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.

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. This is a new role for LCGS, and the intention is that this fixed term appointment will allow an assessment of the utility of the post within the service with the intention of generating a substantive post. Training will be provided to facilitate career progression. Salary would be dependent on experience according to the current pay award for Specialty Doctors available on the NHS Employers website: Pay and conditions circulars for medical and dental staff | NHS Employers and further subject to 2026 Pay Award.
