The East Sussex newborn hearing screening service is a small, friendly and experienced team that provides newborn hearing screening to babies across East Sussex.
The service offers 6 day a week coverage and therefore there is a requirement to work regular weekends and bank holidays at an enhanced pay rate.
The team is based at the Conquest Hospital with a requirement to work at outpatient clinics across East Sussex at various locations.
