thinking about your next hearing aid dispenser job?
Whether you’re freshly qualified or a seasoned audiologist/hearing aid dispenser, finding the right role can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where we come in.
We know the UK’s hearing care sector inside and out, from high-street brands to independent practices, and we can help you cut through the noise to spot the opportunities that genuinely align with your goals (and are actually worth your time).
We support Audiologists/Hearing Aid Dispensers across the UK, connecting you with roles that match your clinical experience, commercial strengths, and preferred way of working.
Looking for better earning potential, a stronger commission structure, more autonomy, or a supportive team around you? Whether you’re focused on patient care, performance, or a bit of both, we’ll guide you towards the right fit.
let's get started...
Finding the right audiology job for you isn’t always straightforward. Different employers, targets, commission structures, clinic setups, and expectations can make it hard to know what’s worth your time.
That’s where we can help. We take the time to understand you – your clinical background, your strengths as an Audiologist, and what actually matters to you in your next move.
Then we connect you with audiology roles where you can do your best work, earn well, and feel properly valued. Let's get started...
types of audiology jobs
we can help you find (and land).
Private audiology in the UK really splits into two ways of working: clinic-based and domiciliary. Each suits different lifestyles and earning preferences. Roles are available full-time, part-time, or as a four-day week.
clinic-based roles
We recruit for clinic-based hearing aid dispensers across high-street brands, regional groups and independent practices.
That means we're often able to compare different setups in your area — different commission structures, different appointment lengths, different team sizes — rather than putting you forward for whatever's open this week.
-
Independents that protect longer appointment times and reward clinical depth
-
Regional groups in growth phases (often the strongest commission ceilings)
-
High-street brands that have meaningfully shifted toward base-pay-led packages in 2026
domiciliary & mobile roles
Domiciliary (home-visit) and mobile roles are as popular as ever, and we work with most of the major providers running home-visit and multi-clinic patches across the UK.
We'll be straight with you about which patches are realistically achievable, what the typical caseload looks like, and how sales and patient orientated the opportunity is.
-
Pure domiciliary roles with established patches
-
Hybrid patches mixing home visits with clinic days
-
Multi-clinic regional roles (typically two to four sites)
We regularly support private hearing aid audiologists find permanent full-time, part-time, four-day-week, school-hours, and no-weekend rotas. Tell us what works for your life and we'll work from there.

where we work: audiology roles across the UK.
We recruit for hearing care providers across the UK, from high-street brands in major cities to independent clinics in quieter towns and domiciliary patches in semi-rural areas.

Opportunities across each of these countries.
Some of the strongest roles we place are in semi-rural and coastal patches that rarely advertise widely — if you're planning to relocate or open up to a domiciliary patch, tell us where you are and we'll work backwards from there.
understanding hearing aid dispenser salaries.
There's no single "going rate" in private audiology. On-target earnings (OTE) in 2026 - which is base salary plus bonuses and commission - are shaped most by location, then by the type of setting you're in, the commission structure on offer, and your level of clinical and sales experience.
The OTE figures below are a rough guide to what we're seeing across the private hearing care sector — useful as a starting point, not a benchmark to hold any one role to.
newly qualified
base £30k–£38k → OTE £38k–£48k
In year one, commission contributes modestly while you're still building speed and conversion. £6k–£10k on top of base is typical. By the end of year two, this group usually transitions into the experienced band's earnings.
experienced (3-8 yrs)
base £38k–£52k → OTE £55k–£75k
Strong base in 2026, with OTE often £55k–£75k once commission and quarterly bonuses are added.
senior & high performers
OTE £75k–£100k+
Domiciliary specialists typically see a higher base salary, and top-performing private clinic dispensers can earn £80k–£100k+ OTE (depending on location).
what's shifting the market in 2026?
Bigger base, leaner commission: more employers are pulling earnings into base pay to stabilise income.
Independents are paying up: to compete with high-street brands on salary.
Domiciliary premium: home-visit roles often pay base salaries above clinic equivalents.
NHS leavers in demand: once HCPC registered, band 5 and 6 level audiologists are being actively recruited into private settings.
what working with talentshed actually looks like.
1/ a specialism,
not a sideline.
Private audiology isn't one of many sectors we dabble in — it's the only one other than optical industry. That focus means we know who's hiring quietly, which independents are genuinely growing, and where progression is on offer versus where it's just words on a job ad. You're dealing with someone who speaks your language, not a generalist with a database.
2/ matched properly,
not marketed widely.
Your CV doesn't move anywhere without your say-so. Rather than putting you forward for anything that loosely matches the job title, we take the time to understand what you're actually after — the right clinical setup, the right team, the right pace of work. One good fit will always beat five lukewarm ones.
3/ we don't disappear after the offer letter.
Recruitment shouldn't end at the signature. We help with counter-offer conversations, resignation wording, the first-week settle-in, and the longer-term career planning that comes months later. As members of APSCo (Association of Professional Staffing Companies), we operate to a recognised professional standards framework — a formal way of saying we take our job very seriously.
