Sports & Performance Physiotherapist — Biomechanics, Private Family, Dammam

Medical Staff Talent has been asked by a private family in Dammam, in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, to introduce a UK & European-trained Sports & Performance Physiotherapist. The family’s teenagers train seriously in football and swimming, and the parents want their development supported safely.

The family travels often, including European summers and time on its yacht, and the treatment plan travels with it. Availability 24/7 and a six-day week are part of the appointment, as is usual with private families in the Gulf.

The Mandate

• Biomechanical screening and injury prevention plans for young athletes in the family.
• Treatment of sports injuries and return-to-sport progressions.
• Working with coaches on load, growth and recovery.
• Travelling to competitions and training camps with the family.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Physiotherapy degree from a UK or European institution, with sports or performance physiotherapy experience and confident use of movement analysis.
• At least 5 years of post-qualification clinical experience.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European regulator.
• A sports physiotherapy MSc or equivalent is valued.
• Fluent English and a calm, courteous manner.
• Availability to begin within six weeks of offer.
• Willingness to relocate alone to a live-in, single-status appointment, and to travel worldwide with the family at short notice.
• Arabic language skills are a strong advantage.

Package

• £65,000–£105,000 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.
• Private accommodation in the residence, provided free.
• Permanent role with annual leave, under a contract renewed yearly with the family.
• Visas for international travel are arranged and paid for by the family.

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.
