You will build and lead Stepful's clinical instructor function for nursing programs, consolidating clinical education coordination under one owner. This role combines hands-on clinical teaching with team leadership and operational management.
Initially, you'll carry a clinical and skills lab teaching load of approximately two days per week at clinical and simulation lab sites, modeling the standard of instruction you'll hold your team to. As the clinical instructor team grows, your teaching responsibility will shift to backup coverage while you focus on leading the instructor team, deepening clinical site relationships, and running operational systems.
Key responsibilities include:
**Team Building & Development:** Recruit, hire, and onboard clinical instructors; train and develop them in the field; serve as the first point of contact for faculty questions and escalations; experiment with AI tools to improve instructor onboarding and support.
**Clinical Site Relationships:** Build and maintain relationships with clinical site partners including unit leadership and staff; secure new clinical partners as programs scale; act as liaison between instructors and site staff; conduct site visits to assess learning opportunities; handle onboarding logistics including documentation, account setup, badging, and medication administration access.
**Clinical Operations:** Manage clinical site assignments and rotation scheduling across cohorts; confirm coverage for every scheduled clinical day and secure substitutes as needed; arrange computer access, badging, and orientation for students; maintain current agency availability records; keep leadership apprised of changes in clinical procedures and protocols.
**Documentation & Compliance:** Collect and maintain clinical paperwork, student and faculty compliance records, clinical evaluations, and Board of Nursing documentation; track clinical instructor credentialing and health requirements; manage electronic clinical requirement tracking; collaborate on clinical agency evaluations; ensure records are audit-ready for Board of Nursing and accreditation review.
You'll report to the Dean of Nursing and serve as the connective tissue between clinical instructors, site partners, and academic leadership.
