Requirements

Requires UK or European physiotherapy training with current registration and solid post-qualification experience in sports or musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Candidates must be able to relocate alone, travel at short notice, and maintain discreet, professional conduct.

Job Description

A private family in Abu Dhabi, the UAE, wishes to add a sports physiotherapist to its household staff.

This is a permanent, live-in position with the family, with annual leave.

Once in post, you travel continuously with the family across several countries.

We welcome CVs from physiotherapists based in the United Kingdom with UK or European training who are open to relocation.

Neuromuscular movement control and corrective exercise lead the programme.

Movement analysis guides each choice, supported by soft tissue release and joint mobilisation.

Proprioception and balance training round out the work; strength and conditioning plays a smaller part.

Treatment happens at home and on the road, always one-to-one.

Requirements

UK or European physiotherapy training, with registration current in the country where you qualified.

Solid post-qualification experience in sports or musculoskeletal physiotherapy, with confident hands-on skills.

Work with professional clubs, national squads or elite athletes is a clear advantage.

Comfortable designing injury-prevention, mobility and proprioception programmes.

Able to start within six weeks, relocate alone and travel with the family at short notice.

Fluent English and calm, discreet conduct; a strict NDA applies.

Eligibility rests on UK or European training, not on nationality.

Benefits

A salary from £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience.

Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.

Accommodation is free of charge throughout the appointment.

Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included.

Permanent employment with the family, with annual leave.

The family arranges and pays for visas for international travel.

Rest days and leave are planned around the family's diary.

The salary is agreed directly between the family and the clinician; each clinician should take advice from their own tax adviser on whether the income is taxable in their circumstances.

Engagement essentials

Live-in and single-status: the clinician relocates alone.

Availability follows the family's diary, typically a six-day week with on-call cover.

Medical Staff Talent introduces and verifies clinicians. The engagement is contracted directly between the family and the clinician, and all local arrangements (visa, licensed entity, coordination with local clinics) remain with the family's own office and advisers.
