Sports Physiotherapist (Sportfysiotherapeut) — Assisted Stretching & Active Mobility, Private Family — Abu Dhabi
Key Skills
Job Description
A private family whose household is based in Abu Dhabi, the UAE, is looking for a hands-on sports physiotherapist.
The role is a permanent, live-in appointment with annual leave.
Once in post, the clinician travels continuously with the family across several countries.
This posting is open to UK & European-trained physiotherapists based in the Netherlands and ready to relocate.
Assisted stretching and active mobility work sit at the centre of the daily programme.
You combine soft tissue release with joint mobilisation, then build range through active mobility drills.
Short, regular sessions keep the principals moving well between long days and travel.
You treat one-to-one, at the residence and on the move, with real continuity of care.
Requirements
A physiotherapy qualification from the UK or Europe and current registration in your country of training.
Several years of sports or musculoskeletal practice with a strong manual therapy component.
Experience with elite athletes, professional teams or high-profile private clients is a strong advantage.
At ease with neuromuscular techniques, movement control and breathing and core work.
Ready to start within six weeks, live in, and travel freely with the family.
Fluent English, sound judgement and complete discretion under a strict NDA.
Training in the UK or Europe is the criterion; nationality is not.
Benefits
Salary from £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience.
Free accommodation within or next to the family residence.
Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included.
Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.
A permanent appointment with annual leave.
International travel visas are handled and paid for by the family.
Your free time and days off are arranged around the family's schedule.
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
The appointment is live-in and single-status; you relocate alone.
The family's diary sets the rhythm of the day, so total flexibility on hours and destinations is expected.
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 hands-on sports physiotherapy, including assisted stretching and active mobility, to a private family. Deliver one-to-one care at the residence and during international travel with the family.
