Why You’ll Love This Job
We are seeking a full-time or part-time Audiologist at our brand new FYZICAL® Balance Therapy clinic in Portland, Maine. An interest in vestibular neurophysiology is a plus, but not required! The audiologist will be responsible for independently providing comprehensive audiologic services to an adult population, as well as performing vestibular testing for select patients receiving dizziness and balance evaluations in the clinic. The audiologist can expect a steady source of referrals from a robust network of referring physicians, as well as from within the clinic (given the high cross-over between patients experiencing dizziness and balance issues, as well as hearing loss). The audiologist will also have direct contact with and support from co-owner Dr. Liz Pearce who is a practicing Otolaryngologist at her private practice in Falmouth. Dr. Pearce believes in unrushed patient care, team communication, and patient education.
What is it like to part of the FYZICAL® team? Game changing! We are seeking enthusiastic individuals who are motivated to improve the lives of our patients through physical therapy and audiologic services. Our staff is our greatest asset, and we aim to provide a superior working environment with a positive work-life balance, while providing opportunities for professional growth.
