About the Role

Western Community College is seeking qualified and experienced Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) to deliver selected laboratory courses and practical training sessions within the Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA) Program.

The successful candidate will provide hands-on laboratory instruction, demonstrations, and guidance to help students develop the practical skills and competencies required for medical laboratory assistant practice.

A subsequent teaching assignment is anticipated at WCC’s Abbotsford Campus starting January 4, 2027.

MLT instructors are required for specific courses and laboratory sections within each MLA cohort, rather than for all courses in the program. Additional assignments may become available with future cohorts, depending on enrolment, course schedules, and program requirements.
