Lead Paediatric Audiologist - 8b

Lead Paediatric Audiologist 0.83 WTE Band 8b, Cambridge

Opportunities like this are rarely available

Cambridge University Biomedical Campus (Addenbrooke’s Hospital) has an upcoming vacancy for the head of our paediatric audiology service. For the right individual this is an exciting opportunity for your next career move.

Whilst the challenges in paediatric audiology are widely known, this is a role in a large tertiary service in a department that is IQIPS accredited and has been green rated in the recent desktop review.  We do have waiting list challenges and additional mutual aid demands, but our service is well supported by senior hospital managers and we have good links with ENT and community paediatric audiology colleagues. We are a training department with apprentices, PTP, STP and HSST trainees. We are a research active department.

You will need to have extensive knowledge and experience of all areas of paediatric audiology. It is a given that this is likely to be a significant step up (and support will be given), but you will be expected to be able to demonstrate leadership qualities and have existing line management and training experience. An involvement in regional and national developments in paediatric audiology is expected.

You will get to work with a fantastic team of paediatric audiologists who show innovation, flexibility and determination to ensure that our service continues to provide good care.  Cambridge is a beautiful place to settle which delivers a great quality of life (Quality of Life in Cambridge (numbeo.com)).

Qualifications: M.Sc. and STP or equivalent

The advert will go live shortly on NHS jobs and on the CUH website and do get in touch if you would like an informal discussion.
