Private Physician — Household Clinical Continuity — Abu Dhabi
£218,000 per year
Key Skills
Job Description
A private family in Abu Dhabi is appointing a UK & European-trained Private Physician to a long-term, confidential role.
Discretion is the first requirement of this private physician appointment, because trust within the residence is built slowly.
Care continues quietly beyond Abu Dhabi, including the family's summers and international trips, so the family sees the same face and the same standard throughout.
The family holds the contract for the Abu Dhabi post; we step back once the introduction has been made.
Requirements
Full UK or European registration as a family medicine physician (GP), with nothing outstanding.
You bring 3+ years of clinical medicine behind you, ideally close to families or private clients.
A UK or European qualification is the starting point for this Abu Dhabi post; your certificates are checked against the issuing body.
Clear English is required day to day, together with an NDA you will sign before deployment.
You must be comfortable moving between residences; being unobtrusive in every setting is part of the role.
Benefits
Salary: £218,000 a year gross.
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.
Free accommodation provided by the family.
Medical insurance covered.
Professional indemnity insurance is not included; the clinician arranges their own cover.
You receive paid annual leave under a permanent contract with the family.
Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.
Engagement essentials
Availability to begin within six weeks of offer.
Live-in and single-status: the role suits clinicians who relocate alone, with full flexibility to travel worldwide with the family at short notice.
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.
Core Responsibilities
Provide long-term, confidential clinical care to a private family in Abu Dhabi and during international travel. Maintain a consistent standard of medical care while remaining unobtrusive within the family's residences.
Requirements
Must hold full UK or European registration as a family medicine physician with at least 3 years of clinical experience. Candidates must be comfortable with a live-in, single-status arrangement and possess the flexibility to travel globally at short notice.
Benefits
- Free accommodation
- Medical insurance
- Paid annual leave
- Travel expenses covered
