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. ### 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 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. ### Job responsibilities The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is committed to delivering the highest quality and safest treatment and care to every patient, every time.
