Student Audiologist

Are you looking to start a career in Audiology? Do you want to learn on the job whilst qualifying as a Clinical Physiologist at University? Do you want to move somewhere where they want to invest in you and develop you? We are looking to recruit our next round of students.

**Main duties of the job**

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Audiology team where over 4 years you will be trained in all aspects of adult audiology and be given insight into paediatric audiology and other specialist areas such as tinnitus and vestibular clinics.

You will learn how to support patients with hearing loss with assessments, hearing aid management, follow ups, hearing aid repairs and supporting Ear Nose and Throat clinics. You will have hands on training over 4 years to gradually train you in all of these areas and more. Two days per week you will be released to University to do both online and face to face learning to qualify as a clinical physiologist and be able to register as a qualified Audiologist once you graduate.

This post is being advertised in accordance with Annex 21 paragraph 2(iii), where periods of training last for between

one and four years, pay will be adjusted as follows:

- up to 12 months prior to completion of training: 75 per cent of the pay band maximum of the fully qualified rate;
- more than one but less than two years prior to completion of training: 70 per cent of the pay band maximum of the qualified rate;
- more than two but less than three years prior to completion of training: 65 per cent of the pay band maximum for the qualified rate;
- more than three years from completion of training: 60 per cent of the pay band maximum for the qualified rate.

**Therefore, you will start at 60% of the maximum Band 5 salary, increasing as above with each year of your training. You will then start at the lowest point of Band 5 salary upon completion of your training.**

Your performance must comply with the national “Mandatory Induction Standards for Healthcare Support Workers 2009” and with the Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers.
