This travel School Psychologist opportunity is based in Albemarle, North Carolina, a welcoming city that blends small-town charm with easy access to some of the state’s most scenic natural areas. Nestled near the Uwharrie Mountains, Albemarle offers quick access to Morrow Mountain State Park, Lake Tillery, and nearby hiking, biking, paddling, and camping. The community features a revitalized downtown with local shops, restaurants, and events, giving you the feel of a close-knit community while still being within driving distance of larger metropolitan areas like Charlotte. In this role, you will support students from PreK through 12th grade across multiple school sites within the district. Your workday will be dynamic and varied, as you partner with educators, administrators, families, and related service providers to support student learning and well-being. You will need to be comfortable traveling between campuses during the week and managing a caseload that spans early childhood through high school. Typical responsibilities include conducting psychoeducational evaluations for students suspected of having disabilities, including cognitive, academic, social-emotional, and behavioral assessments. You will synthesize results into comprehensive written reports, share findings with IEP and eligibility teams, and help design appropriate educational and behavioral interventions. You will participate as an integral member of multi-disciplinary teams at both the school and district level, contributing your expertise to decisions about eligibility, placement, and services. A key part of your role will be engaging in consultation and collaboration. You will meet regularly with teachers, administrators, and related service providers to discuss student concerns, interpret assessment data, and develop intervention plans. You will also hold conferences with parents and guardians to review evaluation results, discuss progress, and collaborate on strategies to support students both at school and at home. This position provides the opportunity to support student mental health in a meaningful way. You will provide individual and small-group counseling for students with a range of social, emotional, and behavioral needs and may facilitate short-term targeted interventions to build coping skills, problem-solving, and resilience. You will engage in crisis response when needed, contributing to risk assessments, safety planning, and coordination with school teams and community partners. The district utilizes ECATS, and you will use this system for documentation, data tracking, and special education case management. Familiarity with ECATS or similar platforms will help you quickly integrate into the team. The environment is collaborative, with opportunities to learn from other school psychologists, counselors, and special education staff while sharing your own expertise and best practices. Your schedule is based on a 37.5-hour workweek with 7.5-hour days, aligning with the traditional school day. The caseload and daily schedule may vary across the year, but the focus remains on providing high-quality, student-centered psychological services. You will have the chance to follow students’ progress over time, deepen relationships with schools, and see the impact of your work across multiple grade levels. This assignment is well suited for a travel professional who wants to build a strong school-based resume in North Carolina, gain robust PreK–12 experience, and work in a supportive educational community. The combination of meaningful, direct student impact and the lifestyle benefits of living near lakes, mountains, and trails makes this role particularly attractive for school psychologists who value both professional growth and outdoor recreation.
