Your Opportunity:
Child Development Services (CDS) at Alberta Children’s Hospital is seeking a Psychometrist to support children and adolescents across our diagnostic and consultative programs, including the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Diagnostic Clinic, Consultative Diagnostic Services, and Cumulative Risk Diagnostic Clinic. In this role, you will administer standardized cognitive, developmental, and achievement tests; collect behavioural and socio-emotional data; score protocols; distribute digital questionnaires; and draft sections of psychology reports, including background information and behavioural observations. You will collaborate closely with psychologists and other multidisciplinary team members, contributing to family-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive assessments. Your work ensures accurate, high-quality data to inform diagnoses, intervention planning, and recommendations for children and families. The ideal candidate has experience testing preschool and school-aged children and adolescents using tools such as the Wechsler series, Stanford Binet, and measures of attention, memory, and executive functioning.

Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and excellent verbal and written communication are critical. This is an exciting opportunity to provide essential psychometric support across a broad range of child development services, helping families access informed, evidence-based care while contributing to the collaborative work of a multidisciplinary team.
