JOB INFORMATION

WHY WORK HERE?

You will be challenged to find a college that matters more to its community than Chemeketa means to the residents of Oregon's Mid-Willamette Valley. If Chemeketa's core values of adaptability, belonging, community, opportunity, and quality resonate with you, Chemeketa could be a rewarding workplace to fulfill your potential and contribute your expertise.

Chemeketa Community College is committed to maintaining a workforce that supports the college's mission of access and opportunity. We are a college community enriched by the diversity of our students, staff and community members.

If culture is what you seek, the Willamette Valley is the most populated area in Oregon and contains its three largest cities:
Salem, Portland, and Eugene, which are home to many museums and theaters. The Valley is also known for its vineyards, breweries and fantastic casual dining experiences. You can visit the majestic Oregon coast to the west and the incomparable Cascades to the east within a seventy five minute drive from Salem, a city with a more affordable cost of living than many comparable cities on the west coast.

We are looking for energetic and teaching-focused candidates for one full-time, 172-day Spanish Instructor. Chemeketa serves a large, diverse three county area through its central campus in Salem, a network of satellite campuses and centers, and by being a statewide leader in online education. This teaching assignment may include the use of non-traditional delivery methodologies such as:remote, hybrid, and/or online.

Chemeketa is a proud Hispanic-Serving Institution that aspires to be an inclusive environment where we honor and value the unique contributions of our diverse students, employees, and community. We seek to foster cultural competence and pursue equitable solutions that support all students in achieving their educational goals.
