NHS Lothian is seeking Newborn Hearing Screeners to join their expanding team responsible for screening newborns' hearing in Edinburgh and the Lothians. This role offers full-time and part-time hours, requiring the accurate collection and recording of clinical data and the delivery of screening outcomes to parents/carers with compassion. Candidates should have experience working with the public, preferably in a healthcare setting, though training will be provided. This position is primarily based at St Johns Hospital in Livingston, with potential work at other sites including Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Candidates must have or be eligible for PVG Scheme membership. NHS Scotland promotes equality and supports disabled candidates with adjustments during the recruitment process. Applications will be accepted until vacancies are filled. For informal inquiries, contact Erin Moffat, Newborn Hearing Screening Manager.
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
We will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
This post requires the post holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/ record. If the post holder is not a current PVG member for the required regulatory group (i.e. child and/or adult) then an application will need to be made to Disclosure Scotland and deemed satisfactory before they can begin in post.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to expand the Newborn Hearing Screening team at NHS Lothian. Various hours are available. Full and part time hours will be considered.
The successful candidates will work as part of the team responsible for the hearing screening of all babies born or resident in Edinburgh and the Lothians. The post holder will collect and record accurately all clinical and test data relevant to the newborn hearing screening process and deliver screen outcomes in a sympathetic manner to parents/carers. You may also be asked to assist with a range of other duties to support the service.
Training will be provided but experience of working with the public and in a healthcare setting are desirable. This post will be primarily based at St Johns Hospital in Livingston but you may also be required to work across a range of sites, including Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and various outpatient locations. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the Senior Newborn Hearing Screener and the Newborn Hearing Screening Manager.
For any informal queries regarding this post, please contact Erin Moffat, Newborn Hearing Screening Manager, at
