1. Assist in paediatric audiology clinics, including Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA).
2. Maintain accurate patient records using electronic systems (e.g. Auditbase, SystmOne).
3. Build rapport and communicate effectively with children, young people, and their families.
4. Perform Stage A calibration checks.
5. Support the smooth running of audiology clinics and work flexibly with the team.

4. Ability to work well in a multidisciplinary team and with diverse patient groups.
5. Strong organizational and IT skills.

This is a part-time role working 30 hours across the week. There is the option for a structured but flexible working pattern during the service hours of 8:30am - 5:30pm.

While your main base will be St Martin's Hospital, Bath, travel to various community clinics within the service area will be required.

6. Access to eLearning, bespoke career pathways and opportunities for continuing professional development through our 'Outstanding' learning and development team, The Learning Enterprise.
