FIM (Fulcrum Infrastructure Management) is a management services company, managing social infrastructure assets on behalf of our parent company; global infrastructure investment company, Meridiam.

Our LIFTco (NHS Health Centre companies) team is responsible for 17 buildings in the North West and 18 in London, and we are now seeking an experienced and pro-active Interim Operations Manager to join our dynamic team in London.

The Role

In this critical role, you will be responsible for overseeing daily operations and implementing strategic initiatives to enhance efficiency and productivity across various departments. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented individual who is passionate about driving operational excellence and is adept at managing diverse teams in a fast-paced consulting environment.

You will work closely with senior management to assess current operational processes, identify areas for improvement, and execute effective solutions that align with our company's objectives.

The ideal candidate will possess excellent leadership skills, a strong analytical mindset, and the ability to foster collaboration among team members.

About you

As an Interim Operations Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that the organisation meets its operational goals while maintaining a high standard of quality in service delivery. Your expertise will be instrumental in shaping our operational strategies, making an immediate impact on our consulting practices, and setting the groundwork for sustainable growth and success.

Working to a strong values framework and positively influencing change will be important to you. The health centres are of significant importance to the local community, and you will be passionate about helping to drive their performance and facilitating change of use and provision where appropriate to support the continued needs of the client.

You may not have experience in a healthcare setting, although this would be desirable, but you must have at least 5 years' experience in an equivalent social infrastructure PFI model, such as education or 'blue light'.

An understanding of project companies, SPV's and financial management in this environment is desirable.
