BCIT’s School of Health Sciences is seeking a temporary, part-time (0.1 FTE) Assistant Instructor, Prosthetics and Orthotics. The Assistant Instructor will support the delivery of hands-on prosthetic fabrication instruction within the Prosthetics and Orthotics program. Working under the direction of faculty and in collaboration with the program's Registered Prosthetic Technician, the successful candidate will assist with the preparation, demonstration, supervision, and cleanup of fabrication laboratory activities. This role provides additional instructional support during high-volume practical sessions to help ensure a safe, organized, and effective learning environment. 

Students in the program fabricate prosthetic devices for use during simulated clinical experiences with volunteer participants. Through these experiences, students develop technical fabrication skills including plaster work, cast modification, vacuum-forming and blister-forming prosthetic sockets, trimming and finishing thermoplastic components, prosthetic assembly, alignment procedures, and related laboratory techniques. The Assistant Instructor will provide technical demonstrations, support students as they practice fabrication techniques, assist with laboratory setup and maintenance, and contribute to the safe operation of equipment and tools. 

This position is 0.1 FTE (approximately 49 hours over the 14-week appointment period, averaging 3.5 hours per week). Workload will vary according to course scheduling and fabrication activities and will require flexibility. Scheduled work may consist of full-day (7-hour) or half-day (3.5-hour) shifts during designated laboratory sessions throughout the Fall term.
