Finding Work
If you are opening a private practice, advertise your services through local email lists and newspapers. It is advisable for new Olim to combine working in private practice with working in the public sector, since it takes time to build up a practice. It is imperative that you acquaint yourself with the relevant laws as related to practicing psychology in Israel, which are listed in their entirety online.
If you are looking for a position in the public sector, contact neighborhood schools. Other ways to look for a job include applying at the Bureau for the Placement of Professionals (Lishka LeTa’asukat Academa’im) in your city or region.
