Sports Physiotherapist — Manual

A private family whose household is based in Abu Dhabi, the UAE, is looking for a hands-on sports physiotherapist.

The appointment is permanent and live-in, with annual leave.

Once in post, you travel continuously with the family across several countries.

We welcome CVs from physiotherapists based in Malta with UK or European training who are open to relocation.

The work combines skilled manual therapy with movement re-education.

Soft tissue release and joint mobilisation prepare the body; neuromuscular work and corrective exercise make the change last.

You assess movement closely and adjust each session to how the principals feel that day.

Treatment happens at home and on the road, always one-to-one.

Requirements

A physiotherapy qualification from the UK or Europe and current registration in your country of training.

Proven experience in sports physiotherapy, manual therapy and movement-based rehabilitation.

Work with professional clubs, national squads or elite athletes is a clear 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.

Excellent English and the discretion the household expects; a strict NDA applies.

What matters is where you trained, not your nationality.

Benefits

A salary from £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience.

Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.

Accommodation is free of charge throughout the appointment.

Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included.

Permanent employment with the family, 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

Every role is live-in and single-status: the clinician relocates 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.
