This afternoon I took a peek at our roster for open jobs in schools. I was shocked to see that there were 45 openings for School Psychologists! It seems that there is an acute shortage across the country. Now, granted, this is the time of year that evaluations pile up and schools are seeking help to finish out the current school year, however, many of these districts are asking us to help them find candidates for the 2016-2017 year.
My company has been placing Occupational, Speech and Physical therapist "travelers" in schools for several years now, but it seems that other disciplines are just as eligible for the benefits afforded to those working as a contractor/traveler. Check out the January, 2011 post on this blog for a FAQ sheet to help with questions about these nomadic opportunities. If you are a School Psychologist, you are the latest "hot" commodity!
Here are just a few of the locations on our list, though know that it changes on a weekly basis as we fill some of the positions and add others as they arrive in the office:
Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage, AK - Sacramento, San Jose and Napa, CA - Denver and Ft. Morgan, CO - Athens, GA - You Name the town, WA - Suburbs of Chicago, IL -
Charlotte and Fayetteville, NC - Columbia, Greenville, Spartanburg, SC - SW, Wyoming - Portland, OR - Indianapolis, Bloomington, IN
Feel free to call me at 770-325-0234 if I can clarify anything for you or send your resume to me at millie.simpson@soliant.com.
Ask some of your friends who have enjoyed the experience of working travel jobs about the pros and cons...or you can ask me; I'll be up-front and honest!
