We are seeking an experienced and commercially astute FP&A Manager to lead and evolve the financial planning & analysis function within a high-growth, private equity-backed healthcare platform.
This is a pivotal, high-impact role positioned at the centre of financial decision-making. You will work closely with the CFO and senior leadership team, supporting strategic initiatives, capital allocation decisions, and ongoing business professionalisation. The role offers significant exposure to capital markets activity, investor engagement, and potential board-level involvement.
Operating within a complex, multi-entity and multi-site structure, you will play a critical role in enhancing financial visibility, strengthening planning processes, and embedding a more disciplined, insight-driven performance culture across the organisation.
This is not a maintenance role – it is an opportunity to build, shape, and elevate FP&A in a scaling business environment.

- Assess and interpret the impact of accounting policy changes on financial performance and reporting
Governance, Reporting & Strategic Involvement
- Support the preparation of board-level reporting materials, delivering clear, insight-led commentary
- Contribute to clinic-level or business unit boards where appropriate
- Enhance the quality, consistency, and relevance of management information across the organisation
- Play a key role in ongoing business professionalisation, helping transition the organisation to a more structured, data-driven operating model
