Newborn Hearing Screener

2 weeks ago


Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The NHS Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (NHSP) aims to identify moderate, severe and profound hearing impairment in newborn babies. Early identification of hearing impairment gives children a better chance of developing speech and language skills, and of making the most of social and emotional interaction from an early age.

We are looking for a flexible and friendly individual with excellent communication skills. You will show initiative in your work within our small team covering a wide area of Somerset.

You will be performing hearing screening on newborn babies on maternity wards in Musgrove Park Hospital and Yeovil District Hospital. We also offer community out-patient clinics across Somerset as well as visiting families at home.
