There is an ongoing need for relief/contract psychologists at state correctional facilities including the state facility at Folsom/Represa. The state of California is seeking several psychologists for 4x10, or 5x8 hour weeks for six months of coverage. The client has had difficulty filling these positions which is adding flexibility in hours and increasing the pay. This is a forensic facility, and the patients are forensic patients. These are relief positions, which means that there is little flexibility for sick or vacation time during the relief assignment. A criminal background check, drug test, and CALPERS affidavit will be part of the hiring process. Doctors currently working in the state prison system will require review and approval for vendor swap. CALPERS positive candidates may need to cash out to be eligible, or consider union/civil service positions rather than relief assignments. An active license to practice psychology in California is required. The applicant must be authorized to work in the USA. Funk and Associates is owned by a relief psychiatrist and our goal is to deliver as much of the company's rate to the doctor as possible. As a result, expenses are borne by the candidate, unless alternate arrangements are made. Calling out or inability to complete shifts is subject to a penalty from the client. Additionally for the top rate, the candidate will be paid when FAA is paid, typically 80 days after invoicing. Faster payment is subject to approval and will affect the rate. Advances are negotiable for new hires. One week of orientation is required by the facility and paid at half the patient care rate.
