Specialist Audiologist

We are looking for an enthusiastic and forward-looking Band 6 Specialist Audiologist / Clinical Scientist (Audiology) to join the Audiology Service at Oxford University Hospitals, one of the UK’s largest teaching hospitals. We provide a comprehensive diagnostic and rehabilitation service for patients with hearing loss, tinnitus and balance disorders, are a centre for paediatric audiology and have a busy Auditory Implant Programme.

This important role spans both adult and paediatric audiology services and the ratio of the two can be flexible depending on the experience, interests and expertise of the post holder, within the constraints of fulfilling our service needs. The adult aspect of the role is primarily concerned with providing a diagnostic and hearing aid rehabilitation service for adults with hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis, including non-routine patients and those with additional / complex needs. The paediatric aspect will involve both routine and non-routine hearing assessments and hearing aid provision in children of all ages. Some routine support of ENT clinics is also expected. Full training will be provided where required. You will be involved in supervising audiologists in training and will be expected to contribute to service development.

You would be joining a large team comprising Audiologists, Assistant Audiologists, Clinical Scientists (Audiology), Hearing Therapists and administrative colleagues. The service is actively involved in training and has PTP and STP trainees as well as colleagues undertaking degree apprenticeships in audiology. There is also an in-house CPD programme and all colleagues are encouraged to take advantage of training and development opportunities within the Trust and beyond. All members of the team are involved in service development as we work towards IQIPS accreditation.

You will be an Audiologist or Clinical Scientist (Audiology) with a BSc, PTP, STP or MSc in Audiology and must be registered with RCCP/ AHCS or with HCPC as a Clinical Scientist. Ideally you will have previous NHS experience in both adult and paediatric audiology. You will require excellent communication skills, a flexible approach and be a team player. You will be based at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and will be required to undertake clinics at a variety of locations around the county including in Banbury, Witney and Didcot. The department offers flexible working arrangements.
