Job Overview

Following an expansion of our nationally recognised service, we are seeking a motivated Paediatric Audiologist to join our team at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. This role balances high level clinical practice with opportunities for service development, ideal for an audiologist committed to evidence based (re)habilitation and clinical excellence. You will join a forward thinking department that prioritises professional growth and the continuous improvement of paediatric pathways.

Main duties of the job

As Paediatric Audiologist you will be responsible for leading and assisting on behavioural hearing assessment clinics for children aged 6 months and above, as well as conducting new paediatric hearing aid fittings and routine hearing aid reviews.

With the planned expansion of the service an additional satellite site location is being sought within Bromley, Bexley or Greenwich.

We champion modern working patterns and the majority of the clinical team work compressed hours (08 00) across 4 days to support work life balance. Typically, the post holder would be based at St Thomas' 2 3 days a week and at a satellite clinic 1 2 days a week.
