Psychometrist

McKie Psychological Services is an expanding private clinical psychology practice located in

Vancouver's Fairview neighbourhood. We are seeking a skilled, motivated, and detail-oriented

Psychometrist to support the delivery of psychological and psychoeducational assessments, primarily

with children and adolescents, with opportunities to work with adults.

This position would be particularly well suited to current graduate students or recent graduates in

clinical, school, or counselling psychology who have an interest in psychological assessment and wish

to develop their clinical experience within a psychologist-led private practice.

Previous experience with standardized psychological testing is preferred, although opportunities for

additional training and supervised experience may be available for candidates with a strong

foundational understanding of assessment.

Position Overview

The successful candidate would work alongside a licensed psychologist, assisting with the

administration and scoring of standardized psychological measures. The psychologist would retain

responsibility for clinical interviewing, diagnostic formulation, interpretation, feedback, and final

report preparation.

Responsibilities may include:

• Administering standardized cognitive, academic achievement, memory, attention, executive

functioning, and other psychological measures.

• Scoring assessment protocols and preparing organized results for clinical review.

• Recording detailed behavioural observations during assessment sessions.

• Maintaining assessment materials, protocols, and confidential documentation.

• Assisting with assessment preparation and coordination as appropriate.

Training and Professional Development

Candidates with prior experience administering standardized measures, such as the WISC, WAIS,

WIAT, WRAML, and related instruments, will be given preference.

However, applicants who have completed relevant coursework or possess foundational knowledge of

psychological assessment but have limited hands-on administration experience are also encouraged to apply.

Depending on the candidate's background and experience, opportunities may be available for:

• Training in the administration and scoring of selected standardized psychological assessment

instruments.

• Supervised practice and feedback to strengthen assessment administration skills.

• Developing familiarity with psychoeducational assessment procedures and behavioural

observations.

• Exposure to the broader psychological assessment process, including clinical formulation and

interpretation.

Training and assigned responsibilities will be tailored to the candidate's demonstrated competence,

applicable test publisher requirements, and professional supervision standards.

Research and Academic Opportunities

Depending on the successful candidate's interests, experience, and availability, there may also be

opportunities to participate in academic research projects focused on sexual health, sexuality, and

related areas of psychological functioning.

Potential activities may include:

• Contributing to the preparation and development of academic manuscripts.

• Assisting with literature reviews, data management, and research-related activities.

• Collaborating on conference abstracts, posters, and presentations.

• Opportunities for scholarly contributions and authorship, where appropriate and consistent with

the nature and extent of involvement.

Research involvement would be optional and separate from the core psychometrist responsibilities.

These opportunities may be particularly appealing to individuals considering further graduate training

or pursuing academic and clinical careers in psychology.

Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree in psychology or a related discipline is required; current graduate

enrolment or completed graduate training in clinical, school, counselling, or neuropsychology

is strongly preferred.

• Familiarity with standardized psychological assessment measures, including the WISC, WAIS,

WIAT, WRAML, or related instruments, is preferred but not essential.

• Previous experience in psychoeducational or neuropsychological assessment is considered an

asset.

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to establish rapport with children, adolescents, and

adults.

• Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and commitment to standardized

administration procedures.

• Demonstrated understanding of professional boundaries, confidentiality, and ethical practice.

• Interest in psychological research, particularly sexual health, is considered an asset but is not

required.

Position Details

• Location: Fairview / West Broadway, Vancouver (in person).

• Start date: Early 2027, with flexibility.

• Schedule: Initially approximately one day per week, with opportunities for additional

assessment days as demand grows.

• Compensation: Competitive, commensurate with experience and qualifications; arrangement

to be discussed.

• Supervision: Clinical oversight and supervision provided by a licensed psychologist,

consistent with applicable professional requirements.

This position offers an opportunity to develop practical assessment skills, contribute to the growth of a psychological assessment service, and potentially gain experience in academic research and scholarly dissemination.

How to Apply

Interested candidates are invited to submit a résumé or CV and a brief letter outlining their educational background, assessment experience, familiarity with standardized testing instruments, availability, and compensation expectations.

Applicants with limited direct testing experience are encouraged to describe relevant coursework,

assessment training, and their interest in developing psychometric administration skills.

Candidates are also welcome to highlight any research interests or previous scholarly experience.
