Sports Physiotherapist (Fisioterapeuta desportivo) — Assisted Stretching & Active Mobility, Private Family — Abu Dhabi

Faro, Algarve, PortugalFull-timePosted Aug 11, 2026

Job description

A private family in Abu Dhabi, the UAE, is appointing a sports physiotherapist trained in the UK or Europe. The role is a permanent, live-in appointment with annual leave. From the first day, you travel with the family wherever its diary takes it, across several countries. If you are based in Portugal, trained in the UK or Europe and ready to relocate, we would like to hear from you.

Assisted stretching and active mobility work sit at the centre of the daily programme. You combine soft tissue release with joint mobilisation, then build range through active mobility drills. Short, regular sessions keep the principals moving well between long days and travel. Sessions take place in a private treatment room at the residence and wherever the family travels.

Requirements

Physiotherapy degree obtained in the UK or Europe, with current registration in the country where you trained. Proven experience in sports physiotherapy, manual therapy and movement-based rehabilitation. Experience with elite athletes, professional teams or high-profile private clients is a strong advantage. Confident with movement analysis, biomechanical assessment and corrective exercise.

Available to begin within six weeks, relocate on a single-status basis and travel at any time. Fluent English and calm, discreet conduct; a strict NDA applies. Eligibility rests on UK or European training, not on nationality.

Benefits

A salary from £60,000 a year gross, depending on experience. Flights and travel are always paid for by the family. Accommodation is free of charge throughout the appointment. Medical insurance is covered; professional indemnity insurance is not included. A permanent appointment with annual leave. The family arranges and pays for visas for international travel.

Rest days and leave are planned around the family's diary. 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. Engagement essentials Live-in and single-status: the clinician relocates alone.

Availability follows the family's diary, typically a six-day week with on-call cover. 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.
