Graduate Paediatric Audiologist

Following an expansion of our nationally recognised service, we are seeking a motivated Audiologist to join our team at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. This post is specifically designed as a developmental gateway for an early-career professional or a recent graduate looking to specialise in the paediatric field.

As a Band 5 Graduate Paediatric Audiologist, you will benefit from a structured internal training programme covering paediatric assessment and (re) habilitation for children from 6 months of age. You will initially work alongside our senior clinicians, gaining exposure to specialist cases and evidence-based protocols, before transitioning to an independent caseload as your competencies develop. Joining this UKAS-accredited, forward-thinking department offers an unparalleled opportunity to build a robust clinical foundation within a nationally recognised centre of excellence.

This predominantly clinical role offers experience across a comprehensive range of paediatric assessments and (re) habilitation challenges. Your journey will begin with a structured training focus on behavioural hearing assessments for children aged five and over, providing a solid foundation before expanding into complex assessments for younger children and infants. As your clinical competencies evolve, you will take on increasing responsibility for leading and assisting in clinics for children from six months of age, including the management of routine hearing aid reviews and supporting new paediatric fittings.

Beyond your core clinical caseload, you will contribute to the ongoing evolution of the department through service development responsibilities, ensuring our pathways remain at the frontiers of the profession.

Alongside our main site at St Thomas' we run clinics at our satellite sites in Grace Gardens (Lambeth), Sunshine House (Southwark), Kaleidoscope (Lewisham) and Acorns, Queen Mary's Hospital (Sidcup).

We are committed to fostering a healthy work-life balance and champion modern working patterns; the majority of our clinical team operates on a compressed four-day week (08:00–18:00). Typically, your week will be balanced between 2–3 days at St Thomas' and 1–2 days at a satellite clinic, offering a diverse and stimulating working environment.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ Paediatric Audiology Service is the largest of its kind in the UK, operating as a non‑medical consultant‑led centre of excellence. We are proud to be a UKAS Accredited Medical Diagnostic Service (No. 9980), a testament to our commitment to the highest clinical standards and quality assurance. Joining us means working at the forefront of the profession within a supportive, innovation‑driven culture that provides a robust platform for the next stage of your clinical or managerial career.
