Senior Rehabilitation Physiotherapist — Private Family Estate, Doha

Medical Staff Talent is appointing a Senior Rehabilitation Physiotherapist to provide dedicated physical therapy for a prominent private family in Doha.

The work is single-patient care within a modern private residence: tailored mobility programmes and acute physical recovery, designed and delivered by one clinician with continuity of relationship.

The Mandate

• Design of tailored mobility routines and acute physical recovery programmes.
• Dedicated single-patient care within a private residence.
• Elite clinical standards with complete professional discretion.

Candidate Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from a recognised institution.
• Minimum five years post-qualification in neurological or orthopaedic rehabilitation.
• Trained in a Tier-1 UK or European system — UK, Ireland, or an accepted European jurisdiction — with current registration with your UK or European regulator, in good standing.
• Availability to start within six weeks of offer.
• Complete flexibility around the family’s calendar.
• The ability to relocate alone and to travel with the family worldwide, often at short notice.

Package

• From £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience, tailored to experience and clinical record.
• Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included. Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.
• Private luxury accommodation and annual flights home.

What this appointment asks of you

The work is single-patient rehabilitation within a modern private residence: tailored mobility programmes, acute recovery after injury or procedure, and the long-horizon conditioning that keeps one person moving well over years rather than weeks. Neurological or orthopaedic rehabilitation experience is required because the caseload, although small, is clinically substantive, and the physiotherapist designs, delivers and progresses every element personally. You will coordinate with visiting consultants on staged plans and keep records to a standard that lets any specialist pick up the thread. Continuity of relationship is the defining feature — the family is choosing a clinician they will see most days, so professional composure and a settled manner weigh heavily.

Scope of Our Role

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.

Reading the package

Base remuneration for this appointment is from £60,000 a year, depending on experience. It is a gross salary, agreed directly with the family and paid into the bank account of your choice. Take advice from your own tax adviser on whether the income is taxable in your circumstances.

Because accommodation and flights sit outside the base figure, the practical comparison is with your current net pay after rent, commuting and tax — not with your gross salary. Our note on reading the real numbers behind a Gulf salary walks through that arithmetic.

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

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

Living in Doha

Qatar’s capital is the easiest Gulf city to navigate day to day — short distances, a modern metro, a Corniche for early mornings and a winter season of sport and culture — and the household provides accommodation within the residence for this appointment, which removes the main relocation variable.

Direct flights to London take around seven hours. Every appointment is single-status — the families we work with require clinicians who relocate alone — and the cultural adjustment guide covers what nobody puts in the offer letter.

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 readiness to relocate alone; nothing is written down that you have not agreed to share. Your qualifications, registration and references are then verified before anyone else is involved.

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, agreed directly between you and the family. 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.
