A family in Abu Dhabi is appointing a permanent Private Physician, trained in the UK or Europe, for long-term medical continuity. The family wants one doctor to oversee health across the household, with strong paediatric and preventive care. The family spends summers in Ireland and London. When you travel with the family, all local arrangements (visa, licensing and coordination with local clinics) remain with the family's own office and advisers. You will keep vaccinations, growth and development on track. Requirements Your registration as a family medicine physician (GP) is from the UK or Europe. Candidates bring 3+ years of post-qualification clinical experience, ideally in general practice. Comfort with patients of every age is essential. Fluent English and complete confidentiality are needed. We verify your licence and references before introduction. Benefits Salary: £218,000 a year gross. It is a gross salary, paid into the bank account of your choice. 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. The family provides your accommodation within the residence and travel, including summers in Ireland. Holidays follow the school calendar, so you are free when the household is away. You agree your contract with the family, who are your employer. Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included. 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.
