ABOUT THE ROLE

The classroom is where mental health journeys often begin — and where early intervention can change the entire trajectory of a young life. At Bonse Hub, our Bonse Young Minds programme is taking mental wellness directly into Zambian schools, and we need a passionate, skilled educational psychologist to lead that charge. If you understand how children learn, struggle, and grow — and you believe every learner deserves to be seen and supported — this role is your calling.

"You will be the primary bridge between Bonse Wellness and Zambia's education system — working with schools, teachers, parents, and learners to create environments where young minds can genuinely thrive."

What You'll Do

• Conduct educational and psychological assessments for learners experiencing academic, behavioural, emotional, or developmental challenges
• Design and deliver school-based mental wellness programmes under the Bonse Young Minds banner — from primary through secondary level
• Work with teachers and school leadership to build psychologically safe, inclusive classroom environments
• Provide individual and group counselling support to learners, and guidance to parents navigating their child's challenges
• Identify and support learners with learning difficulties, neurodevelopmental conditions, and special educational needs
• Collaborate with the broader Bonse Wellness clinical team — referring complex cases to our psychologist or psychiatrist as needed
• Develop psychoeducation materials for students, parents, and educators tailored to the Zambian cultural and school context
• Deliver virtual consultations and follow-up support through the Bonse Wellness digital platform
• Track programme outcomes and contribute to Bonse's evidence base for youth mental health intervention in Zambia

What We're Looking For

• Master's degree in Educational Psychology or a closely related field — this is a specialist role requiring postgraduate qualification
• Registered with the Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ) or eligible to register as an educational psychologist
• Minimum 2 years of experience working with children and young people in educational or clinical settings
• Solid experience conducting psychoeducational assessments and translating results into practical, school-friendly recommendations
• Comfortable engaging with multiple stakeholders — learners, parents, teachers, school administrators, and clinicians
• Deep understanding of Zambia's education system, the challenges facing learners, and the cultural factors that shape children's wellbeing
• Young, energetic, and genuinely excited by working with young people every single day
• Creative problem-solver who can design engaging, age-appropriate interventions that resonate with Zambian youth

Bonus

• Experience with neurodevelopmental assessments — ADHD, autism spectrum, dyslexia, and related learning profiles
• Background in trauma-informed education or working with learners from vulnerable or marginalised backgrounds
• Experience designing teacher training or capacity-building workshops on mental health in schools
• Familiarity with digital health tools, e-learning platforms, or youth-focused mental health apps
• Multilingual — fluency in Bemba, Nyanja, or other local languages is a significant advantage when working in Zambian schools

Why Bonse Hub?

• Own and shape the Bonse Young Minds programme — this is a founding role with genuine influence over how it grows
• Work within a full multidisciplinary clinical team — psychiatrist, psychologist, counsellors, and nutritionists — all under one ecosystem
• Reach learners both in the classroom and through our digital platform, multiplying your impact beyond any single school
• Join a proudly Zambian company expanding across other African countries — your work today shapes the continental model for tomorrow
• A culture that celebrates innovation, cultural relevance, and the courage to do things differently
