Private Osteopath — Musculoskeletal Care for a Private Family, Riyadh

Medical Staff Talent has been asked by a private family in Riyadh to introduce a UK & European-trained Osteopath. The family wants a resident osteopath for the adults and senior staff of the household, working alongside an existing physiotherapist.

The family travels often, including European summers and time on its yacht, and the treatment plan travels with it. Availability 24/7 and a six-day week are part of the appointment, as is usual with private families in the Gulf.

The Mandate

• Osteopathic assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal complaints in the family.
• Self-management and exercise advice to maintain progress.
• Shared cases with the household physiotherapist and family physician.
• Travelling with the family on request.
• Complete confidentiality, under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

Requirements

• Osteopathy degree from a UK or European institution, with broad musculoskeletal practice and sound clinical reasoning for referral.
• At least 6 years of post-qualification clinical experience.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European regulator.
• Experience in a multidisciplinary clinic alongside physiotherapists and physicians is valued.
• Fluent English and a calm, courteous manner.
• Availability to begin within six weeks of 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.
