Job Description

Make an impact supporting students’ growth and development as a contracted School Psychologist serving Pre-K through 8th grade in a dynamic Illinois district near Chicago. In this unique, district-level role, you’ll focus on evaluation and transitional processes, ensuring students receive the services and support they need to thrive.

This position features a consistent schedule, working Monday through Friday with start and end times from 7:45 am to 3:30 pm. As a district-based psychologist, your time will primarily be devoted to conducting comprehensive evaluations, managing transitional processes, and collaborating in student-focused meetings—without the daily in-building responsibilities that many school psychologists manage.

What you’ll bring:

• Active or pending Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) and School Psychologist credentials (pending status accepted for travel professionals)
• Experience conducting and managing student evaluations across Pre-K through 8th grade populations
• Solid understanding of evaluation procedures, domain meetings, and early childhood transitions (including TPBA)
• Strong collaboration and communication skills to liaise with teams during MTSS referral meetings
• Ability to work independently from a centralized district location
• No CPI training required for this particular position

Key responsibilities:

• Conduct and complete student evaluations (evals only; approximately 63 last year)
• Run domain meetings and participate in multidisciplinary evaluation processes
• Oversee Early Intervention (EI) transition processes, including TPBA (approximately 17 annually)
• Attend MTSS referral meetings for individual student support as necessary
• Operate from the district office, focusing on specialized processes rather than daily student staff support

If you’re looking to expand your school psychology experience in a supportive and structured district environment, this opportunity offers immediate placement and a rewarding caseload. Step into a role where your expertise drives outcomes—apply now to make a meaningful difference!

Compensation for this position ranges from $40.00 to $60.00. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
