Your commitment to further training and professional development will be encouraged and supported
by The Hearing House.

advocate, who will do all you can to ensure clients in the care of The Hearing House are given the best opportunity for them as individuals to meet their full potential. The ability to be resourceful and flexible is necessary. We look for team
members with excellent interpersonal skills who communicate effectively from a written and verbal perspective and can demonstrate a high level of cultural
competency and empathy.

It is essential that you hold a New Zealand Master's in Audiology (or the international equivalent) and have a minimum of three years of audiology experience with adults.
