Pharmacy Instructor
St. Luke Catholic Hospital and College of NursingAbout This Role
This is a dual-purpose position within a newly established pharmacy training program at a Catholic hospital-affiliated college in Wolisso. The instructor will be shaping the first cohort of pharmacy students in a fledgling department, which means the person in this seat will likely have a hand in curriculum delivery, practical demonstrations, and possibly program development rather than simply following an established syllabus. It suits a pharmacist who wants to move from pure clinical or retail practice into teaching, particularly one comfortable working in a smaller-town setting where resourcefulness matters more than institutional prestige.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The pairing of a COC certificate with a teaching methodology credential signals that this is a TVET-track role, not a university lectureship — the college needs someone who can deliver competency-based training that meets occupational standards, not just theoretical instruction. The relatively modest experience threshold (two years) combined with the "mid-level" framing suggests they want someone recent enough to be current in practice but seasoned enough to manage a classroom independently. The emphasis on communication and presentation qualities hints that the hiring committee is wary of technically strong pharmacists who cannot hold a room — they are screening for teaching aptitude as much as subject knowledge.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with your COC certification and teaching methodology training early in your application, since these are the clearest signals that you understand the TVET framework the college operates within. If you have any experience mentoring interns, supervising pharmacy students, or delivering workplace training — even informally — frame that as teaching experience rather than burying it under clinical duties. Given that this is a new department, showing initiative and willingness to help build something from the ground up will likely resonate more than a long list of dispensing or hospital pharmacy tasks.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for a pharmacist with some training or mentorship experience who is open to living in Wolisso and wants to build a teaching career within a faith-based institution. Competition is likely moderate — the COC and teaching methodology requirements narrow the pool considerably, but the location may deter some Addis-based candidates.
