Trosolwg o'r swydd

The Auditory Implant Programme in Oxford is expanding and we are looking for a 0.9WTE Band 6 audiologist to specialise in Bone Anchored Hearing solutions and Middle Ear Implants.  The Oxford Auditory Implant Programme provides an assessment, surgical, fitting and follow up service for adults and children in the region who cannot wear or do not gain adequate benefit from standard hearing aids.

You will join a team of Clinical Scientists, Audiologists and will work closely with ENT colleagues to provide this specialist service. The post holder will also be a member of the wider audiology team which includes both adult and paediatric audiology. Some clinical work in these areas may be possible for the interested candidate.

Although the post is funded as 0.9WTE, we would welcome applications from clinicians interested in other part-time contract hours.

You will be an Audiologist or a Clinical Scientist (Audiology) registered with the Academy of Healthcare Science or the Health and Care Professions Council (registered as a Clinical Scientist).

The post will involve remote working on average for 1 day per week (once fully trained) and the post holder must be able to work Monday, Thursdays, and Fridays. Flexible hours and working patterns may be accommodated beyond this.
