Job Description

ChildServe is looking for a Pediatric Neuropsychologist to join our growing team and help shape the future of pediatric neuropsychology at Iowa’s only children’s specialty hospital.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Neuropsychologist who wants to do more than step into the role. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help build and expand our neuropsychology program while providing comprehensive evaluations for children and adolescents with a wide range of developmental, behavioral, medical, and neurological needs.

Why ChildServe

At ChildServe, you’ll be part of a collaborative pediatric specialty organization where neuropsychology is connected to a much larger team. You’ll work alongside physicians, psychologists, therapists, nurses, and other specialists who are all focused on helping children reach their fullest potential.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Help shape and grow an expanding pediatric neuropsychology program.
• Provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for children and adolescents.
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of pediatric specialists.
• Build strong relationships with children and families.
• Help develop services and processes as the program continues to grow.
• Work in an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and clinical excellence.

Whether you’re an experienced pediatric neuropsychologist or an early career clinician looking for an opportunity to make your mark, we’d love to talk with you.

Why You'll Love Living Here

We know that considering a move is a big decision, especially when you’re moving for a career. Des Moines offers a combination that can be hard to find: a growing community, affordable cost of living, great neighborhoods and schools, and plenty to do without the traffic and commute of a larger metropolitan area.

You can enjoy a short commute, access to parks and trails, restaurants, arts and entertainment, and a family-friendly community while still having many of the amenities you’d expect from a larger city.

If you’re considering a move to the Midwest, we’d love to help you get to know Des Moines and see what life here could look like for you. Learn more about the Des Moines area: https://www.greaterdsmusa.com/

• Board Certified in Pediatric Neuropsychology or willing to obtain. Licensed as a psychologist in Iowa.
• Two years of licensed practice experience preferred. Open to considering early-career pediatric neuropsychologists.
• Post-doctoral training in neurodevelopmental assessment, expertise in assessment of autism and neurodevelopmental.
• Ability to work collaboratively as part of an interdisciplinary team.
• Commitment to providing compassionate, family-centered care.
• Ability to lift up to 35 lbs, be mobile within the assigned work area, and frequently bend, lift, reach, and stand. 

What We Offer

• Full-time opportunity.
• Monday through Friday schedule.
• Collaborative pediatric specialty environment.
• Opportunity to help build and shape a growing program.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• $10,000 sign-on or relocation bonus. $2,500 referral bonus if you refer a pediatric neuropsychologist who is hired.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a difference clinically while also helping shape the future of pediatric neuropsychology, we’d love to connect.

And if you’re not currently in Iowa, don’t let the move stop you from starting a conversation. We’re happy to help you learn more about ChildServe, the opportunity, and what living in the Des Moines area could look like for you.
