Full-Time | Charlotte, NC (University or Huntersville) | $100,000+ Based on experience

Autism 360 is seeking a Licensed Psychologist (LP) to join our clinical team in a role intentionally focused on autism diagnostic evaluations.

ABOUT AUTISM 360

Autism 360 is a clinically driven ABA organization built with intention. Our model prioritizes ethical care, clinical quality, and long-term sustainability for both families and clinicians.

We operate modern, thoughtfully designed centers across the Greater Charlotte area that support high-quality assessments and services. Our clinical systems are structured to reduce noise, protect clinician time, and allow providers to focus on the work that matters most.

At Autism 360, we believe clarity creates quality. We are intentional about who we serve, how we practice, and how we support our clinicians.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

This position is designed to support accurate, ethical autism diagnoses while ensuring families receive clear guidance and appropriate next steps.

The Licensed Psychologist’s primary responsibility is to conduct autism diagnostic evaluations for children whose presenting concerns are consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorder. When assessment findings indicate that a child does not meet criteria for an autism diagnosis, the expectation is to provide clear clinical feedback and refer the family to an external provider for further evaluation or alternative diagnoses.

This role is not intended to provide diagnostic services for conditions outside of autism, such as ADHD or other behavioral or developmental disorders. Maintaining this focused scope allows the Licensed Psychologist to work at the top of their license, preserve clinical integrity, and dedicate their time to evaluations aligned with Autism 360’s clinical services.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

· Conduct comprehensive, evidence-based autism diagnostic evaluations

· Complete in-person assessments

· Utilize standardized diagnostic tools and clinical judgment to determine ASD criteria

· Communicate findings clearly and compassionately to families

· Refer out cases that do not meet criteria for autism diagnosis

· Produce timely, high-quality diagnostic reports

· Collaborate with clinical leadership to ensure consistency and quality across assessments

REQUIRED CREDENTIALS

· Licensed Psychologist (LP) in the state of North Carolina (or license-eligible)

· Doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) in Psychology from an accredited program

· Formal training and experience in autism diagnostic assessment

· Proficiency with standardized tools such as ADOS-2, ADI-R, or equivalent

· Eligibility to practice in compliance with state and federal regulations

IDEAL BACKGROUND

· Experience conducting pediatric autism evaluations

· Comfort working in a center-based, onsite clinical model

· Strong diagnostic judgment and confidence setting clinical boundaries

· Clear, empathetic communication style with families

· Ability to work independently while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams

POSITION DETAILS

· Full- time, salaried role

· Competitive salary starting at $100K based on experience

· Onsite position within the Greater Charlotte area

· Assessment- focused scope with no therapy caseload

BENEFITS

· Competitive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance

· Paid time off and paid holidays

· Professional development and continuing education support

· Stable, full-time schedule with a defined scope of work

· Supportive clinical leadership and collaborative work environment
