An  opportunity is available in the Audiology department at PAH for an Audiologist to come and work in our friendly team. We work across three sites in Epping, Harlow and Bishops Stortford and travel to all three sites is essential.

We benefit from being a training department and currently have 1 STP, 1 BSc and 1 MSc Student.

We also run Paediatric Assessment and Rehabilitation and we encourage rotation through our Paediatric Service for all our staff to gain new skills, where possible, depending on the needs of the service at the time.

We are particularly keen to hear from new graduates but of course welcome applications from experienced staff as well.
