Work with us

Help children achieve their potential by first learning to understand them.

At geniuslane we bring together doctors, psychologists, play specialists, managers, reception teams and technology to understand each child as an individual. We are looking for people who are curious, compassionate, accountable and willing to keep learning.

Experience with children is valuable. For many roles we are just as interested in people with the right attitude who genuinely want to develop the skills — what cannot be taught is whether you care what happens to the child in front of you.

Our purpose

Our vision

Every child should have the opportunity to achieve their best potential, because the people around them understand how that child learns, communicates, develops and experiences the world.

We want a system in which clinical expertise, developmental understanding, parents, schools and technology work together rather than in isolation — because a child does not experience those things separately, and neither should their care.

Children should not be defined by a diagnosis. A label is useful shorthand for clinicians and it can unlock support. It is a poor description of a child.

So we set out to understand

  • who the child is
  • their strengths
  • their developmental profile
  • their medical and neurological needs
  • how they communicate
  • their emotional needs
  • the environment they live and learn in
  • and what needs to change around them for them to thrive
What we are building

Our mission

To build a multidisciplinary workforce capable of understanding a child properly and then doing something useful with that understanding.

A workforce that can provide

  • high-quality clinical assessment
  • accurate diagnosis
  • appropriate medical management
  • developmental profiling
  • psychological assessment
  • evidence-informed intervention
  • parent education
  • school support
  • family empowerment
  • ongoing measurement of progress
  • and safe, accountable care

Every member of staff — clinical or not — shapes what a family experiences. The receptionist who takes the first call, the play specialist who notices what a child does when nobody is asking anything of them, the manager who makes sure the follow-up actually happens: none of that is peripheral to the care. It is the care.

Our culture

Who thrives at geniuslane

  • genuine interest in children and families
  • compassion, without losing professional boundaries
  • curiosity
  • willingness to learn
  • reliability
  • clear communication
  • the ability to receive feedback
  • the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
  • respect for neurodiversity
  • awareness of safeguarding
  • accurate documentation
  • accountability for your own work
  • willingness to use digital systems
  • willingness to complete training
  • and a commitment to keep developing

We do not expect anyone to arrive knowing the geniuslane model. We do expect you to be willing to learn it, and to demonstrate competency before practising independently.

Development

What you will learn

Training at geniuslane runs through geniuslane Learning, and completing it is not the same as being competent to practise.

  1. 1
    Assigned learning
  2. 2
    Taught content
  3. 3
    Knowledge check
  4. 4
    Practical training
  5. 5
    Observed competency
  6. 6
    Supervisor sign-off
  7. 7
    Qualified for that function

For anything that matters, a module is not complete because somebody pressed play. There is a knowledge check, then practical training, then observed practice, and then an authorised supervisor signs the competency off. A manager cannot sign off a clinical competency they are not authorised to assess — line management and clinical supervision are separate things in our system, because they are separate things in reality.

Each role has its own competency matrix: the mandatory knowledge, the mandatory training, the competencies themselves, optional development, how often each is renewed, who is authorised to assess it and what evidence is required. That matrix generates your learning plan rather than somebody assembling one by hand.

Induction → training → competency → supervision → appraisal → development plan → reassessment. You can see what you have completed and what is next, and so can the person supervising you.

Working with children

Safeguarding

Anyone whose role involves children, or access to sensitive information about children, completes the appropriate identity, employment and safeguarding checks before being given unsupervised responsibility.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.

United Kingdom

An Enhanced DBS check where the role is eligible for one and requires it. Eligibility is set in law and depends on the role, so it is determined per post rather than applied to everybody as a formality.

India

Police and background verification appropriate to the role, alongside geniuslane's own safeguarding process.

Elsewhere

The equivalent legally applicable process for that country, matched to the role and the level of contact with children.

Depending on the role, this may include

  • identity verification
  • right-to-work verification
  • professional registration verification, where the role requires registration
  • qualification verification
  • employment history
  • references
  • safeguarding declarations
  • an Enhanced DBS or the local equivalent, where appropriate to the role
  • professional indemnity, where applicable
  • conflict-of-interest declarations
  • confidentiality and data protection agreements
  • and completion of geniuslane's mandatory safeguarding training

What is required depends on the country, the role, professional status and how much contact the post has with children. We will tell you which of these apply to the role you are applying for rather than asking for everything up front.

Your journey

Joining geniuslane is not simply getting a job

Every team member enters a structured system of learning, competency, supervision and accountability — because the quality of the team decides the quality of the care.

  1. STEP 1

    Apply

    Tell us about yourself. No account needed, and no CV portal to register for first.

  2. STEP 2

    Meet us

    A conversation about the role, what you want to learn, and whether we are a fit for each other.

  3. STEP 3

    Verification

    Identity, qualifications, references, registration and the safeguarding checks the role requires.

  4. STEP 4

    Onboarding

    Your staff record, your centre, your reporting manager and your first assignments.

  5. STEP 5

    Learn

    The curriculum for your role in geniuslane Learning — taught content and knowledge checks, not videos to sit through.

  6. STEP 6

    Demonstrate competency

    Observed practice, signed off by an authorised supervisor. Finishing the training is not the same as being competent, and we do not treat it as though it were.

  7. STEP 7

    Join your team

    Independent practice in the functions you have been signed off for.

  8. STEP 8

    Supervision & appraisal

    A rolling record rather than an annual form: objectives, training, supervision and review.

  9. STEP 9

    Keep developing

    Reassessment, refreshers and the next thing you want to be good at.
