Chronic Pain & Spinal Care Physiotherapist — Private Family, Al Khobar

A private family in Al Khobar, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a UK & European-trained Physiotherapist specialising in chronic pain and spinal care. A family member’s recurring sciatica keeps interrupting work and travel, and the family wants a physiotherapist on hand to manage it properly.

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

• Assessment and management of recurrent sciatic and spinal pain.
• Manual therapy, exercise and pacing, with a clear plan for flare-ups.
• Coordination with the family physician and spinal specialists.
• Ergonomics for travel and work.
• Absolute discretion under a strict NDA.

Requirements

• Physiotherapy degree from a UK or European institution, with postgraduate training in spinal assessment and the management of persistent pain.
• At least 6 years of post-qualification clinical experience.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European regulator.
• Experience in a spinal triage or interface service 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

• £65,000–£100,000 per annum gross, depending on experience.
• 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.
• The family arranges and pays for the visas needed for travel abroad.

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.
