Seven years ago we employed a Hearing Educator who developed free education programs which are delivered to early learning centres, kindergartens, schools, tertiary centres and community groups in the Hastings District. These programs are highly valued and are in great demand. We know from our evaluations that our message is being heard ‘loud and clear’.
It is an exciting time for Hearing Education Hawkes Bay having now reached the point where we want to make the program available to all of the Hawke’s Bay area and are therefore looking to expand by employing a second Hearing Educator. This is a diverse and rewarding role with some flexibility around hours.
We are looking for an outgoing person who has the confidence to present to groups of all ages. We need someone who is self-motivated and able to work independently.
Key Competencies:
- Comfortable presenting to people of all ages.
- Clear Confident speaker
- Ability to work independently
- Excellent Time Management and Organisational skills
- Competent using Microsoft Office
Full training will be provided. Full Drivers licence required.
Hours: 20 hours per week – Possibly term time only.
Employment Type: Permanent Part-Time
Start Date: Feb 2020
Pay Rate: from $22 - $25 per hour depending on previous experience.
To apply: Email a cover letter along with your resume to Hearing Education Hawke’s Bay President Lyn Gage - lyngage@gmail.com

For over 50 years we have been providing unbiased information, advice and support for people affected by hearing loss in our community. Due to a lack of awareness, 7 years ago we developed an education program that we deliver free to local Early Learning Centers, kindergartens, schools, tertiary centers and community groups raising awareness on the causes and prevention of noise induced hearing loss and other hearing related topics. Our program is highly valued and demand is growing, therefore we feel we are in a good position to expand and put greater focus on our education program. We provide a preventative service, enabling our community to value their hearing and take action to preserve a life with sound.
We are looking for a forward thinking, proactive person ideally with governance skills to support our mission and vision.

unbiased information, advice and support on hearing related issues as well as education on protection against noise induced hearing loss.
OUR MISSION:
To educate our community that noise induced hearing loss is 100% preventable and provide them with
the knowledge they need to protect their hearing. To also be known as the first point of call for anyone in our community affected by hearing loss and seeking information, advice & support.
HEARING LOSS IS AN INVISIBLE DISABILITY THAT CAN AFFECT ANYONE AT ANY AGE:
A recent study reported that 18.9% of the New Zealand population have a hearing loss. Research also suggests that hearing loss can more often than not be attributed to damage from noise rather than age. For children hearing loss can be detrimental to their education and their social development, for adults it can be isolating and embarrassing. We often hear that people with hearing loss feel unsupported and misunderstood, that is why we are here. Our goal is to offer early intervention for noise induced hearing loss, by equipping children, educators and parents with the knowledge they need to protect their hearing. We aim to see a reduction of noise induced hearing loss in future generations. Our programs are in high demand and we hear some fantastic feedback about how the recipients retain and utilise the information
they learn from the presentations and that they often share it with their family & friends.
FREE COMMUNITY EDUCATION ON PREVENTION OF NOISE INDUCED HEARING LOSS & GENERAL HEARING RELATED ISSUES:
For over 6 years now Hastings Hearing has employed a Hearing Educator to give free presentations to preschools, schools, educators, community groups and any other organisations interested in learning how to prevent noise induced hearing loss. These presentations are fun, interactive and memorable and are adjusted to be appropriate for the group it is being delivered too. Our presentations are a form of early intervention and equip participants with the knowledge they need to prevent this invisible disability from affecting them and their families. For the year 2018 our Hearing Educator delivered 142 presentations to local ELC's, Kindergartens, schools, tertiary groups, educators and community groups with a total of 2,234 participants. These figures have increased year on year since we started offering the programs.
