Would you like to work for an established, family-run independent hearing care business where you are trusted to use your clinical expertise, build lasting patient relationships and be rewarded for your hard work.
I'm delighted to be working in partnership with a growing independent hearing care provider that is looking to recruit 2 - 4 Audiologists / Hearing Aid Dispensers as part of its continued expansion across the North West and South of England.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys the personal side of audiology, values clinical independence and wants the opportunity to develop a rewarding long-term career with significant earning potential.
Whether you are an experienced clinician looking for greater freedom and financial reward or a developing Audiologist keen to build your career within a supportive independent business, I'd love to hear from you.
About the Opportunity
My client is an established, family-run independent hearing care business with a strong reputation for providing personalised hearing healthcare, excellent clinical standards and ongoing patient support.
Unlike larger corporate organisations, the business prides itself on taking the time to understand individual patients, providing impartial clinical recommendations and offering hearing solutions from a wide selection of leading manufacturers.
With an established patient database and plans for further growth, the business offers an exciting combination of clinical independence, commercial opportunity and professional support.
The role is predominantly domiciliary, with approximately 90% of appointments taking place in patients' homes and 10% within established hearing care clinics.
You will be supported by dedicated diary management and administrative teams, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best - providing outstanding hearing care.
What Will You Be Doing.
As an Audiologist / Hearing Aid Dispenser, you will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive hearing care service to adult patients across your designated territory.
Your responsibilities will include:
Conducting comprehensive adult hearing assessments, with appointments typically lasting up to 90 minutes.
Providing personalised hearing rehabilitation and tailored hearing care recommendations.
Undertaking appropriate clinical testing, including Real Ear Measurements (REMs), Uncomfortable Loudness Levels (ULLs), speech testing, AB word lists and QuickSIN where clinically appropriate.
Recommending, fitting and programming hearing aids from a wide selection of leading manufacturers.
Providing clear, impartial advice to help patients understand their hearing needs and available solutions.
Delivering excellent aftercare, follow-up appointments and ongoing hearing aid support.
Building strong, trusted relationships with patients and their families.
Maintaining accurate clinical records and adhering to professional and clinical governance standards.
Identifying appropriate opportunities to improve patients' hearing and quality of life.
Managing your working day independently while working closely with the wider clinical and administrative teams.
You will typically undertake approximately 3 - 6 appointments per day, depending on appointment type and location, with your diary planned to minimise unnecessary travel.

Qualified Audiologist / Hearing Aid Dispenser with appropriate HCPC registration.
Strong clinical assessment, hearing aid fitting and rehabilitation skills.
Confidence working with hearing technology from a range of manufacturers.
Excellent spoken and written English, with the ability to explain clinical information clearly and compassionately.
Outstanding interpersonal skills and a genuine ability to build trust and rapport with patients.
A patient-centred approach, with a commitment to providing ethical and appropriate hearing care recommendations.
Commercial awareness and the confidence to identify suitable hearing solutions.
Self-motivation, excellent organisation and the ability to work independently.
A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel within an agreed local territory.
Appropriate right to work in the UK.
Desirable skills:
Experience within independent or private hearing healthcare.
Previous domiciliary audiology experience.

Microsuction or earwax removal training.
Experience working autonomously and developing long-term patient relationships.
Don't have extensive independent or domiciliary experience.
That doesn't necessarily rule you out.
The business is happy to consider developing clinicians who demonstrate the right attitude, clinical foundation, communication skills and willingness to learn.

A Different Kind of Working Environment
What particularly appeals to me about this opportunity is the combination of clinical independence, personalised patient care and the chance to be genuinely rewarded for the effort you put in.
My client is looking for individuals who take ownership, enjoy building their own success and understand that excellent patient care and commercial performance can work hand in hand.
There is a strong emphasis on doing the right thing for the patient, building trust and developing long-lasting relationships.
Rather than a rigid, target-driven environment, the business encourages a proactive, performance-led approach where personal initiative and results are recognised.
You will have the freedom to develop relationships with your patients, access to a broad range of hearing technology and the support of an established business behind you.
Could This Be Your Next Career Move.
If you are an experienced Audiologist or Hearing Aid Dispenser who enjoys working independently, building meaningful patient relationships and wants an opportunity where your commitment and success can be financially rewarding, this could be a fantastic next step.
Equally, if you are looking to move into independent hearing care and would welcome the right training and support, I'd be delighted to have a conversation.
As always, all enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
