Job Description

Step into a rewarding contract opportunity as a School Psychologist serving students in the vibrant Washington DC metropolitan area, just 45 minutes south of the city. This full-time position spans from August 3, 2026, to May 26, 2027, with a consistent Monday-Friday schedule (8:00 AM – 3:30 PM), totaling 37.5 hours per week. You’ll partner with two schools: one elementary and one middle, engaging in impactful work with a diverse group of young learners.

Your role focuses on assessment, consultation, FBA/BIP support, and occasionally contributing to MTSS efforts.

Desired Qualifications:

• Current, active Virginia Department of Education certification
• Valid Virginia Psychologist licensure
• Experience with Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA) and Behavioral Intervention Plans (BIP)
• Familiarity with Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
• Comfortable working across elementary and middle school populations
• Strong collaboration and communication skills

Responsibilities:

• Provide psychoeducational evaluations and comprehensive consultation
• Support development and implementation of FBA/BIP
• Occasionally assist with counseling or MTSS services as needed
• Maintain compliance with required documentation and reporting standards

Perks of the Position:

• Hybrid work flexibility—enjoy a 4-day on-site, 1-day remote workweek option
• Professional support and resources within a collaborative school district
• Opportunity to make a meaningful difference in student wellbeing
