About the Role
We are looking for two Band 7 Advanced Paediatric Audiologist / Clinical Scientist to join us at Oxford University Hospitals. It is an exciting time to join OUH as we deliver a project to reconfigure how paediatric audiology services are delivered by the Trust. We are delighted to have been rated “Full Assurance” in our ICB/NHS England site visit in spring 2025, and have received funding to further develop our service, including provision of a new paediatric audiology facility at the Horton Hospital in Banbury (due for completion in September 2026). We are looking for forward-thinking and highly motivated individuals to join us on our service development journey.
Responsibilities
These posts would be ideal for experienced Paediatric Audiologists / Clinical Scientists who would like to further develop their service development, leadership, management and advanced clinical skills. You will be working alongside our other team leaders, reporting to the Head of Paediatric Audiology. These posts are funded at 1.6WTE. Ideally, we are looking to fill these posts as 1.0WTE full-time and 0.6WTE (22.5hrs/week), but would equally consider two or more part-time contracts.
The role is primarily concerned with the delivery of advanced clinical practice in paediatric audiology including behavioural testing in children considered non-routine, objective testing, and hearing aid fitting and verification. In addition, this post carries service development and line-management responsibilities. The post holder will work closely with the Head of Paediatric Audiology in the delivery of the newly configured service. They will be expected to supervise, coach and mentor junior members of staff to ensure that a consistently high-quality clinical service is provided. Time has been allocated for the leadership, management, training and service development aspects of the role.
