The role offers flexibility to set your own schedule within assessment timeframes, with compensation of $135 to $200 per assessment depending on location and assessment type. You'll have access to continuing education and mentoring through a nationwide network of consultant therapists. The onboarding and documentation processes are described as streamlined.
