Maribor, Slovenia | Posted on 08/10/2026

• Salary From £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience

Private Medical Recruitment for the Gulf | UK & European Trained Specialists

Who We Place: Private & Maternity Nurses, Physiotherapists & Osteopaths, Private & Concierge Physicians

Job Description

We are introducing a UK or European-trained sports physiotherapist to a private family based in Abu Dhabi: a permanent, live-in appointment with a strong manual and movement-control brief.

Open to UK & European-trained physiotherapists based in Slovenia who are ready to relocate.

The work is hands-on and movement-led: soft tissue release, assisted stretching, active mobility work and joint mobilisation.

You will use neuromuscular techniques for movement control, corrective exercise, and breathing and core control.

Movement analysis and biomechanical assessment underpin an injury-prevention programme for active principals.

Proprioception and balance training complete the brief; strength and conditioning plays a smaller part.

Sessions take place in a private treatment suite in the residence and wherever the family travels.

You work one-to-one, with the continuity of care that no clinic caseload allows.

Requirements

Physiotherapy degree obtained in the UK or Europe, with current registration in the country where you trained.

Several years of sports or musculoskeletal practice with a strong manual therapy and movement-control component.

A background with elite athletes, professional sport, dance companies or high-profile clients is a strong advantage.

Confident with movement analysis, biomechanical assessment and injury-prevention programming.

Able to start within about six weeks, relocate alone and travel with the family at any time.

Fluent English; Arabic language skills are a strong advantage.

Strict discretion: an NDA covers the family, the residence and your movements.

We introduce clinicians trained and registered in the UK or Europe; what counts is where you trained, not your nationality.

From £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience.

Accommodation in or right next to the residence, free of charge.

Flights and travel are always paid for by the family.

Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included.

A permanent appointment with annual leave, renewed each year.

Once in post, you travel continuously with the family across several countries.

The salary is agreed directly between the family and the clinician; each clinician should take advice from their own tax adviser on whether the income is taxable in their circumstances.

Every role is live-in and single-status: the clinician relocates alone.

The family's diary sets the pattern of the day; total flexibility on hours and destinations is expected.

To apply, send your CV through the Medical Staff Talent website: medicalstafftalent.com/send-us-your-cv/

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.
