Once you find it then you have to imbed it in your practice and encourage others to do the sameExplorer - you never know it all - you are always learning and there’s always something exciting out there that changes what you think is the best way of doing something in its head.Manager - developing others and ensuring quality services are delivered within resources and budget is rewarding and challenging and keeps you on your toes!

"Starting salary for an audiologist is band 5 agenda for change. Clinical scientists can expect band 7 and above. I manage a range of services within child development centres and therefore follow our NHS trust career pathway. I decided to boarder my experience by working outside of my specialty but skills are transferable and I’m enjoying the new challenges my trust offers me."

"I’ve worked in audiology for most of my career. I became paediatric clinical lead then manager of audiology and professional lead. I now manage a range of paediatric services in a child development centre."

"I live by the sea so enjoy walking on the beach and just enjoy being outdoors."

"I spend time looking through and prioritising actions from emails, monitoring team activity and performance and report these to senior management in the trust . Providing support to staff problem solving and developing their ideas and clinical practice."
