Audiology Technical Support Officer/distractor

6 months ago


Weymouth, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Audiology Service provides NHS hearing aid services throughout Dorset.

We are looking for someone with excellent organisational skills to join our friendly team, to work as an Audiology Technical Support Officer/Distractor predominantly in our Weymouth site but the post may also involve work at our outstations in West Dorset, working alongside audiologists.

This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who wishes to gain sound experience in a very busy and friendly department. As well as our adult service we also provide services for paediatrics, balance, tinnitus, adults with learning difficulties and ENT.

The post holder will contribute to this by working on first line hearing aid repairs as their main role. Full training will be given where necessary. The role will be very varied to also encompass at times as acting as the ‘distractor’ in the paediatric service, administration, and various other job-related tasks.

Applicants must be able to communicate with adults, children and their family/carers and also be able to communicate clearly and sympathetically with hearing impaired people.

A car driver with a full current driving license is essential.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
