Senior Paediatric Audiologist

An exciting opportunity has arisen for the right candidate to join our audiology service . You should be a motivated and experienced audiologist who is keen to develop your skills and help advance the Audiology Department at Kettering General Hospital.

Our Paediatric and Adult Audiology services operate within the same department, although this is a predominantly paediatric role, seeing UHN patients at our Kettering site.

The candidate will be expected to perform age-appropriate audiological testing on children from 6 months
-18 years. Experience in objective testing methods would be welcome.

We are looking for someone to lead in Visual Reinforcement clinics, making clinical decision based on results.

The candidate will also be required to perform paediatric habilitative verification and validation for children hearing aid fittings.

The candidate must be able to show empathy and an ability to explain results to parents/carers in a clear and sensitive manner.

Adult assessment and rehabilitation experience will also be welcome, as where necessary completion of direct referrals, fittings, repairs and ENT cover may be required.

Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest employers in the area and we are on an exciting journey. Our mission is to provide safe, compassionate, and clinically excellent patient care, by being an outstanding employer for our people. We have entered into a Group Model with neighbouring Northampton General Hospital and have become University Hospitals of Northamptonshire and this role forms part of that new collaboration.
