Travelling Family Physician — Paediatric-Capable GP for a Young Family, Riyadh

Medical Staff Talent is searching for a UK & European-trained Travelling Family Physician comfortable caring for children for a private family based in Riyadh. The parents and their five children split the year between Riyadh and Europe, and want one doctor who already knows each child when something goes wrong.

Travel with the family is frequent — European summers, the family yacht and trips arranged at short notice. As is usual for household appointments in the Gulf, the family expects availability around the clock and a six-day working week.

The Mandate

• Family medicine for the parents and children, with child health checks and immunisation records kept up to date.
• Assessment of acute childhood illness at home and sound judgement on hospital referral.
• Agreeing medicines, allergy plans and first-aid routines with the household staff.
• Travelling with the children during school holidays, with paediatric kits prepared for each destination.
• Strict observance of household protocol and the family’s NDA.

Requirements

• CCT in General Practice or a European family medicine equivalent, with substantive paediatric exposure (a paediatric rotation, child-health diploma or equivalent).
• At least 7 years of independent practice in UK or European general practice or family medicine.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European medical regulator.
• A DCH or equivalent child-health qualification is valued.
• Fluent English.
• Able to start within six weeks of an offer.
• Able to relocate alone (live-in, single-status) and to travel anywhere in the world with the family, often at short notice.

Package

• £240,000 per annum gross, with accommodation and travel included.
• 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.
• Fully free accommodation within the family’s residence.
• Permanent, with annual leave and a contract that is renewed every year.

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.
