A curated selection of the mandates currently live across our Gulf desk, grouped by discipline and specialty. The full register is held in the Candidate Portal. Permanent appointments for Western-trained clinicians across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, the Eastern Province, Monaco and — for onboard mandates — the Mediterranean. The complete live index, updated as mandates open and close, sits on our vacancies board.
Tax-free bands are set 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. Licensing through DHA, DOH, SCFHS and DHP is sequenced alongside the search, not after the offer. Full detail sits on each individual mandate page.

Mandates That Never Reach This Page
The most sensitive appointments are shared by confidential brief only. Royal Household and UHNW family mandates at the highest level are never advertised — they are introduced, under NDA, to a shortlist of one or two clinicians. If your discipline is not represented above, that is often the reason.
Submit a profile through the Candidate Portal to be considered for unadvertised briefs, send us your CV, or request a confidential conversation with our executive search lead.
