School Psychologist - Des Plaines, Illinois

$40 - $60 per hour

Sunbelt Staffing

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a rewarding contract role supporting Pre-K through 8th-grade students as a district-assigned school psychologist. This position is uniquely focused on evaluations, offering an opportunity to concentrate on your expertise in conducting assessments without the distraction of daily classroom or building-level crises. Working from the district office, you will make a district-wide impact while enjoying a stable and collaborative environment.

Qualifications:

  • Current Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) and School Psychologist certification (pending applications considered for travel professionals)
  • Experience in the school setting, particularly conducting student evaluations
  • Knowledge of Early Intervention (EI) transition processes and team-based assessments
  • Skilled in facilitating domain meetings and engaging in multidisciplinary teams
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to manage a caseload focused exclusively on evaluations (approximately 63 annually, with EI transitions around 17 per year)

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and facilitate domain meetings and evaluation processes for Pre-K–8th grade students
  • Oversee and support Early Intervention (EI) transition assessments, including the Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessment (TPBA)
  • Attend and participate in MTSS referral meetings for individual students as needed
  • Maintain thorough documentation and communication with district personnel
  • Remain at the district office rather than rotating among buildings, focusing on specialized services rather than daily student or staff support
  • Collaborate with district staff while working in a supportive, centralized environment

Schedule:

  • Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
  • Contract runs through June 19th, 2027; start as soon as possible

Take the next step in your career by leveraging your assessment expertise in this focused, supportive contract opportunity. Submit your application today to bring your skills to a district committed to quality developmental and academic support for its students.

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.
