Sports Physiotherapist (Sportfysiotherapeut) — Assisted Stretching & Active Mobility, Private Family — Abu Dhabi
Key Skills
Job Description
An appointment with a private family in Abu Dhabi, the UAE, for a sports physiotherapist who enjoys one-to-one, hands-on work.
It is a permanent, live-in appointment with the family, with annual leave.
Once you join, you move with the family continuously 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.
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.
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.
Available to begin within six weeks, relocate on a single-status basis and travel at any time.
Excellent English and the discretion the household expects; a strict NDA applies.
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.
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
The appointment is live-in and single-status; you relocate 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.
Core Responsibilities
