This job will involve carrying out routine and complex work in the Audiology department and outstations across all trust sites. The role will include work in both the Adult and Paediatric Service.

This is an excellent opportunity for a caring individual with outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to utilise and further develop their expertise in audiological care.

The ability to work as part of a team or independently is essential, as is being able to manage a busy and varied workload.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient.

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors.

The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
