Clinical Fellow in the Department of Clinical Genetics (Leeds Clinical Genomics Service) Specialising in Prenatal Genetics
We are inviting applications to fill our Prenatal Clinical Fellow vacancy at The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust in the Department of Clinical Genetics. This post will ideally commence on 01/02/2027 and is fixed term for 6 months.
Eligibility:
Candidates must be fully registered with the General Medical Council and hold a license to practice by the intended start date.
Post Overview:
This post is suitable for doctors from a range of specialties and can be tailored to the successful applicant’s training needs. It would be particularly well suited to doctors already training in clinical genetics who wish to strengthen their experience in prenatal and postnatal genetics. We also welcome applications from doctors training in obstetrics who have an interest in fetal medicine, and from those in other specialties, such as paediatrics, who are considering a career in clinical genetics.
Consideration will be given to applicants who wish to work full or part time and those wishing to job share.
Job Summary
You will join a large clinical genetics service with an established prenatal team comprising consultants, residents and clinical fellows, genetic counsellors, and genomic practitioners. We work well together. We also work collaboratively with our genetics laboratory, local fetal medicine colleagues, and obstetric and midwifery teams across the region. We serve a diverse population of 4 million, holding 2 clinics per week for our prenatal and postnatal patients. Our patient population, from a variety of socio-demographic backgrounds, includes families with multiple diagnoses and at times raises challenging ethical scenarios.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why You Should Join Our Team
Working within the prenatal clinical genetics team, you will be involved in direct patient care in clinic and at key stages throughout the clinical pathway. You will also contribute actively to our prenatal and fetal medicine multidisciplinary team meetings. Your responsibilities and training will be tailored to your previous experience and current learning requirements. If you are already training in clinical genetics, we will support your continued development, including completion of the relevant decision aid and curriculum requirements for your training year.
The post also offers the opportunity to gain experience within a large clinical genetics service. Although the role is primarily focused on prenatal work, there may be scope to work in other areas of the service where this would support your training and development.
Please see the attached job description for further information about this vacancy.
What You Will Bring To The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic doctor who enjoys patient-facing work, contributes positively to a team, and is motivated to develop their knowledge and skills. You will be organised, able to manage competing priorities, and capable of working independently when appropriate. Previous experience in clinical genetics, obstetrics or paediatrics would be advantageous.
Excellent communication skills are essential. You will need to communicate clearly and sensitively with patients in clinic and produce accurate, well-written correspondence. You will also work closely with colleagues in the prenatal team, administrative support staff, laboratory teams, fetal medicine services and other departments. The role requires effective communication in person, by video call and telephone, and through letters and emails.
