Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do I need to be considered?
You must hold a primary medical, nursing, or physiotherapy/osteopathic qualification obtained and licensed within the UK or a recognised European healthcare system. Beyond credentials, we look for the discretion, polish, and adaptability required to work within private family environments.
Is my search kept confidential from my current employer?
Yes. Your candidacy is never disclosed to your current employer, colleagues, or any third party without your explicit written consent. Your profile is shared with prospective employers only after you have approved the specific opportunity, and all communications are routed through our consultants under strict confidentiality.
Do you handle visas or relocation?
No. 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 visas, sponsorship or local regulation. Every role is live-in and single-status: the private families we work with require clinicians who relocate alone.
Do candidates pay any fees for representation?
No. Our fee is paid entirely by the appointing household or family office, who engage you directly. Registering with Medical Staff Talent, being considered for our portfolio, and being briefed throughout the introduction process is entirely free of charge to you.
How long does the placement process typically take?
Timelines vary by specialty and destination, but most placements complete within six to ten weeks from initial consultation to confirmed start date, depending on interview scheduling and on the local arrangements made by the family’s own office and advisers. We keep you informed at every stage of the introduction.
