Job Details
Join the Cleveland Clinic team where you will work alongside passionate caregivers and make a lasting, meaningful impact on patient care. Here, you will receive endless support and appreciation while building a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.
The Psychometrist provides comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessment support for children and adolescents referred for concerns related to attention, executive functioning, ADHD, and related areas. This role administers, scores, and documents age-appropriate assessment measures, records detailed behavioral observations during testing, and integrates information from multiple sources, including rating scales and collateral records, to support the overall evaluation process.
This is a supervised role that works collaboratively with the evaluation team. The Psychometrist supports the assessment process, while the School Psychologist leads the broader evaluation workflow, including intake, report development, and feedback. A licensed psychologist provides clinical supervision, completes the final review, and signs all final reports in accordance with hospital policy and applicable regulations.
A caregiver in this position works Monday-Friday, 8:00am—4:30pm. No weekends.
A caregiver who excels in this role will:
- Conduct clinical intakes with caregivers and children to clarify referral concerns, developmental/educational history, and functional impairments across settings.
- Administer, score and interpret age-appropriate psychological and psychoeducational assessment instruments relevant to ADHD and differential diagnosis (e.g., attention/executive functioning, learning/academic skills as appropriate, behavior/emotional functioning).
- Maintain awareness of deficits demonstrated by each patient and assure that whenever possible tests of other abilities are presented so that “irrelevant” deficits do not interfere with the patient’s performance.
- Integrate collateral data (e.g., rating scales from parents/teachers, academic records, and relevant school documentation when available).
- Synthesize findings across sources to support diagnostic impressions and practical, school-relevant recommendations.
- Draft comprehensive evaluation reports (background, test results, interpretation, diagnostic formulation, and recommendations).
- Provide results/feedback sessions to families, translating findings into clear, compassionate, actionable guidance for home and school, with supervisory support as needed.
- Maintain record keeping and data retrieval systems associated with test batteries; adhere to clinical workflows and quality standards for evaluation, documentation, and turnaround time.
- Performs other duties as assigned.

- Bachelor’s degree in psychology or related field
- Master's Degree in psychology or certification by the Board of Certified Psychometrists
- Completion of two or more Cleveland Clinic courses or other professional development courses approved by Section Head and/or Administrator pertaining to improved knowledge of psychometric principles and/or other job-related skills and knowledge
