Neurological Rehabilitation Physiotherapist — Private Family, Doha

A private family in Doha has asked Medical Staff Talent to introduce a UK & European-trained Neurological Rehabilitation Physiotherapist. A family member living with Parkinson’s disease wants to keep walking and moving with confidence, with a physiotherapist who understands the condition.

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

• A long-term programme for gait, balance, posture and freezing strategies.
• Regular review with the neurologist and family physician as the condition and medication change.
• Training the household nurses and carers in cueing and safe mobility.
• Planning safe travel and adapting each residence.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Physiotherapy degree from a UK or European institution, with substantive neurological rehabilitation practice (stroke, brain injury or movement disorders).
• At least 7 years of post-qualification clinical experience.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European regulator.
• Experience with functional electrical stimulation or robotic gait aids is valued.
• Fluent English and a calm, courteous manner.
• Able to start within six weeks of an 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

• 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.
• Private accommodation in the residence, provided free.
• Permanent role with annual leave, under a contract renewed yearly with 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.
