Psychological Testing Technician
Job Description
Dr. Jackie Jiang & Associates, LLC is a structured outpatient clinical and forensic psychology practice with offices in Moline, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa. The practice provides psychological evaluations and selected forensic/court-related evaluation services for children, adolescents, and adults, with a strong focus on autism, ADHD, learning, cognitive, emotional, personality, and diagnostic clarification evaluations.
We are accepting applications for a Psychological Testing Technician position. This is a fully on-site, in-person position based in Moline, Illinois, with possible occasional coverage in Davenport, Iowa. This is not a remote or hybrid-remote position.
This role is focused on psychological testing support under the supervision of Dr. Jackie Jiang, PsyD. The position is best suited for a dependable, academically strong, detail-oriented, confidentiality-conscious candidate who is interested in psychological assessment, clinical psychology, forensic psychology, neurodevelopmental evaluation, child/adolescent mental health, or future graduate training in psychology or a related mental health field.
This is not a therapy position and not a general receptionist position. The role requires accuracy, emotional maturity, careful observation, strong documentation habits, patience with children/adolescents, respect for standardized procedures, and the ability to follow written instructions exactly. The selected candidate must be comfortable working in a structured clinical testing environment where accuracy, confidentiality, and supervision-readiness are essential.
Expected Responsibilities
Responsibilities may include preparing testing rooms, organizing testing materials, preparing testing folders, administering selected psychological testing tasks under supervision, assisting with structured behavioral observations during testing, scoring selected psychological measures according to training and written instructions, entering or organizing testing-related data, checking forms for completeness, routing testing materials accurately, maintaining confidentiality, securing testing materials, supporting child/adolescent testing procedures, documenting testing-related observations as instructed, and knowing when to stop and ask for guidance when a situation is unclear.
The Psychological Testing Technician may support evaluations involving autism, ADHD, intellectual functioning, memory, learning, executive functioning, emotional/personality functioning, and related clinical questions. All testing work is completed under supervision and within the technician’s assigned role. The technician does not independently interpret test results, diagnose clients, provide therapy, or make clinical recommendations.
Required Skills and Qualities
Strong attention to detail, reliable attendance and punctuality, professional communication, comfort working with children and adolescents, ability to follow written instructions closely, ability to maintain confidentiality, strong organization, accuracy with forms and scoring procedures, good judgment when handling sensitive client information, emotional steadiness, willingness to receive direct feedback, and interest in psychology or psychological testing.
The ideal candidate must be able to work carefully without rushing, tolerate repetitive accuracy-based tasks, remain calm when children are restless or frustrated, maintain professional boundaries, and ask for help before guessing.
Minimum Requirements
Bachelor’s degree required, preferably in psychology, human services, social work, neuroscience, education, counseling, sociology, communication sciences, healthcare administration, or a related field.
Minimum GPA of 3.5 preferred.
Must be available for fully on-site work in Moline, IL and/or Davenport, IA.
Applicants must already live within reliable commuting distance or have a definite relocation plan with a specific available start date.
Must be able to communicate professionally with clients, parents, clinicians, staff, and outside professionals.
Must be comfortable handling confidential information in a healthcare setting.
Prior experience in a psychology office, psychological testing setting, research lab, school setting, child/adolescent setting, healthcare setting, tutoring, special education, data entry, or structured documentation role is helpful but not required.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is responsible, calm, organized, teachable, accurate, and genuinely interested in psychological testing. This role may be a strong fit for someone planning to pursue graduate training in clinical psychology, school psychology, counseling psychology, neuropsychology, social work, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, education, or a related mental health or developmental field.
A strong candidate will be comfortable with structured expectations, standardized procedures, sensitive information, repetitive accuracy-based work, professional boundaries, and direct supervision. The candidate should be able to balance warmth with structure when working with children and adolescents.
Schedule
Part-time or full-time may be considered depending on candidate availability, office need, training progress, and performance.
At minimum, strong candidates should have consistent weekday afternoon availability for testing support. Preferred availability is Monday through Thursday from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.
Applicants seeking full-time work may also be considered if they are available for additional testing preparation, scoring, documentation support, and related clinical support tasks.
Availability after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays is strongly preferred.
This position requires a reliable schedule and is not suitable for candidates whose availability changes frequently due to school, internships, clinical placements, transportation limitations, or other recurring conflicts.

Benefits may be available depending on employment status, hours worked, and eligibility.
