Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone. What is a DBS Check? A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role: Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings. Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police that’s considered relevant to the role. Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the children’s and/or adults’ barred lists. Who Needs a DBS Check Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role. The Costs for a DBS At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment.   If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred. For more information about the cost of the various types of DBS, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-fees-are-changing-in-december DBS Update Service Candidates are also expected to register with the DBS Update Service which must be completed within 30 days of the certificate being issued. This helps streamline future employment checks and supports safer recruitment practices.  For more information, please visit the DBS Update Service. ## Person Specification ### Other **Essential** - Good IT skills, familiar with using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets **Desirable** - Car driver /owner for domiciliary visits ### Skills **Essential** - Ability to perform a wide range of audiological tests independently. - Experience of fitting a range of digital hearing aids including to people experiencing tinnitus - Ability to work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team in a work environment **Desirable** - Ability to provide tinnitus management appointments - Ability to assist in appointments for Adults with additional needs / learning disabilities - Skills in Paediatric Audiology ### Experience **Essential** - Experience of complex adult assessment and management - Experience of training students or junior staff members - Experience working within a NHS setting **Desirable** - Tinnitus Assessment and Rehabilitation - Wax removal - trained by accredited provider and competencies gained - Experience of carrying out audits - Experience of undertaking service developments ### Qualifications **Essential** - BSc / MSc / STP or equivalent in Audiology - Registration with HCPC or AHCS **Desirable** - BAA Higher Training Scheme in Tinnitus ## Documents - [specialist audiologist (pdf, 920.2kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10262459) - [inside mft – your candidate place (pdf, 306.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2890) - [person spec adult audiologist - band 6 (pdf, 128.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10262462) - [jd and person spec audiologist b6 adult audiologist (pdf, 264.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10262461) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
