Do you have vision and passion for ensuring children's audiology is both the best quality and best service it can be? Are you looking for a new opportunity to make a difference to children's health in 2022? Then we have the job for you.
An exciting job opportunity has arisen to get involved in all aspects of paediatric audiology. The post will involve working with children of all ages from 6 months to 25 years of age to deliver a reliable and high quality hearing assessment and hearing aid fitting service. The role will also include assessment and fitting of children with complex needs.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated audiologist to complement our friendly, hardworking team, providing the full range of community paediatric audiology services across Manchester. You must have a BSc in Audiology, or equivalent qualifications. Experience of paediatric audiological testing is essential to be considered for the post. Additional support and training can also be provided to the right candidate.
We offer a comprehensive range of rehabilitation and diagnostic services for children including Auditory Processing Disorder, single-sided deafness, Tinnitus/Hyperacusis and Vestibular services.
The role will provide plenty of opportunities for the development of skills and knowledge. You must be registered with the RCCP/HCPC.
The community paediatric audiology service is based in central Manchester, but we have clinic sites across the city including Longsight, Brownley Green, Withington Community Hospital, Burnage, and Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. Travel to different clinics will be required and car ownership and a valid driver’s licence are essential.
You will be involved in carrying out diagnostic hearing assessments, including visual reinforcement audiometry, puretone audiometry, otoscopy and tympanometry on children and young people from 6 months to 18 years, or 25 years for those with SEN.
