English Instructor

At Sandhills Community College, we are committed to the health and well‑being of our employees, their families, and children across North Carolina. We recently earned Family Forward NC Certified Employer status, a recognition that designates employers who support working families and children. The English Instructor will guide and direct the learning experiences of students in the field of composition and literature, ensuring they develop knowledge, skills, and motivation.

Faculty are expected to be accessible to students, colleagues, and staff, and to share a fair share of the college’s workload.

The role includes teaching English courses in a variety of delivery modes—traditional classroom, online, hybrid, weekend, 8‑week, 5‑week, and evening. Additional duties involve participation on college committees and other support tasks as assigned by the department head. Classes may be taught at the Pinehurst Campus, Hoke Campus, or at the Moore County high‑school campus. Integration with other disciplines and support for technology programs is a plus.

Interviews will consist of a teaching demonstration and a written assessment.
