Senior Paediatric Audiologist – Band 7

An opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic Paediatric Audiologist to join our friendly, flexible, multidisciplinary Paediatric Audiology team at Hertfordshire Community Trust Audiology on a permanent basis. This post offers excellent opportunities to consolidate your rehabilitation and advance your auditory diagnostic skills. In addition, the post will endeavour to develop your leadership and management skills.

You will have a BSc/MSc in Audiology (or equivalent) and will also be RCCP/AHCS registered. We encourage CPD and further training will be provided as per the post holder’s needs and service needs. 

The Children’s Hearing service provides second and third tier services to children and young people living within the West Hertfordshire area. There are three sites from which clinics are held and the post holder will be expected to cover clinics at all three sites as needed, therefore a full valid driving license and access to a car to use regularly for business purposes is essential (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010). Whichever site is closest to you will be listed as your main site.

This post will also need to cover the wider system of Herts and West Essex as required to support mutual aid requirements in the form of appointments and leadership.
