Clinical Neuropsychologist at BrainLab Psychology Group in Ontario

Job Summary

BrainLab Psychology Group is seeking a Clinical Neuropsychologist registered for autonomous practice in Ontario to provide specialized neuropsychological assessment services as an independent contractor.

This opportunity is designed for clinicians who enjoy assessment work but prefer not to manage the referrals, billing, scheduling, technology, and administrative responsibilities involved in operating a separate private practice.

BrainLab provides referral and intake coordination, secure clinical systems, assessment platforms and materials, administrative support, and access to psychometrists who can conduct in-person testing. This allows neuropsychologists to complete appropriate assessment components remotely, including clinical interviews, record reviews, test interpretation, diagnostic formulation, and report writing, while arranging in-person test administration when required.

Clinicians retain control over their availability, preferred caseload, client populations, and the referrals they accept.

The position includes opportunities for clinical neuropsychological assessments, as well as higher-compensated independent neuropsychological examinations (IMEs), disability evaluations, and medico-legal assessments.

Compensation ranges from $180 to $275 per professional hour, depending on the assessment type and complexity. Agreed-upon professional work is compensated, including interviewing, record review, personally administered testing and scoring, interpretation, diagnostic formulation, report writing, feedback, and clinically necessary consultation and documentation.

The role offers remote work throughout Ontario, with optional in-person opportunities in Ottawa and Toronto. Psychometrists are available for appropriate in-person testing components, subject to clinical requirements, and scheduling. Clinicians retain responsibility for determining suitable assessment methods and overseeing delegated work.

This opportunity may be particularly well suited to neuropsychologists seeking to supplement an existing hospital, rehabilitation, academic, or private-practice position, or those interested in developing a consistent assessment caseload.

Position Details

• Job Type: Independent contractor
• Location: Remote within Ontario, with optional in-person work in Ottawa and Toronto
• Schedule: Flexible and determined by clinician availability
• Caseload: Flexible, with no mandatory minimum
• Standard Clinical Assessments: $180.00 per professional hour
• Neuropsychological IMEs: $250.00 per professional hour
• Complex Neuropsychological IMEs: Up to $275.00 per professional hour, depending on complexity and agreed scope

The anticipated assessment scope, professional hours, reporting expectations, and compensation are established before each referral is accepted.

Assessment Opportunities

Depending on the clinician's authorized areas of practice, client populations, and competencies, referrals may include:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, and acquired brain injury assessments
• Memory, attention, executive functioning, and other cognitive assessments
• Cognitive impairment associated with neurological or medical conditions
• Mild cognitive impairment and suspected neurodegenerative disorders
• Complex neuropsychological and differential-diagnostic assessments
• Independent neuropsychological and psychological examinations (IMEs)

Clinicians may work with adults, children and adolescents, or across the lifespan, depending on their professional authorization and competence. Applicants are not expected to provide every assessment type or accept every referral.

Previous IME or medico-legal experience is an asset but is not required.

Responsibilities

• Review referrals and develop individualized assessment plans based on presenting concerns and referral questions
• Conduct clinical interviews and review relevant medical, neurological, psychological, educational, and occupational records
• Select appropriate neuropsychological and psychological measures and determine suitable administration methods

• Evaluate cognitive functioning, including attention, memory, executive functioning, processing speed, language, and visuospatial abilities
• Integrate psychometric findings, behavioural observations, clinical history, and collateral information, including performance and symptom validity considerations
• Develop evidence-informed diagnostic formulations, differential diagnoses, and clinically meaningful recommendations
• Prepare clear, comprehensive, objective, and professionally defensible assessment reports
• Provide feedback and recommendations concerning treatment, rehabilitation, accommodations, disability, and functional limitations
• Maintain timely clinical documentation and professional communication

For independent and medico-legal assessments, clinicians retain full professional responsibility and independence for their findings, interpretations, conclusions, and opinions.

Opportunities for expert consultation, testimony, or other legal proceedings may also be available by mutual agreement, with compensation arranged separately.

Qualifications

Applicants must have:

• Current registration with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO) as a Psychologist or Psychological Associate
• A certificate of registration authorizing autonomous practice, with Clinical Neuropsychology as an authorized area of practice

• Sound independent clinical judgment, strong organizational skills, and effective professional communication
• Current professional liability insurance and registration in good standing
• An appropriate confidential environment for remote clinical work
