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 UK & European-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 £115,000; 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.

Continuous Registers — Locum Cover and Retained Appointments
Two deployment models are filled from standing registers rather than advertised mandates: short-term cover and retainer-based appointments. Both are described in our guide to the seven deployment models private families use for their clinicians.
- Locum Cover for Private Families in the Gulf — Consultants and Senior Nurses, 2–12 Weeks (continuous register)
- Retained Concierge Physician Appointments in the Gulf — Sessional · Retainer (continuous register)
City registers — one per profession, per market
Alongside those two, we keep a continuously open register for each profession in each market we cover. Each page carries the licensing route for that jurisdiction, the remuneration band on our current mandates there, and the appointments live on our desk today.
- Private & Concierge Physicians — Riyadh · Jeddah · Eastern Province · Dubai · Abu Dhabi · Doha
- Private & Maternity Nurses — Riyadh · Jeddah · Eastern Province · Dubai · Abu Dhabi · Doha
- Physiotherapists & Osteopaths — Riyadh · Jeddah · Eastern Province · Dubai · Abu Dhabi · Doha · Osteopathy, Gulf-wide
- Travelling with the family — Private yacht: doctors, nurses and physiotherapists, Mediterranean summer and Gulf winter
Mandates That Never Reach This Page
The most sensitive appointments are shared by confidential brief only. Private 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.
