Audiologist – Community Outreach & Clinical Services
Central Florida Speech & Hearing Center | Lakeland, Florida
Bring Your Expertise Beyond the Clinic.
Are you an audiologist who loves both patient care and connecting with the community?
Central Florida Speech & Hearing Center is seeking an enthusiastic, mission-driven Audiologist – Community Outreach & Clinical Services to join our team. This unique position offers the best of both worlds: approximately 50% clinic-based audiology and 50% community outreach (may vary).
You will provide comprehensive audiology services in our clinics while also serving as a key representative of Central Florida Speech & Hearing Center throughout the community. You’ll have the opportunity to develop relationships, create new outreach opportunities, provide hearing screenings and education, and help bring hearing healthcare to individuals who may otherwise have difficulty accessing it.
This is an ideal position for an audiologist who wants to practice clinically while also making a broader community impact.
What You’ll Do
Clinical Audiology – Approximately 50%
Provide high-quality, patient-centered audiology services within our CFSHC clinics, which may include:
– Comprehensive adult hearing evaluations
– Diagnostic hearing testing
– Hearing aid evaluations, fittings, programming, and follow-up
– Counseling and education related to hearing loss and communication
– Tinnitus and hearing conservation counseling
– Pediatric audiology services as appropriate
– Collaboration with physicians and other healthcare professionals
– Appropriate referrals and coordination of care
– Accurate clinical documentation and adherence to professional and regulatory standards
Community Outreach – Approximately 50%
– Help lead and expand our audiology presence throughout Central Florida by:
– Identifying and cultivating new community outreach opportunities
– Building relationships with senior living communities, healthcare organizations, employers, community groups, churches, nonprofits, and other community partners
– Conducting hearing screenings at community events and outreach locations
– Providing engaging presentations and educational programs on hearing health, hearing loss, hearing protection, communication, and healthy aging
– Representing CFSHC at health fairs, community events, conferences, and other public-facing opportunities
– Developing relationships that increase awareness of CFSHC services and improve access to care
– Identifying individuals who may benefit from comprehensive audiology services and helping connect them with appropriate follow-up care
– Collaborating with the CFSHC outreach manager expand services into communities where access to hearing healthcare may be limited
A Different Kind of Audiology Career
This position isn’t about sitting in the same clinic every day.
Some days you’ll be seeing patients in the clinic. Other days you may be conducting screenings at a senior community, presenting to a group of healthcare professionals, building a new community partnership, or representing CFSHC at a local event.
Your schedule will have variety—and your work will have purpose.
The outreach component requires flexibility, including:
– Primarily weekday hours
– Some evening community presentations and events
– Some weekend outreach events and health fairs
– Flexibility in the weekday schedule to accommodate evening and weekend commitments
– Schedule variations based on community events, seasonal opportunities, and periods of increased outreach activity
The goal is to create a schedule that balances clinical responsibilities with meaningful opportunities to serve the community.
Why This Position Matters
For many people, getting to an audiology clinic isn’t easy.
Transportation challenges, mobility limitations, work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, financial barriers, and simply not knowing where to turn can prevent people from getting the hearing care they need.
Outreach helps change that.
As an Outreach Audiologist, you will help bring hearing healthcare closer to the people who need it. A screening may be the first step toward someone finally addressing years of untreated hearing loss. A presentation may help a family recognize that a loved one needs help. A community partnership may connect hundreds of people with services they didn’t know were available.
You won’t just be providing audiology services. You’ll be expanding access to them.
What We’re Looking For
– Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree
– Current Florida Audiology license or eligibility for licensure
– Strong clinical skills and commitment to excellent patient care
– Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
– Comfortable speaking to both small groups and large audiences
– Enthusiastic about community engagement and relationship building
– Self-directed, organized, and able to manage competing clinical and outreach priorities
– Comfortable working independently in community settings
– Willingness to travel to outreach locations throughout the CFSHC service area
– Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
– Ability to occasionally work evenings and weekends based on outreach needs
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
At CFSHC, you can build a career that goes beyond the four walls of a clinic.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
– Practice audiology and build meaningful patient relationships
– Lead community initiatives that expand access to care
– Develop partnerships throughout Central Florida
– Educate the community about hearing health
– Help underserved individuals connect with services
– Work alongside a multidisciplinary team of speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and other professionals
– Be part of a nonprofit mission focused on improving communication, independence, and quality of life
– And perhaps most importantly, you’ll be able to see the direct impact of your work—not only in the patients you treat, but in the communities you help reach.
