If you do not have an OSCE/ECA certification in Newborn Hearing Screening, you would need to commit to obtaining a Level 3 Health Screener Diploma within 18 months (fully paid for by the service).

The post holder will act under the leadership and management of the NHSP Local Manager and be responsible for carrying out hearing screening on babies in both inpatient and outpatient settings as required.

The post holder will also have shared responsibility in ensuring the recording, collection and data quality of all patient data for the service.

The post holder will carry out the necessary administrative tasks associated with the patient journey.

The post holder will be expected to work as part of a team, altering working patterns to accommodate the changing needs of the service, across 7 days a week, 365 days a year with regular working during weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), bank and public holidays including on Christmas day.
