Longevity & Mobility Physiotherapist for Older Adults — Private Family, Abu Dhabi

A private family in Abu Dhabi has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a UK & European-trained Physiotherapist specialising in mobility for older adults. The family’s grandparents want to stay independent and active, and the family has asked for a physiotherapist dedicated to their strength, balance and confidence.

Expect regular travel with the family, including summers in Europe and periods on the family yacht. The rhythm follows the family rather than a rota: a six-day week, with availability at any hour when needed.

The Mandate

• Strength, balance and mobility programmes for two older family members, delivered daily.
• Falls-risk assessment across the residence and practical changes with the household team.
• Gentle conditioning before travel and support during trips.
• Regular progress reviews with the family physician.
• Absolute discretion under a strict NDA.

Requirements

• Physiotherapy degree from a UK or European institution, with substantial experience in older-adult rehabilitation, falls prevention and frailty.
• At least 7 years of post-qualification clinical experience.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European regulator.
• Experience with osteoporosis and bone-health exercise is valued.
• Fluent English.
• Able to start within six weeks of an offer.
• Live-in and single-status: you relocate alone, with full flexibility to travel worldwide with the family at short notice.

Package

• From £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience.
• Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included.
• Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.
• 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.
• Accommodation within the residence, entirely free of charge.
• A permanent appointment with annual leave; the contract is renewed each year between the family and the clinician.

Scope of Engagement

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.
