Job summary

Are you an audiologist looking for an exciting opportunity to develop your career in paediatric audiology? This is a great time to join Paediatric Audiology at UHDB.

We are expanding our team, and this new Band 6 post represents growth within our service rather than a replacement vacancy. We have benefited from significant investment in our facilities and are developing a new, state-of-the-art paediatric audiology department, as part of our ambition to provide an excellent, patient-centred service for children, young people and their families.

We are equally committed to investing in our people and actively believe in growing our own. Professional development is central to our department. We support three STP trainees, staff undertaking HST modules and an HSST trainee, within a strong culture of learning, supervision and ongoing development. We are looking for an enthusiastic audiologist who holds an undergraduate degree in audiology and appropriate professional registration, and who wants to develop their career in paediatric audiology.

You will join an experienced and supportive team, with opportunities to develop your clinical skills and contribute to quality improvement, service development and our journey towards IQIPS accreditation. If you want to join a service that is growing, investing and looking to the future, we would love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

The main purpose of this role is to provide a range of clinical care working in one or more specialist areas of Paediatric Audiology. The post holder will regularly work across sites and alone at outstations. The post holder will be responsible for maintaining clinical records in relation to the activities carried out. The post holder will also supervise or train less experienced staff and be a point of contact for junior staff regarding routine cases, and provide advice regarding the specialist area(s) they work in. The post holder may also lead a team working in a specialist area.

Closing date of applications: 18 November 2026

Date of interview: 2 December 2026
