“Every principal’s medical team is only as discreet as the process that assembled it. Ours is built to leave no trace — and to protect the intermediary who made the introduction as carefully as the household itself.”

Who We Are

Medical Staff Talent is a private medical recruitment practice. We source UK & European-trained specialists exclusively for Private Families across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar — and with the family across Europe and on international travel. We do not place clinicians into hospitals, clinics or staffing agencies. Every mandate is handled personally by the founder, from first conversation to the clinician’s first day inside the residence.

Who We Place

Practice	Typical appointment
Private & Maternity Nurses	Newborn care specialists and maternity nurses; critical care and rotational nurses for 24/7 live-in cover, travel with the family and complex geriatric care.
Physiotherapists & Osteopaths	Rehabilitation and musculoskeletal specialists: elite motor recovery, chronic pain management, biomechanical performance and private physical wellness inside the residence.
Private & Concierge Physicians	Family medicine, longevity and travelling doctors: live-in and travelling personal physicians, preventative and longevity protocols, discreet travel with the family.

Compensation is denominated in sterling and structured tax-free. A resident private or concierge physician typically sits between £240,000 and £400,000; locum and travelling appointments start from £185,000. Nursing and physiotherapy packages are benchmarked separately by specialism. Full detail on each practice page.

Why Intermediaries Refer to Us

• ✔Clinical requests outside your remit, handled properly. When a household asks for a nurse, a physiotherapist or a physician, the appointment requires professional registration and verification against source. We take that request, so that you neither decline it nor improvise it.
• ✔Reciprocity. We place clinicians only. Any household requirement that reaches us — a house manager, a governess, a chef, estate staff — is referred back to the introducing agency, and your client remains yours.
• ✔Your introduction is protected. The principal is never named to a candidate before a non-disclosure agreement is executed, and the referring party is never disclosed to anyone without written consent.
• ✔Founder-led, not desk-led. The person you introduce the principal to is the person who runs the search. No account managers, no junior screening desk, no handoffs.
• ✔A narrow, verified pool. Sourcing is confined to UK & European-trained clinicians, each verified against their home registration, with reference checks and a clinical background review, before a single name reaches the household.
• ✔A clear division of roles. 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. Background reading is available in our Gulf licensing reference guides.
• ✔The household is never named. Nothing we publish — on a job board, in an advertisement or in a social post — identifies the household. A mandate the family asks us to keep confidential is not published anywhere; a vacancy is advertised only where the family has expressly authorised it, and then in anonymised form. Read the standard we apply: confidentiality, NDAs and vetting.

Who Introduces Principals to Us — and What Each Receives

Three kinds of intermediary account for almost every introduction we receive. Each meets the clinical question at a different moment, and each is supported differently.

For Household Staffing Agencies

An agency that places house managers, butlers, chefs, governesses and estate staff for Gulf principals is asked, sooner or later, for something outside its register: a registered private duty nurse for a newborn or an elderly parent, a resident physiotherapist, a live-in personal physician. A maternity nurse or a caregiver can be sourced from a household register. A clinician cannot. The appointment requires professional registration and verification against source.

Medical Staff Talent exists for exactly that request — and for nothing else. We do not place house managers, butlers, chefs, nannies, security or estate staff, and we never will. We place clinicians only. That makes us a complement to a household agency’s service, not a competitor for its client.

• ✔The household remains your client. Every non-clinical appointment stays with you. We take the clinical brief under NDA, report to whom you specify, and step back entirely if that is your preference.
• ✔Your name stays inside. The referring agency is never disclosed to a candidate or to any third party without written consent.
• ✔Local arrangements stay with the family. We introduce and verify 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.
• ✔Terms in writing, or none at all. Where an agency prefers a formal referral arrangement, its terms are agreed in writing before the first mandate. Where it prefers none, an introduction carries no cost and no obligation.

How a Private Medical Appointment Is Structured

The private families we work with require clinicians who relocate alone: every role is live-in and single-status. Within that, every appointment follows one of five deployment models:

• ✔Live-In. The clinician lives within the family’s residence.
• ✔Rotational. Paired clinicians rotate on a fixed rota, preserving continuity of care.
• ✔Fixed-Term. A defined live-in period, such as a pregnancy and the newborn months, or a recovery programme.
• ✔Travelling. The clinician travels with the family between its residences, and on Mediterranean yachts when travelling with the family.
• ✔Locum. Short-notice live-in cover for an existing clinician’s leave.

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. We do not advise on licensing, visas or sponsorship.

What We Handle — and What We Do Not

How an Introduction Works

An introduction carries no cost and no obligation for the referring party or the principal. Our commercial terms are agreed directly with the household or its office, in writing, before any search begins.

Introduction & Referral Terms

Most introductions are made without any arrangement at all, and that is how we prefer to begin. Where an introducing partner wishes to formalise the relationship, the terms are deliberately simple and fit on a single page.

• ✔An introduction fee of 15% of the net success fee we receive on any appointment that results from your introduction, whether it is the first mandate or a later one from the same household. The fee is paid 30 days after the 90-day replacement period ends; no fee is payable on an introduction that does not lead to an appointment.
• ✔Agreed in writing before the first mandate. Our Introduction & Referral Terms are issued by name, on request, and signed before any search opens — never negotiated once a candidate is in play.
• ✔Nothing is charged to the principal for the introduction. Our commercial terms with the household are agreed separately and directly with its office, and the introduction fee is borne entirely by us.
• ✔Regulated advisers. Where a professional adviser’s regulatory rules preclude the acceptance of an introduction fee, none is offered or paid. Our introduction and verification service is provided regardless.
• ✔Confidentiality runs both ways. The referring party is never disclosed without written consent, and we never approach an introduced household for anything other than the clinical mandate it has asked us to fill.
