Job description

The School Psychologist position is a dynamic and impactful role designed for professionals who are passionate about supporting the academic, social-emotional, and mental health needs of students. This full-time opportunity is based within a school environment and provides a chance to work collaboratively with educators, administrators, students, and families to help foster a positive and productive learning atmosphere. As a School Psychologist, you will provide expertise in assessment, intervention, and consultation, contributing to the overall well-being and academic success of students across diverse backgrounds.

In this full-time School Psychologist role, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference by conducting comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations and re-evaluations. Your expertise will be essential in identifying student strengths and areas in need of support, ensuring that each student receives tailored interventions. Working closely within multidisciplinary teams, you'll participate in eligibility and Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, offering valuable input that shapes educational planning and supports student achievement. You'll also play a critical role in the response to intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) processes, supporting the development and implementation of effective behavioral intervention plans.

Beyond assessment, the School Psychologist position involves extensive consultation and collaboration. You'll work in partnership with teachers, administrators, and families, providing expert guidance on how to best support students' academic and emotional needs. Your involvement will help inform classroom strategies, behavioral supports, and interventions that are evidence-based and aligned with best practices in school psychology. Additionally, you will assist in crisis intervention efforts, offering crucial support to students experiencing mental health challenges and contributing to the overall safety and well-being of the school community.

Maintaining accurate and timely documentation is a core part of this role, ensuring compliance with state and district guidelines. You will be responsible for preparing comprehensive assessment reports, documenting consultation activities, and ensuring that all records meet professional and legal standards. This attention to detail is vital for effective communication among school teams and for maintaining a high standard of care for students and families.

The ideal candidate for this School Psychologist role will have a Master's or Doctorate degree in School Psychology, as well as a valid Professional Educator License (PEL) with a School Psychologist endorsement or eligibility for such licensure. While prior school-based experience is preferred, new graduates who demonstrate strong assessment, communication, and collaboration skills are encouraged to apply. This position is aligned with the school calendar and provides the chance to work on-site in a supportive educational setting. Competitive compensation and ongoing professional support are offered, reflecting a commitment to high-quality service delivery and staff development.
