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. It 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, be actively involved in clinics, MDTs, acute ward referrals and teaching, and work closely with our wider team: genetic counsellors, genomic practitioners, GPs with extended roles in genomics, administrative and lab colleagues.
Main duties of the job
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 under‑represented and underserved populations.
Salary will be dependent on experience according to the current pay award for Specialty Doctors as published on the NHS Employers website and subject to the 2026 Pay Award.
Job responsibilities
You will hold clinics under supervision, attend and contribute to departmental meetings, multidisciplinary team meetings and teaching sessions, and support the consultants in delivering excellent clinical care. A specific area of focus will be the advancement of culturally competent genomic practice, working as a medical lead with support from the consultant and culturally competent genomic team.
- Support consultant clinical activity.
- Hold outpatient, telephone and video clinics.
- Participate in the urgent work and ward referral rota.
- Write and sign‑off clinic letters promptly.
- Attend all stipulated departmental meetings.
- Support multidisciplinary team meetings.
- Undertake audit or quality improvement projects.
- Teach medical students and other medical or allied health professionals as directed.
- Attend specialist clinics, departmental teaching activities including genomics education and other relevant clinical meetings.
- Attend induction and comply with all local policies including dress code, annual and study leave.
- Maintain continued professional development and develop services to enhance culturally competent care across the region and support the activity of the NHSE‑funded Genomic Practitioner in relation to the Genetic Risk Equity Project.
