London, United Kingdom Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are looking for a self-motivated and hard working individual who has a keen interest in learning about cancer care and genomics. The ability to work across multiple teams in London's busy NHS Trusts is key. The role has been funded as part of a transformation grant given to the Cancer Genetics team at Guy's Hospital to support the national Lynch syndrome mainstreaming initiative. You will be an integral part of the genetic counselling team and work with high calibre individuals who will provide daily support and management. We have a team of Genomic Associates within the service and who work as a team to foster a cohesive working environment across several pathways. You will be required to be on site at Guy's, Kings College Hospital and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trusts.

The primary duty of the post holder will be to work with the Lynch project transformation team and support the implementation of mainstream genetic testing. The postholder will help write the project plans, work with the administrative team to mobilise the interventions, track and record outcomes and compile the documents needed for wider uptake. Project metrics will be developed with a reporting template for monthly feedback to the cancer alliance team. The Genomic Associate will help develop local pathways for patient contact, information dissemination and consent, supported by meticulous record keeping to ensure decisions are captured and communicated according to departmental and national guidance. The Genomics Associate will be responsible for the tracking of patients in these pathways to facilitate the process of genetic counselling and testing if appropriate for this group of patients within two primary sites, Kings College Hospital and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. They will ensure results are returned to the appropriate clinician in a streamlined pathway. The development of written material such as standard operating procedures, educational material and leaflets will also be required.

The Department of Clinical Genetics at Guy’s Hospital is one of the busiest in the UK. It is comprised of an extensive team of genetic counsellors and clinical geneticists. With responsibility for providing genetic services for the South-East Thames region of five million people, we offer general and highly specialist input. We deliver general, paediatric and cancer genetic services, and conduct a wide range of genetic counselling clinics, including community-based cancer family history risk assessments. In addition, the service is responsible for the Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) clinic, bringing cutting-edge technology to alleviate the impact of severe genetic disorders on young families.

We offer training at multiple levels, accommodating the needs of different trainees, clinical and scientific, whilst encouraging and supporting life-long learning across the department.

Individuals joining us will benefit from the wealth of experience they will acquire through working in this innovative team built on a long-established clinical genetics service.
