Locum Consultant in General Genetics

The post holder will be accountable to the Clinical Lead for General Clinical Genetics and to the Head of Service.

The Genetics Centre at Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Trust is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, forward-thinking colleague to join a dynamic and growing Consultant team. The post is fixed term for 12 months, on the ground of a career break of 2 established Consultants of the Department.

You should ideally have extensive clinical, training, and teaching experience in General Clinical Genetics. In line with NHS England ambitions, the department is working in progressively and strategically integrating genomics across the organisation. There might be opportunities for the successful candidate to work in an area of special interest, so to continue to build on the experience they have already mastered, in an area of interest which preferably, but not exclusively, complements departmental existing strengths.

We expect the successful candidate to demonstrate a well-rounded clinical and teaching experience in general genetics and genomics, and deliver a high-quality clinical work in outpatient and in-patient setting, as well as to participate in, mainly virtual, multidisciplinary team working.

The successful candidate will join a highly motivated, enthusiastic, innovation favouring, friendly and supportive team.
