Work for us

Join our multidisciplinary team

Maudsley Health brings together psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, speech and language therapists and specialist nurses across Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) is working with MACANI, a highly respected Abu Dhabi based organisation with a mission to develop and extend high quality mental health care across the United Arab Emirates.

The staff experience is that the UAE is a great place to live and work. It is safe, vibrant, welcoming and family orientated, it also has lots of attractions for all ages.

Maudsley Health is now progressing significant developments across the spectrum of mental health care in the Middle East. The aim is to replicate the high quality of the specialist services within SLaM. As a result, we are looking for additional experienced, high-quality clinical staff. If you have a flexible approach, use evidence base practice and want to spend your time engaging positively with patients, we would be pleased to have an initial discussion with you.

A thorough induction programme will be offered along with a commitment to continuing professional development. Supervision is provided either through Maudsley Health in the UAE or through SLaM in London.

What we offer

Good remuneration package that also includes:

  • Medical insurance
  • Support with licensing and employment visa
  • Support with transition to the UAE
  • Tax free salary

As the service is developing, a degree of flexibility and creativity will be required together with an appreciation of relevant cultural issues. Of greatest importance is the ability to deliver high quality, evidence-based and compassionate care. The ability to speak Arabic is an advantage but is not essential. The successful applicants will need to fulfil the professional registration requirements of the relevant Emirate.

Staff testimonials

What it is like to join us

  • I came to the clinic with a planned day and a written description of what I will do and who are the people I will meet and the timeline. This has made me comfortable and eliminated the stress and anxiety that may come when joining a new place with new people and new processes. From my own perspective, I found my recruitment process to be flawless and quick.
    Senior Occupational Therapist
  • What amazed me was the efficiency and warmth throughout the entire process. From the interview to offer negotiation and receiving the offer letter, it all transpired within a mere four hours. The initial weeks were filled with orientation sessions that clearly explained my responsibilities and rights. What stood out to me was the open-door policy in HR, which, in my experience, felt more like an open ears and open heart policy.
    Psychiatrist
  • It was a smooth and efficient process from the initial interview, to discussing the employment offer, explaining the onboarding process, to my eventual start date. I had some special circumstances and Maudsley Health was quite supportive and accommodating through every step and made me feel welcomed and valued from the very beginning.
    Senior Occupational Therapist
  • My recruitment and onboarding process was seamless thanks to the team’s professionalism and support. It can be extremely overwhelming moving to a new country to start a new job, thankfully the team made the process worry free and as easy as possible. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of such a well-organized and inclusive workplace.
    Senior Nurse
  • The process was methodically structured, with proactive solicitation of necessary documentation, thereby streamlining the transition into my role. On induction day, I had a scheduled opportunity to meet with heads of departments, allowing me to gain valuable insights into the facility’s operations. This professional approach underscored Maudsley Health’s dedication to fostering employee engagement and professional growth.
