Nature of Work

This position requires a candidate to be a quality, top-tiered instructor first. Interested and qualified candidates will join as faculty initially (PT or FT as class availability allows) and, when determined appropriate by the school president, begin taking more substantial responsibilities with increased working hours. Courses are primarily offered in the evening hours and any candidate must be willing to work later in the evenings (up until 10:30pm on some nights). Working hours and schedules can be discussed and agreed so long as the objectives of the position can be met.
