Salman Valli

I graduated from university in 2018 with background as a retail assistant in sales, looking for a full-time position in an audiology-based role. Post qualification I got a job as a band 5 audiologist at Southend University Hospital where I have between Feb 2019 and Jan 2021. I then started a role as an audiologist at Northampton General Hospital where I worked for 4 months and have since been working with Phonak from June 2021.

I also have one years' experience in NHS as a student audiologist prior to my graduation at Kettering General Hospital where I learnt a variety of skills and abilities including relationship-building skills. I was a retail assistant prior to graduation with 2 years' experience which included management positions. I am also a passionate leader who develops highly motivated teams through mentoring and superior communication and excels in fast paced environments.

I am passionate about helping people and enjoy working with my colleagues and eager to join a dynamic team that rewards initiative and high-quality service.
