Step into a rewarding role supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional success as a school psychologist on a contract basis. This opportunity covers two schools in a reputable district near Mechanicsville, MD, with convenient access to both Baltimore (just over an hour away) and Washington, D.C. (under an hour). You'll join a district known for its welcoming environment and long-standing reputation for supporting clinicians.
A full-time commitment (35 hours/week) during the school year offers the flexibility of choosing a fully in-person schedule or a hybrid option. Hybrid psychologists spend two days per week onsite at their assigned schools, with most meetings held virtually. Occasional in-person attendance is required for key meetings such as IEPs, 504s, or specific student support sessions; these typically align with each school's primary meeting days.
Qualifications and Experience:
- Valid certification as a School Psychologist in Maryland (out-of-state candidates and new graduates encouraged to apply)
- Strong knowledge of psychological assessment, special education evaluation, and student support services
- Outstanding communication and rapport-building skills with students, staff, and families
- Ability to manage flexible schedules and efficiently balance both in-person and remote tasks
Responsibilities:
- Deliver comprehensive psychological services and interventions for K-12 students
- Conduct assessments, write reports, and participate in eligibility determinations
- Collaborate in IEP, 504, and other multi-disciplinary meetings, both virtually and in person as needed
- Support the social-emotional wellbeing of students through counseling and consultation
- Serve two schools, with age group and location preference considered
