Position Overview
Behavioral & Neuropsychological Consultants is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented psychometrician, TLLP, or LLP to assist with psychological and neuropsychological evaluations in an outpatient clinical practice.
This is not an entry-level administrative position and is not appropriate for applicants whose experience is limited to providing psychotherapy. The selected candidate must have formal graduate-level psychology training and either prior experience administering standardized psychological or neuropsychological tests or a strong, demonstrable foundation in assessment.
The position will begin part-time and may develop into full-time employment as the clinician’s testing and clinical caseload increases. Expansion of hours will be based on demonstrated competence, reliability, accuracy, efficiency, professional judgment, and ability to manage assigned responsibilities with increasing independence.
We are seeking someone who can begin as soon as possible, ideally within two weeks.

Applicants must be legally eligible to work within the scope of their education, training, and Michigan licensure status. Clinical work will be performed under the supervision of a fully licensed doctoral-level clinical psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist.
Primary Responsibilities
The clinician will:
- Administer psychological and neuropsychological tests exactly according to standardized procedures.
- Accurately score testing instruments using test manuals, computerized scoring systems, and established practice procedures.
- Prepare complete testing records for the supervising neuropsychologist, including behavioral observations, score summaries, response patterns, and any deviations from standardized administration.
- Document meaningful observations regarding effort, attention, frustration tolerance, comprehension, impulsivity, fatigue, pain behavior, emotional presentation, and test-taking approach.
- Review the patient’s referral question, testing plan, and relevant clinical information before each appointment.
- Prepare all testing materials and the testing environment before the patient arrives.
- Maintain test security, patient confidentiality, HIPAA compliance, and ethical handling of protected assessment materials.
- Maintain accurate test inventories, patient records, scoring files, protocols, and administrative documentation.
- Complete scoring and assigned documentation promptly and within established deadlines.
- Communicate professionally with patients, caregivers, office staff, and the supervising psychologist.
- Participate in supervision, training, competency review, and corrective feedback.
- For qualified TLLP or LLP applicants, the position may also include clinical interviewing, treatment planning, psychotherapy, and related clinical services within the individual’s authorized scope of practice and demonstrated competency.
