A Vacancy at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Successful candidates will complement the skills of the department and work flexibly within the team across the Norfolk and Waveney combined Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) service. This is a post for a general Otolaryngologist with an interest in Otology and Bone Conducting Implants (BCIs) and devices.

If appropriate, all training for BCIs would be provided, with excellent support from a dedicated Audiology team.
