An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated Audiologist to work providing Audiology Services within the Grampian region. The post-holder will be based in Aberdeen but shall also participate in peripheral clinics throughout Grampian.
The department has a friendly team of committed Audiologists with a wide range of responsibilities, covering the entirety of Audiological provision for adults and children throughout Grampian. Specific clinical services provided include all aspects of adult assessment and rehabilitation; as well as Hearing Therapy for complex cases; Tinnitus and Hyperacusis clinics; BAHA and Vestibular Assessment and Rehabilitation; as well as paediatric assessment and rehabilitation.
The successful applicant will deliver effective care and may have scope to develop their skills in clinical sub-specialties of particular interest to them. The applicant should hold a BSc in Audiology or equivalent and AHCS registration is preferred. The post will have an emphasis towards adult clinics, including peripheral-based activity, as well as tinnitus and hyperacusis practice, whereby experience would be a highly desirable attribute. Experience in paediatric practice would also be desirable, although not essential for the post.
The department would consider applications from Audiologists with less experience who would be employed under Annex 21 Agenda for Change with the aim of delivering comprehensive training to develop sub-specialty skills and progress to full band 6 within 1 year.
This area of Scotland is particularly rich in natural beauty with numerous opportunities for outdoor recreational activities. Aberdeen has excellent transport links to the rest of the UK and beyond.
