Summary of position: We are seeking an experienced and passionate Neuropsychologist to launch a neuropsychological services program within the Center for Effective Therapy (CET). This is an exciting opportunity to lead a new program within the Baker Center's outpatient services.

This includes conducting evaluations, creating an operational structure, and engaging in marketing and outreach efforts. While this role will begin as a primary clinical position, opportunities to grow the program will include hiring neuropsychologists, psychometricians, and adding a testing rotation to the Baker Center's training programs will become available.

• Conducts approximately 8-10 comprehensive assessments per month, with bonus opportunities. The goal will be to start by providing the majority of the clinical work to launch the program, but then quickly add clinical staff and correspondingly reduce clinical expectations.

• Launch, build, and oversee the assessment program at CET.

• Eventually the role would include recruiting, hiring, training and managing additional clinical staff within the program.

• Clearly and empathically communicates assessment findings to family members, patients, and referral sources.

• Coordinates evidence-based treatment recommendations to patients in collaboration with clinical team and external collaterals.

• Completes all reports and clinical documentation in a timely manner and in accordance with American Psychological Association professional standards and in compliance with current policies.
