Overview
Join our large, friendly team within the Audiology Department at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals Foundation Trust and enjoy a variety of work in a complex audiology service. We have over 45 staff, including senior assistant audiologists, associate audiologists, audiologists, Clinical Scientists, hearing therapists, and a newborn hearing screening team, all supported by an excellent administrative team.
The department offers adult rehabilitative services, tinnitus and hearing therapy, a newborn hearing screening programme, paediatric assessment and (re)hab services for ages 0‑18, vestibular assessment and rehabilitation, and domiciliary work at the main NNUH site and Cromer Hospital.
We place a strong emphasis on quality, being one of the earliest UKAS‑accredited sites for Improving Quality In Physiological Services and currently accredited for our paediatric service.
Because we are not an AQP provider, this post is ideally suited to an audiologist who is comfortable with routine work and is ready to develop their skills in a complex service.
