Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Children's Audiology Team based at Brighton General Hospital in the role of Paediatric Audiology Assistant.

The post involves working with children and their families who are attending for a hearing assessment. The post holder will work alongside the Audiologists to allow age appropriate hearing assessment of the child. Support and training to develop these skills will be provided. A desire to work with children is essential.

Although the post is a clinical role the post will involve collaborative working with the Audiology Team Administrators.

It is likely that one day per week will be outside of the clinic room and will potentially include ensuring communication is provided to families in a timely manner and supporting the ordering and stock management for the service.

This will be developed with the successful applicant when they join the team.


There will further be the expectation for the post holder to partake in generalised structured training within the trust (for example the Care certificate).

We are seeking a Paediatric Audiology Assistant.

The post holder will assist in a range of paediatric audiology appointments working alongside the senior clinical team and assisting with their clinical duties.

This would include hearing assessments of young children and babies. Training and supervision will be provided within the service with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge through further learning.

Specific knowledge will be acquired through hands on training and experience gained over time.

Children's Audiology are a friendly team incorporating Team Administrators, Paediaitric Audiology Assistants and Clinical Staff.

The team works across sites at Crawley Hospital in Crawley, Nightingale Child Development Centre in Haywards Heath and Brighton General Hospital in Brighton.


As a service Children's Audiology sits within Children's Services within SCFT and benefits from close links to the Child Development Centre's.
