Permanent GCC Roles for UK & European-Trained Clinicians
A curated selection of permanent appointments for UK and European-trained clinicians across the Gulf’s most demanding private institutions and households.
What Every Listing on This Board Carries
Vetted before it reaches you. Institutional standing, remuneration and clinical scope are verified before a vacancy is published.
Tax-free compensation, stated openly. Live mandates are banded by discipline: consultant and physician appointments from £185,000 to £430,000; nursing appointments from £50,000 to £110,000; physiotherapy appointments from £48,000 to £130,000. All tax-free.
Licensing sequenced alongside the search. Full guidance through DHA, MOH, MOPH, SCFHS and DHP — run in parallel, not after the offer is signed.
Relocation support for the successful candidate and, where applicable, the family.
Roles span consultant physicians, elite physiotherapists and osteopaths, and Private Duty Nurses, placed exclusively within Royal Households and UHNW family estates across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha and the Eastern Province — together with onboard mandates aboard private yachts in the Mediterranean.
The most sensitive mandates never reach this board. Private household and UHNW appointments are shared by confidential brief only. For a private conversation about a specific vacancy, request a confidential brief — enquiries at this level are handled directly by our executive search lead.

What every band above includes. Furnished accommodation or housing allowance, transport to place of work, inbound and end-of-contract flights plus an annual return flight, medical and malpractice insurance, 30–36 days annual leave, and end-of-service gratuity. Schooling support is negotiated at senior and consultant level.
Bands reflect the UK & European-trained market segment — clinicians holding active registration in the UK or an accepted European jurisdiction. They are materially above the general Gulf healthcare market and should not be compared with aggregate salary data drawn from the wider expatriate workforce. Figures are indicative, denominated in pounds sterling at prevailing rates, and reviewed periodically.
