Description

Looking for a new challenge? Are you at the point in your career where you want to gain new skills and receive intensive training and support to deliver vestibular and complex hearing support to adults with implantable devices? A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for a (Band 6) specialist audiologist to join the Vestibular and Implantable Device teams within Audiology Tayside.

NHS Tayside was one of the first health boards to offer active middle ear implants and semi - implantable bone conduction devices and have the largest practice for this in Scotland.

The service provides assessment and issue of implantable devices such as the Vibrant SoundBridge, Vibrant BoneBridge, BAHA, Ponto, ADHEAR and OSIA.

It involves multidisciplinary clinics with ENT and involvement in patient user groups.

The Vestibular team within Audiology Tayside provide direct access vestibular assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation for patients with a range of vestibular conditions including BPPV, Vestibular Neuritis, Labyrinthitis, Meniere's disease and Vestibular Migraine.

Specialist diagnostic assessment includes vHIT, Air Caloric, VNG, Rotational Chair, Computerised Dynamic Posturography, VEMPs and particle repositioning tests and manoeuvres.

Both services work alongside skull base clinic patients who have been diagnosed/are undergoing treatment for vestibular schwannoma, offering both audiological and vestibular rehabilitation options for this patient demographic.

Hours: 37.5 per week.
