Audiology, Kings Cross Hospital
Band 4 Student Associate Audiologist Annex 21 Para 2 (ii)
PERMANENT Audiology is looking to recruit three (2 full time and 1 part time post of 25 hours) Student Associate Audiologists to start on the DipHE course for Hearing Aid Audiology at Queen Margaret University in September 2025. These posts will provide full training both through the university course and in house so that by the summer of 2027 the successful applicants will be qualified hearing aid audiologists and able to register with the HCPC. If you are looking for a new challenge or are considering the direction of your career this post may be for you. Prior to starting university you will be trained in hearing aid repairs, earmould impression taking, stock control and you will have observation times on other adult clinics. Once at university, you will be released on block weeks for both online and campus teaching and you will work in clinics outside of this time. Successful applicants will be expected to undertake study within their own time in addition to the university hours. Audiology works a compressed week (Monday to Friday) and hours will be 4 days 8am – 6pm two days per week and 8am – 5.30pm two days per week. The day off will be set each week. Audiology in NHS Tayside covers Kings Cross Health & Community Care Centre in Dundee which will be your base but it also covers Perth Royal Infirmary, Stracathro Hospital, Ninewells Hospital, and three smaller departments in Forfar, Crieff and Pitlochry and there may be times you are placed in these departments as part of your training and duties on your rota. Once qualified, the role provides diagnostic and rehabilitation to adults who have hearing loss and require hearing reassessments, Ear Nose and Throat hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, follow ups and hearing aid repairs. In future years the successful applicant could undertake further study at the university and qualify as a Band 5 Audiologist if the applicant and department agree about this progression. You would be joining an award-winning team which is working towards UKAS IQIPS accreditation in all areas of work they perform. Ideal candidates will have excellent customer service skills, a professional and positive approach to completing both operational needs and having ideas for developing the service further. You will be required to comply with the Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers in Scotland throughout your employment. Informal enquiries to: Laura Turton, Head of Audiology
