Physiotherapist — Resident Rehabilitation Lead — Abu Dhabi

Private Medical Jobs with Private Families in the Gulf
Edinburgh, Midlothian, United Kingdom Posted Oct 8, 2026
Full-time

About this role

A private family in Abu Dhabi is appointing a UK & European-trained Physiotherapist to a live-in post. The appointment depends on a physiotherapist who can act alone with confidence, with the family's trust behind you. Travel is part of the role, with Switzerland on the family's regular route and physical therapy uninterrupted. We verify each physiotherapist's registration, references and training before any introduction, with nothing taken on trust. Your employer is the family, and the contract is between the two of you, which protects your autonomy as a physiotherapist.

Requirements

  • You are a fully qualified physiotherapist with current registration in the UK or Europe, able to hold your own judgement. You should have worked no fewer than 3 years since qualifying, some of it in rehabilitation. The family has asked for UK & European-trained physiotherapists exclusively. Excellent spoken and written English is expected; strict confidentiality is part of the appointment under every circumstance a physiotherapist meets. Registration, references and training history are checked by us first, because a resident rehabilitation lead appointment leaves little room for doubt.

Benefits

  • The gross range for this physiotherapist post is £70,000 – £85,000, set for a resident rehabilitation lead appointment in Abu Dhabi. 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 accommodation within the residence and covers your travel, so you can focus on recovery work. Flights home are provided by the family, which keeps a long-term physiotherapist post sustainable. The family contracts with you directly; we are not a party to the agreement, and the terms for recovery work are agreed openly. 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.
