Description and Person Specification: Audiologist for Kent Community ENT and Kent Hearing  \nJob Title: Audiologist  \nGrade: Trainee or above  \nSalary: Qualification/skill dependant  \nLine manager: Dr Priya Carling (Audiology) & Dr Sudeb Mandal (ENT)  \nPurpose of the job:  \nThe post holder will be required to provide support to the Kent Community ENT NHS (KCE) team by providing clinical care in a range of audiology specialist areas and maintaining accurate clinical records of work carried out. Further audiology clinical support must be provided to Kent Hearing Ltd (KH), a private audiology practice ensuring gold standard service for audiology assessment and aural rehabilitation for both adults and paediatric patients, alongside Dr Carling. All care must be provided in an effective, caring and compassionate manner and abiding by the ethos of both organisations.  \nKent Community ENT:  \nKent community ENT was first developed ten years ago providing General ENT clinics with microsuction. Patients, particularly the elderly, reported how much easier it was not to always have to travel to hospitals for procedures that could be done in the community and be turned away from Audiology clinics when they were found to have some degree of wax impaction that led to a one stop shop approach. The team of clinicians are supported by microsuctionists so that Audiologists then don't have to disappoint the patients by postponing their hearing aid assessments and or fittings. General ENT, microsuction & Audiology patients are seen by one or more of the appropriate people all of whom are supported by an excellent team of admin staff. We now run clinics at seven different sites throughout West Kent.  \nKent Hearing  \nThis is a private clinical Audiology practice based in West Malling run by Dr Priya Carling. In addition to diagnostic audiology for adults and children, Priya performs micro suction, provides aural rehabilitation to adults with hearing loss and tinnitus, and is a consultant to other hearing and audiology companies, providing research, training and service enhancement support.
