A fantastic opportunity has arisen for two locum Audiologists to join the team at Aneurin Bevan Local Health Board in Newport. We are seeking one Band 5 Audiologist and one Band 6/7 Audiologist to cover weekend shifts, starting in mid-December for an initial 3-4 month period. The Band 5 Audiologist will primarily support basic direct access and ENT work, while the Band 6/7 Audiologist will focus on direct access for unilateral tinnitus patients.

You will perform detailed audiological assessments, including tinnitus pitch matching, masking, and counseling, and work closely with patients to provide personalized management strategies for tinnitus relief. This role will also involve providing advice and support for patients with hearing-related issues and ensuring high-quality care in a multidisciplinary setting. Both roles will require close collaboration with other healthcare professionals and a commitment to providing excellent patient care, particularly in a weekend service delivery context.
