Job description

Are you passionate about making a meaningful difference to people’s lives through specialist healthcare? We are looking for a dedicated Audiologist to join our friendly and experienced Audiology team at Sherwood Forest Hospitals.

As an Audiologist, you’ll play a key role in providing high-quality diagnostic and rehabilitative care to adults and children, managing your own caseload and supporting patients throughout their hearing journey. You’ll undertake a comprehensive range of assessments, interpret clinical findings, provide expert advice and develop personalised hearing rehabilitation programmes tailored to each patient’s needs.

This is a varied and rewarding role where your clinical expertise and communication skills can make a real difference. You’ll work closely with patients, parents and carers, GPs, ENT clinicians and other healthcare professionals, while also contributing to the supervision and development of trainee and assistant colleagues.

With opportunities to contribute to clinical audit, research, service development and new ways of working, this role is ideal for an Audiologist who enjoys working autonomously, values evidence-based practice and is committed to delivering compassionate, patient-focused care.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
