Elite athletic rehabilitation inside a private family’s residence is a different discipline from sports physiotherapy in a clinic. The patient panel is restricted to one household, the treatment facility is private, and every session happens under NDA — this is precision manual therapy and injury prevention delivered with the same discretion we screen for across every private family mandate.
“This is not a sports clinic job with a better postcode. It’s a private training and treatment facility, one household, and a physiotherapist who has to be as comfortable with absolute discretion as with the clinical work itself.” — Vanessa, Senior International Healthcare Recruiter, Medical Staff Talent
The live mandate
I’m currently running a Physiotherapist mandate for elite athletic rehabilitation and injury prevention for a private family in Abu Dhabi — practice inside a private training and treatment facility, precision manual therapy as the core clinical discipline, and absolute discretion under NDA throughout.
Who gets shortlisted
- A degree in Physiotherapy from a Tier-1 UK/European institution, or a select Southern European jurisdiction.
- A minimum of six years in sports or performance rehabilitation specifically — this is not an entry point for general musculoskeletal physiotherapy.
- Current, unrestricted home registration. Every local arrangement remains with you and the family’s own office and advisers.
- The same discretion and professional presentation standard we screen every private family candidate for.
- Availability to start within six weeks of offer, complete flexibility around the family’s calendar, and the ability to relocate alone and to travel with the family worldwide, often at short notice.
How this fits our wider Private Family practice
This mandate sits alongside our broader Private Duty Physiotherapy for Private Families practice — the household is never identified until mutual interest is established, consistent with the confidentiality standard across every appointment in this segment.
| Element | What’s confirmed |
|---|---|
| Location | Private Family, Abu Dhabi |
| Package | £98,000 per annum, tax-free |

Frequently asked questions
Will I know which household I’m joining before I apply?
No — the household is never identified until mutual interest is established, consistent with every private family mandate we run.
Is this suitable for a physiotherapist without prior private-household experience?
Yes, provided the clinical background in sports or performance rehabilitation is strong — discretion and professional composure are assessed directly during our confidential briefing process rather than assumed from prior household experience.
What does the package include beyond salary?
Private accommodation within the residence on a single-status, live-in basis. Visa and every local arrangement remain with the family’s own office and advisers.
I run this mandate personally and brief every candidate individually before the household sees a profile. Submit a confidential profile through the Candidate Portal. — Vanessa, Senior International Healthcare Recruiter
