The Mandate

  • Absolute clinical autonomy over a dedicated 1:1 care model.
  • Design of preventative strategy, comprehensive screening and long-term vitality planning.
  • Clinical synergy with a hand-selected team of UK & European-trained physiotherapists and executive nurses.
  • Full international travel readiness for the family’s global itineraries.

  • Tier-1 board certification or fellowship — CCST/CCT, MRCGP or an equivalent European fellowship — in Internal or Family Medicine.
  • Minimum five years post-residency, ideally in private concierge medicine or elite health screening.
  • Strictest commitment to confidentiality and absolute discretion.
  • Eligibility for DHA licensing.

Package

  • £270,000 – £390,000 per annum, entirely tax-free and liquid.
  • Fully service-inclusive villa within an exclusive Dubai enclave.
  • All international travel expenses covered, extensive paid annual leave, premium private medical insurance.
  • DHA licensing and Dataflow verification guided at every step — see Gulf Healthcare Licensing Support.

What this appointment asks of you

A dedicated 1:1 clinical ecosystem is what the family has built, and the physician directs it: preventative strategy, comprehensive screening architecture, long-term vitality planning and the day-to-day medicine of a household that travels globally. You will work in clinical synergy with a hand-selected team of physiotherapists and executive nurses, coordinate Dubai’s specialist network on the family’s behalf, and carry the record and the plan wherever the family goes. Private concierge medicine or elite health screening experience is the natural background; internal or family medicine certification is the requirement. The interview will look for a physician who can lead a small team gracefully, communicate risk to intelligent laypeople precisely, and remain absolutely discreet.

Licensing sequence: DHA, Dubai

The regulator in Dubai is the Dubai Health Authority (DHA); applications run through the Sheryan portal and the route for this appointment is:

  • DataFlow primary source verification of your primary medical degree, specialist certification (CCT, CCST, Facharzt or the equivalent European fellowship), current registration, certificate of good standing and experience letters — typically four to eight weeks with a complete dossier.
  • DHA eligibility assessment: Tier-1 specialist certification generally exempts you from the DHA assessment, and consultant-grade eligibility follows the verified CV.
  • Issue of the eligibility letter, then licence activation under the licensed private medical entity associated with the household, followed by the residence visa and Emirates ID.
  • Household onboarding: NDA execution, accommodation, banking and the practical steps we coordinate with the family office before your first day.

With a complete dossier on day one we usually see DHA eligibility inside eight to twelve weeks. Our DHA licensing guide walks through each stage, registration versus licence explains why the eligibility letter is not yet a licence, and licensing for private residences explains how a household appointment is sponsored. GMC specialist registration and the value of a CCT or CCST cover the physician-specific checks.

Reading the package

Base remuneration for this appointment is £270,000 – £390,000 per annum, paid without deduction: there is no personal income tax on employment earnings in the UAE, which is why a Gulf figure should never be compared line-for-line with a gross UK or European salary.

Villa or residence accommodation, transport, health cover and flights are provided in addition to base, and indemnity is arranged by the household; before signing, read the policy territory and the run-off provision — medical liability in the UAE and Saudi Arabia sets out the questions to ask.

An end-of-service gratuity accrues for every completed year of service and is settled on departure — see end-of-service gratuity and repatriation for the calculation and the contract clauses that govern it.

Your home-country tax position on departure — split-year treatment for UK residents, exit formalities elsewhere in Europe — is worth settling before the first salary lands; we introduce candidates to a cross-border adviser, and cost of living and net position for Gulf clinicians gives the household-level numbers.

Run your own comparison with the UK versus GCC net position calculator or the Gulf net package estimator; we are happy to walk through the result with you before any interview.

Living in Dubai

The city is easy to arrive in and easy to leave from, which matters when a household travels as much as this one: Dubai International sits twenty minutes from most of the city and flies direct to London, Zurich, Athens and the main European hubs. Accommodation for the appointment is provided by the family, which removes the one part of Dubai relocation that is genuinely difficult.

For days off there is the coast, the desert, the sporting calendar and a restaurant scene that is now among the best in the world. Families will want our Dubai districts and school catchments guide for catchments and commuting, the international school fees benchmark for fees, and the cultural adjustment guide for the unwritten rules.

How we run this search

Every appointment of this kind follows the same discipline. It begins with a confidential briefing call with Vanessa, our Executive Search Lead, covering your clinical profile, your motivations and your family situation; nothing is written down that you have not agreed to share. Your dossier is then reviewed against the licensing route above so that we know, before anyone else is involved, whether your file will classify cleanly.

The household or its family office is briefed anonymously. Your name and documents are shared only with your written authorisation, first-stage interviews are held by video, and a final meeting is arranged in person — usually with travel organised by the household. Offer, NDA and contract follow, and licensing and mobilisation begin the same week. Our time-to-hire estimator shows how long each stage takes; the confidential hiring process and confidentiality, NDA and vetting pages explain how the household side is governed.
