Travelling Family Physician — GP for Parents & Young Children, Dubai

Medical Staff Talent is introducing a UK & European-trained Travelling Family Physician comfortable caring for children to a private family in Dubai. A young family with a new baby and two toddlers wants a GP of its own who travels with them, rather than a series of clinic appointments.

Travel with the family between residences and abroad: summers in Europe, time on the family’s yacht and short-notice trips. Six-day weeks and 24/7 availability are normal in Gulf household appointments, and the family plans around both.

The Mandate

• Everyday family medicine for parents and children at the residence.
• Child health surveillance and immunisations, coordinated with the family’s paediatrician.
• Calm management of childhood illness at home, with clear thresholds for escalation.
• Medical planning and cover for family travel, from short-haul weekends to European summers.
• Absolute discretion under a strict NDA.

Requirements

• CCT in General Practice or a European family medicine equivalent, with substantive paediatric exposure (a paediatric rotation, child-health diploma or equivalent).
• At least 8 years of independent practice in UK or European general practice or family medicine.
• Full registration, in good standing, with a UK or European medical regulator.
• Paediatric life-support certification (APLS or EPLS) is valued.
• Fluent English.
• Availability to begin within six weeks of offer.
• Live-in and single-status: you relocate alone, with full flexibility to travel worldwide with the family at short notice.

Package

• £240,000 per annum gross, with accommodation and travel included.
• 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.
• Accommodation within the residence, entirely free of charge.
• A permanent appointment with annual leave; the contract is renewed each year between the family and the clinician.

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.
