Join the Child Study & Treatment Center (CSTC) at the Washington State Department of Social & Health Services (DSHS) as a Psychologist Forensic Evaluator!

In this important role, you will conduct forensic psychological evaluations for youth involved in the justice system under RCW 10.77. You'll provide expert testimony, complete psychological assessments, and write reports to help courts make informed decisions about young people's mental health and legal competence. Your expertise will guide the courts in cases involving both juvenile and adult criminal proceedings, always with a focus on the unique needs of children and adolescents.

Telework up to 2 days per may be available for this position. Pierce County employees are eligible to receive an Orca Card for transportation needs.

This position is also eligible as a 12-month In-Training opportunity allowing those with a doctorate degree, who are not yet licensed to apply. If selected as a candidate in training you will work as a Psychologist 3.

Note: You will receive orientation to clinic policies and procedures but will be expected to function fairly autonomously with regards to complete and writing juvenile forensic evaluations.

Some of what you'll do

Conduct forensic evaluations for the courts, including assessments of competence to stand trial, mental state, clinical diagnoses, developmental status, risk, and restoration potential
Interview youth, review records, talk to collateral sources, and administer psychological tests
Write clear, objective reports to inform court decisions
Provide expert testimony as needed
Offer competence restoration services for youth when indicated
Travel within Washington State for interviews and court appearances
Complete necessary documentation and support your team
