Job summary

Following an increase in our establishment, we are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic person to join our friendly Newborn Hearing Screening team in Manchester.

As the largest hearing screening programme in the North West we play a vital role in the early detection of permanent significant childhood hearing impairments, completing approximately 16,500 newborn hearing screens a year.

The role will suit an individual who would like to develop their career in a healthcare position. If you have previous experience of working with the public, especially parents and babies, and are computer confident then this could be the job for you.

You will be required to undertake a Level 3 Diploma for Health Screeners to become a qualified Newborn Hearing Screener. The Diploma involves a range of written, oral, and practical assessments and must be completed within 12 months of enrolment.

Main duties of the job

Newborn hearing screening is performed to identify permanent, significant hearing impairment in newborn babies. Early identification can reduce the impact on the development of language, speech and communication skills.

As a newborn hearing screener, you will:

Be committed to delivering a high quality of care to meet the National Public Health England (PHE) quality assurance standards, local policies and procedures, to ensure the service reaches key performance indicator deadlines.

Identify all newborn babies requiring screening and ensure the Newborn Hearing Screen is offered.

Communicate effectively with parents/carers, providing clear and accurate information regarding the hearing screening programme.

Obtain informed consent as per national and local protocols.

Promote a professional and caring environment endorsing a 'family friendly' approach to care.

Carry out hearing screening within the maternity units (including Special Care and Neonatal Intensive Care Units) and outpatient clinics, using specialised equipment, as per national and local protocols and procedures.

Accurately process data on the Smart4Hearing screening database including transfer of in area and out of area records.

Use EMIS to manage patient activity in outpatient clinics.

Make referrals to the audiology departments as per local procedure.

Take cCMV swabs for babies who fail their newborn hearing screen.
