There is a need for 12 contract/relief psychologists at the Sacramento state correctional facility. This is a state facility, but because of contract restrictions the name may not be advertised. Full time 5*8 or 4*10 is desired, but because of the need alternate schedules including 2 days per week, afternoons or nights will be considered. The facility is seeking six month commitments.

This is a forensic facility, and the patients are forensic patients. A criminal background check, drug test, and CALPERS affidavit will be part of the hiring process. Orientation is required for the secure environment, and up to 40h of orientation can be paid at half the clinical rate.

An active CA psychology license, BLS certification, and malpractice insurance is required. The applicant must be authorized to work in the USA. We can assist with these on a case-by-case basis subject to rate adjustment.

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, malpractice insurance, licensing, transport, and lodging expenses are borne by the candidate, unless alternate arrangements are made. Our rates are listed as "up to" because calling out or inability to complete shifts is subject to a penalty from the client. These relief positions exist to backfill providers who are out sick or on vacation, so a committed provider is needed. 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.
