• Support multidisciplinary working to benefit patients, including diagnostic support for ENT, social services, volunteer groups, and educational settings.
• Fit digital hearing aids and provide counselling and rehabilitation, including developing individual management plans.
• Contribute to the development of our complex adult audiology service, including diagnostic testing and in-depth rehabilitation. Previous experience in complex clinics is desirable.
• Engage in departmental audits and implement improvements as part of service development initiatives.
• Work autonomously, adhering to best practice guidelines, demonstrating excellent communication skills, and effectively managing your caseload using your initiative.
