Licensed Psychologist, Evaluator (MA)

Are you ready to make a difference? While all students have had their routines interrupted in the past year, special education students along with their parents and educators have faced uniquely complicated challenges during the pandemic. This has only heightened the need for an accessible care solution for students with learning and thinking differences. So, we built Parallel.

Parallel’s mission is to unite the best of technology and traditional care, and we’re looking to grow our team of passionate Psychologists to conduct psychological assessments (e.g., for ADHD, learning disorders, emotional functioning, etc.).

As a Parallel provider, you have a tremendous amount of flexibility - you set your own schedule and complete various aspects of the assessment process on your own time (e.g., analyzing data, writing up, etc.).

Who are we?

Parallel is on a mission to provide students with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning or thinking differences with the resources and encouragement they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. We ?bring extraordinary psycho-educational services to children, adolescents and teens, and their families - all from the comfort and privacy of home.?

Parallel is the first digital health platform that offers everything a student needs to succeed, all in one place and at a fraction of the cost of traditional care providers. Our services include comprehensive psychological assessments, counseling, tutoring, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy. With 1 in 5 students struggling with a learning or thinking difference, and with most of those families forced into a broken care system, Parallel is solving one of the most pressing problems in both the American education and healthcare system.

Parallel is now bringing together an incredible team of individuals to help further our mission. We’re hiring across the US and are open to applicants who prefer to work remotely!

• Directly contribute to bettering the lives of students across the country
• Be part of a high performing team of critical thinkers that thrive on problem-solving
