**FACULTY OF HEALTH STUDIES / OLSON CENTRE FOR HEALTH SIMULATION**

NorQuesters are difference makers and we’re searching for someone who can start small and think BIG in the support of our Olson Centre for Health Simulation as a Casual Instructional Assistant to support our learners in using simulation to improve patient safety, quality of care, health care, and human services education.

Reporting to the Manager, Olson Centre for Health Simulation, the Instructional Assistant provides interdisciplinary instructional assistant support including being responsible for both technical simulation support and facilitation and evaluation of simulation scenarios, assisting instructors with some simulation learning material development using appropriate technologies, and maintaining the overall simulation centre which can include supplies and technology equipment such as the manikin, virtual reality, or camera equipment.

The Instructional Assistant will have a diverse health background with an active registration to their health discipline (not just nursing); we are looking for disciplines including pharmacy technicians, interdisciplinary therapy assistants, recreational therapists, etc. While this is a casual position, we are looking for individuals who can commit consistent hours on a monthly basis. The Olson Center will provide thorough training in all aspects of simulation including the technology. This is a great opportunity to have current digital and technology training related to healthcare training.

**HOW YOU'LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE**
- Participate in operating, evaluation, facilitation, and debriefing of interdisciplinary simulation-based learning experiences.

- Demonstrate required knowledge, understanding, and support related to specific interdisciplinary scenarios used in simulation sessions.
- Assist in student lab supervision, scheduling, and timetabling of lab usage.
- Provide feedback to students on their performance according to scenario goals and related outcomes, providing updates to Olson staff.
- Work with students on areas identified by the team as needing improvement.
- Attend team meetings related to the simulation lab functioning and maintenance.
- Provide support in FHS inter-professional events and learning activities, as a member of the FHS inter-professional Task Team.
- Order and maintain inventory control of instructional resources, keep lab organized, and ensure equipment is functional (e.g. simulation manikins, audiovisual/ technical equipment, and lab supports and supplies).
- Provide basic technical assistance for equipment and technologies including basic trouble shooting and maintenance.

**WHAT YOU BRING**
- Education in a related health field with a diploma is an asset.
- It is preferred to have an associated registration in good standing.
- Vulnerable Sector Check within the last 30 days.
- 3+ years' experience in their discipline related role - acute, long-term care, community, or pharmacy setting.
- Experience in an interdisciplinary team setting.
- Experience in an educational setting, facilitation, and instructional support, is an asset.

**WHAT MAKES YOU A DIFFERENCE MAKER**

**As a difference maker you bring**:

- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team environment.
- Project execution skills.
- Previous experience in a simulation lab is an asset.
- Experience with People Soft and proficiency with Microsoft Office is an asset.
- Attention to detail when working with simulation equipment, doing lab set ups, and documentation.
- A background of working with, or a desire to learn how to work with, simulation equipment.
- Equity, diversity, and inclusion training, education, and knowledge; including work or lived experience with diverse populations.
- Trauma-informed care training is an asset.
- Technological acumen would be an asset.
- Some flexibility related to hours of work to meet the Divisional demands for ongoing simulated based learning experiences (may include weekends or evening hours).

**SALARY**:$28.66-$37.24 reflective of what you bring AKA your education and experience. This is a casual opportunity until October 7, 2025 and also includes 11.2% in lieu of vacation and benefits.

We offer flexible work options. We strive for balance between a flexible work environment, connectedness to the campus community, and ensuring NorQuesters are set up to succeed in their roles and responsibilities.
