We are seeking an experienced senior leader to step into our Head of Service Delivery role, driving high‑quality service delivery across our PFI healthcare estate and setting the standard for operational excellence.
At Kudos, we deliver essential facilities management services across NHS healthcare buildings in the North‑West and London, on behalf of our LIFTCo clients & colleagues. Our work supports the smooth operation of critical public‑sector buildings that thousands of patients, clinicians and staff rely on every day. Our teams ensure that assets are maintained & performing effectively, to provide a positive experience for our clients and building users. As we continue to evolve and strengthen our operational capabilities, we are making a key senior leadership appointment that will play a pivotal role in shaping how we deliver service excellence across our PFI healthcare estate.
We are seeking an experienced and influential Head of Service Delivery to lead the operational performance, service delivery functions and strategic development of our FM service model. This senior role has end‑to‑end responsibility for the CAFM system, Helpdesk operations, subcontractor procurement and budget oversight, planned and reactive maintenance performance, annual and 5‑yearly lifecycle planning and governance reporting. As a key member of the leadership team, you will set direction, drive continuous improvement and ensure that all service delivery outcomes meet contractual, regulatory and internal performance requirements.
You will oversee the compliant production of the Project Monthly Report (PMR), lead development of annual PPM schedules, and implement effective procurement and supplier strategies that strengthen commercial performance. You will work closely with operational teams, finance, compliance and executive leadership, acting as the senior escalation point for operational issues and ensuring seamless communication across all functions. This is a critical leadership position where you will shape strategy and enhance FM performance.
You will be a senior FM professional with extensive experience delivering Hard FM services within a contractual, performance driven environment, ideally PFI/PPP. You combine operational excellence with strategic oversight, and you are comfortable influencing at executive level while also managing the continuous improvement of systems, teams and suppliers. With strong commercial awareness, you are skilled in budget management, procurement, KPI design and performance analysis, and thrive in roles where contract compliance and service quality must be balanced with operational efficiency.
As a leader, you are confident, assertive, and highly articulate, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, build credibility quickly, and make clear, evidence‑based decisions. You foster high‑performing teams, promote accountability and support the development of capability and talent. You will hold A‑Levels as a minimum, and ideally a relevant degree in Business Studies, Contract Management, Supply Chain Management or a related field. Above all, you are committed to delivering high‑quality, compliant and customer focused services that align with Kudos’ long‑term strategic goals.
You will bring an inclusive, team focused approach and positively contribute to a culture aligned with Kudos & FIM’s Mission, Vision and Values.
