Senior MSK Physiotherapist | UHNW Private Family | Paris & International

Job Role: Private Family Physiotherapist Salary: Highly Competitive + Accommodation Allowance + International Relocation Support (DOE)
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent Employed Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (regular international travel including Paris, French Alps and other international destinations) Some Physiotherapy jobs change your career.

This one could change your life.

Recruit Therapists is delighted to be representing our client in the search for an exceptional Physiotherapist to join a welcoming Ultra High Net Worth family based in Abu Dhabi.

This isn't a clinic. It isn't a hospital. It isn't a role where you'll rush from one patient to the next.

Instead, you'll become the family's dedicated Physiotherapist, delivering highly personalised Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, rehabilitation and recovery programmes whilst working alongside their Personal Trainer as part of a trusted private wellness team.

If you've ever wondered what life beyond traditional private practice could look like, this is an opportunity that very few clinicians will ever experience.

This role is unlike anything we've recruited for before.

You’ll be based in Abu Dhabi, with opportunities to travel internationally throughout the year, supporting the family wherever they are in residence.

Rather than treating dozens of patients every week, you’ll have the time to build genuine relationships, deliver bespoke rehabilitation programmes and see the real impact of your work over the long term.

Perhaps the biggest selling point is the family themselves.

The previous Physiotherapist remained with them for over three years, and throughout our conversations we've heard the same thing time and time again:

They’re genuinely lovely people to work with.

They’re looking for someone who will become a trusted part of their everyday lives, someone who combines exceptional clinical skills with warmth, kindness and compassion.

• Highly competitive salary package (DOE)
• Accommodation allowance
• Full visa and relocation support
• International travel as part of the role
• Work‑related flights, travel and accommodation covered whilst travelling
• Opportunity to live and work in Abu Dhabi
• Work alongside an experienced Personal Trainer
• Join a welcoming private wellness team
• Long‑term career opportunity within an Ultra High Net Worth family
• A varied role where no two days are ever the same

To be considered for this opportunity, you’ll need:

• HCPC Registered Physiotherapist
• 3‑5 years’ post‑registration experience
• Strong Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy background
• Proven experience managing post‑operative ACL rehabilitation
• Advanced Dry Needling experience
• Advanced Acupuncture experience
• Excellent Manual Therapy skills
• Confidence designing and progressing rehabilitation programmes independently
• A UK or EU passport to support international travel
• Willingness to relocate to Abu Dhabi
• Flexibility to travel internationally when required

Due to the nature of this private household role, where you’ll predominantly provide Physiotherapy to female family members within their private residence, this position is open to female applicants only
. This is a Genuine Occupational Requirement (GOR) based on privacy, dignity and cultural considerations.

Whilst not essential, we’d be particularly interested in hearing from Physiotherapists with experience in:

• Private Practice Physiotherapy
• Sports Physiotherapy
• Elite Sport
• Professional Sports Teams
• Luxury or Concierge Healthcare
• VIP or UHNW clients
• Complex rehabilitation
• Working alongside Personal Trainers
• Supporting individuals with Down syndrome or developmental conditions

Our client has made one thing very clear…

They’re not simply looking for an outstanding Physiotherapist.

They’re looking for an outstanding person.

Someone who is naturally warm, compassionate, emotionally intelligent and adaptable. Someone who enjoys building relationships, works collaboratively and genuinely cares about improving the lives of others.

If you’re positive, proactive and thrive in environments where trust and teamwork are valued, you’ll fit in beautifully.

This role will involve longer hours than a traditional clinic position and requires flexibility around the family’s lifestyle and international travel.

It isn’t the right opportunity for everyone.

However, if you’re looking for an exciting new challenge that combines world‑class Physiotherapy with international travel, genuine career development and the chance to make a meaningful difference every single day, this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Further details regarding the family, working arrangements and full package will be shared with shortlisted candidates during the recruitment process.
