About the Role:

Springboard is launching an online training program designed to prepare aspiring Sterile Processing Technicians with no prior healthcare experience for entry-level roles and the CRCST certification exam through HSPA.

Springboard is seeking experienced CRCST-certified Sterile Processing professionals to serve as student mentors throughout the course. Mentors support learners through 1:1 guidance, applied concept reinforcement, and exam-readiness coaching as students progress through a structured 14-week program.

Because this is a first-time program launch, mentors will play an important role as early instructional partners, helping identify where students struggle, how concepts translate into practice, and how exam-readiness support can be strengthened across the student experience.

This role is distinct from the Live Instructor role and does not include lecture delivery responsibilities.

  • Share practical strategies for exam preparation and knowledge retention

Applied Industry Context

  • Help students understand expectations of hospital-based sterile processing environments
  • Share examples from real sterile processing workflows
  • Support students in connecting technical learning to workplace responsibilities
  • Reinforce professionalism expectations within healthcare settings

Asynchronous Student Support

  • Respond to student questions related to course concepts between mentorship sessions
  • Maintain visibility into student engagement and learning progress
  • Escalate risk signals to the Springboard support team when appropriate

Program Collaboration

  • Partner with Live Instructors and Springboard's learning team to surface student learning trends
  • Share feedback on where students struggle with CRCST-aligned material
  • Contribute insights that help strengthen the learning experience during program launch

Qualifications

Required

  • Active CRCST certification through HSPA
  • Minimum 3-5 years experience working as a sterile processing technician
  • Experience working in a hospital-based sterile processing department strongly preferred
  • Prior experience supporting trainees, students, or new sterile processing staff (preceptor, trainer, mentor, or instructor)
  • Ability to explain sterilization workflows and infection prevention concepts clearly to learners with no prior healthcare experience

Preferred

  • Experience mentoring adult learners
  • Experience supporting CRCST exam preparation
  • Experience working in online or hybrid learning environments
  • Experience onboarding or precepting new sterile processing technicians
  • Leadership or shift lead sterile processing experience

Other Requirements

  • Must have reliable internet access (no hotspots)
  • Must be comfortable using online learning platforms and video meeting tools
  • Ability to respond to Springboard communications within 24 hours
  • Ability to respond to student questions within 24-48 business hours
