Join The Genius Team: Role For Psychology Graduates

At Genius, we don’t recruit people who are merely looking for a job; we’re looking for people who want to make a real difference in a child’s life and who believe in the power of education to do just that.

Psychology graduate? Explore educational leadership

The Education Leader role is full-time salaried employment with training, never an internship. It is well suited to psychology graduates: have a real impact by coaching and mentoring students individually, work with students’ teachers and psychologists to ensure their success, and connect with families to assess their children’s needs.

“Becoming a part of the Genius team has been absolutely life-changing! Who knew that growth could be this exponential? Genius has equipped me with a new learning and growth-focused outlook on life. I’ve learned to reflect, adapt and apply myself in various contexts. The skills that I’ve acquired and the multi-disciplinary professionals I’ve collaborated with are promoting my development as a professional in the educational and psychological field.”
