Audiology Clinical Service Lead
Location: Newbury, Berkshire
Hours: Part-time (3-4 days per week) with flexibility around working patterns
Deadline for applications: 14th October 2026
Date of interview: 21st October 2026
Join an independent clinic where clinical care comes first
We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Audiology Clinical Service Lead to join our growing independent hearing clinic. This is a pivotal role in the next stage of our growth and an opportunity for a Senior Audiologist, Clinical Scientist or Hearing Aid Dispenser who is passionate about outstanding patient care and would enjoy helping to shape and develop both our clinical service and our team.
Tracy James Hearing is built on trust, kindness, clinical excellence and long-term relationships with our patients. We are driven by making a genuine difference to people's lives. At the same time, we are a growing independent business, so we believe in helping patients fully understand the options available to them and make informed decisions about their care. For this leadership role, that also means understanding how excellent patient care, appropriate recommendations and sustainable business growth work together.
We provide services to both children and adults, including hearing assessments, wax removal and hearing aid fittings, alongside more complex services including APD and tinnitus assessment, speech testing and the management of complex hearing loss. Our clinical staff have NHS backgrounds, and we bring that depth of clinical expertise into a personalised, service-led private practice.
We work alongside our sister company, TJ Audiology Training, so there are also opportunities to develop skills in training as well as access to our training resources and courses as part of your Continuing Professional Development.
The role
You will combine hands-on clinical work with genuine leadership responsibility, gradually taking ownership of the day-to-day clinical service and helping us build the team, systems and processes we need as the business grows. Working closely with the Director, you'll have the opportunity to influence how the service develops while continuing to deliver outstanding clinical care yourself.
This is a role for someone who enjoys not only providing excellent clinical care, but also developing people, improving how things work and helping to build a successful and sustainable service.
Challenges of the Role
As a growing independent business, we're also open about the areas we're still developing. For the right person, these challenges provide a genuine opportunity to influence how the service operates and help us build strong foundations for future growth. As this role has previously been undertaken by the Director/Owner as the business has developed, some of our protocols and procedures have not yet been formally documented. Full training will be provided initially, and as part of that process, the post-holder will be expected to document procedures where needed, helping to create clear and effective processes for the growing team.
There will be some lone working as we are a small team, but also opportunities to recruit further staff into the business, as the role develops.
We are also currently undertaking CQC registration and the post-holder would support this application.
