Job overview

The Audiology Department are looking for a part time team focussed audiologist with a specialist interest in balance to support the provision of adult audiology services. You will be joining a diverse and friendly team of audiologists, admin and management, who are all focussed on providing the best possible service to our patients.

We are looking for an Audiologist experienced in vestibular testing to include history taking, basic eye assessment, VHIT, VNG, Water &/or Air Calorics and VEMP. The hours offered would suit clinicians looking to address work/life balance, have a varied working week or those looking for their next challenge.

We run balance clinics at Queen's Hospital in Romford, with trains to London Liverpool Street taking around 25 minutes. We also provide wax removal, tinnitus, GPDR and ENT support, which the candidate may be asked to cover as appropriate. All Audiologists are given an area of responsibility and would be supported with necessary training and development.

We strive to provide an excellent service to the patients of the Trust incorporating PRIDE values at all times. If you are an enthusiastic audiologist looking to join a friendly and progressive department who are looking to expand our service and clinical remit, we would welcome your application.

Main duties of the job

Candidate must have a BSc or PTP in Audiology, BAAT part I and II or equivalent, have experience commensurate with the position and be RCCP or HCPC registered.

To develop skills and competencies within the field of Audiology.

Undertake routine and occasionally complex clinical caseloads in Adult Audiology without supervision. Though mostly concerned with balance testing, this will also include covering ENT clinics, GPDR patients and reassessments, hearing aid fittings with REMs, Follow Ups and Repairs.

Undertake a range of audiological diagnostic & physiological tests to national, professional and local protocols. Where the clinical situation or best interests of the patient justify deviations from protocol, or contraindications are found in the case notes and/or medical notes, this should be fully documented in the patient records after seeking guidance on justification if required.

Candidates must demonstrate strong team working skills, good communication skills and the ability to use their initiative.

To record test results, patient outcomes and to provide factual reports.

Additional tasks may be assigned once competencies have been satisfied.

Working for our organisation

We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.

Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.

We’re pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings for urgent and emergency care at Queen’s and King George hospitals; and data released by NHS England showed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care. 

We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
