Specialty Doctor in Genomic Medicine

Specialty Doctor in the department of Genomic Medicine

We are pleased to advertise an exciting new post for a Specialty Doctor in Genomic Medicine. This is an opportunity for an enthusiastic, highly motivated individual to join our experienced Clinical Genetics team in the Leeds Clinical Genomics Service (LCGS) based at Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. This is a one year fixed-term post ideally starting on 5th August 2026. This is a full-time post (10 programmed activities), but we will consider candidates who wish to work less than full time.

The post is suitable for doctors with prior experience of working in the NHS. Candidates will have at least four years full-time postgraduate training (or its equivalent gained on a part-time or flexible basis), with at least two years being in Clinical Genetics.

You will work and contribute to the running of a busy Clinical Genetics department. You will be actively involved in clinics, MDTs, acute ward referrals and teaching. You will be part of a team with our training resident doctors and clinical fellows. You will be supported and supervised by the consultant team. You will also work closely within our wider team: genetic counsellors, genomic practitioners, GPs with extended roles in genomics, administrative and lab colleagues.

The successful candidate will specifically play a pivotal role in delivering equitable, culturally competent genetic services across our diverse regional population, with a particular focus on Bradford. Working alongside established multidisciplinary teams and community representatives, this post offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative, community-engaged genomic care in areas with a higher prevalence of autosomal recessive conditions, shaped by complex socio-cultural, linguistic, and religious factors. This role is ideal for a clinician passionate about reducing health inequalities, improving genomic literacy, and advancing personalised care through meaningful engagement with underrepresented and underserved populations.
