Interim Estates & Asset Management (Outside IR35)

Interim Estates Services Consultant (Outside IR35)

Estates & Facilities | Reporting to COO | Hybrid / Site as required | 8-week assignment | Start: ASAP

The Brief

We’re seeking a senior, hands‑on estates FRICS professional to deliver two rapid, evidence‑led reviews across a mixed operational and investment property portfolio and a large sports & social facility. You’ll diagnose risk, strengthen governance, and identify practical opportunities to improve compliance, performance, and income.

What You’ll Do

You will conduct parallel, fast‑paced reviews across:

• Audit rent roll integrity, tenancy/lease documentation, arrears, and occupancy data.
• Test compliance with key statutory duties (e.g., landlord & tenant, immigration, H&S).
• Assess risks across security, licensing, insurance, tenant behaviour, maintenance, and site standards.
• Examine governance, record‑keeping, and control frameworks.
• Evaluate operational efficiency and income optimisation opportunities using data audits and site inspections.

Sports & Social Facility

• Review membership administration, bookings/facility hire, revenue streams, and debt.
• Test compliance across licensing, safeguarding, H&S, and employment checks.
• Identify operational, financial, and compliance risks across users, insurance, security, and maintenance.
• Assess governance, records, performance, and commercial improvement opportunities.

Outcome

Produce clear, prioritised recommendations with defined future‑state actions, presented to the Board in May 2026.

What We’re Looking For

• FRICS (or equivalent) estates/property leader with a track record of complex operational and statutory reviews across diverse assets.
• Strong analytical capability: confident interrogating rent rolls, tenancy files, income data, and operational processes to surface risk and opportunity.
• Deep working knowledge of relevant legislation (landlord & tenant, immigration, H&S, licensing, safeguarding, modern slavery).
• Comfortable on site: inspecting assets, challenging tenants/users, leading data audits, and translating findings into evidence‑based insight.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement across staff, tenants, users, and senior leaders.
• Organised, decisive, and able to work at pace to fixed deadlines.
