Audiologist

This 12-month post is to cover maternity leave. The ideal candidate will be somebody who is motivated to deliver a high-quality adult rehabilitation service to our patients. Because we are not an AQP provider, the post is ideally suited to an audiologist who is comfortable with routine work and is ready to develop their skills in a complex service. The main responsibilities include:

• Autonomous practice within adult rehabilitation clinics from assessment to hearing aid fitting and reviews
• Assessment of hearing loss in non-routine (complex) populations
• Fitting of hearing aids in non-routine (complex) populations
We host an STP trainee and would welcome the successful candidate to contribute to training. There may be a need to support more junior members of the team and provide advice and guidance to our assistant and associate audiologists. There is a strong culture of auditing our work to ensure best practice, and we would like the successful candidate to be actively involved in this work.
