Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Physiotherapist — Joint Replacement Recovery, Riyadh

Medical Staff Talent is searching for a UK & European-trained Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Physiotherapist for a private family based in Riyadh. Two members of the older generation have had joint replacements and another is due one, and the family wants recovery managed at home by one clinician.

Expect regular travel with the family, including summers in Europe and periods on the family yacht. As is usual for household appointments in the Gulf, the family expects availability around the clock and a six-day working week.

The Mandate

• Structured rehabilitation after hip and knee replacement, from early mobility to independence.
• Pre-operative preparation for the next planned operation.
• Working with the surgeons, the family physician and the household nurses.
• Home and travel adaptations to keep recovery safe.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Physiotherapy degree from a UK or European institution, with substantial orthopaedic and post-surgical rehabilitation experience.
• At least 7 years of post-qualification clinical experience.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European regulator.
• Experience in a private orthopaedic unit or sports surgery clinic 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.
