As the instructor, you will equip future technicians with the skills needed to deliver care across diverse clinical settings-including hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing homes, and residential care facilities-and prepare them to pass both the Virginia State Board of Nursing exam for Nurse Aide licensure and the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) national certification exam.

Key responsibilities of this role include delivering engaging classroom instruction and hands-on skill labs across one or more assigned campus sites and teaching core PCT and Nurse Aide competencies, including activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and personal care techniques, and diagnostic and clinical skills such as EKG administration and Phlebotomy (blood drawing). Ln addition, this role will instruct on specialized patient care procedures such as Foley care, catheter care, basic specimen collection, and vital signs monitoring.

This position will also lead and supervise students during clinical rotations at designated regional healthcare agencies, maintaining strict adherence to safety and infection control standards. Lastly, this role will evaluate student progress and ensure readiness to sit for the Virginia State Board of Nursing Nurse Aide exam and the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) exam.

The College desires candidates with a commitment to the community college mission and experience working in a varied student population, including adult learners and at-risk students. The successful candidate will be committed to academic excellence, continuous improvement through professional development, assessment, program and course development, and creating a collegial environment of civility, collaboration and open communication. The college strives for a faculty of content experts who are also knowledgeable about best practices, innovative strategies, and instructional technologies that support teaching and learning.
