Why Interim Management for a charity or not-for-profit organisation?

• A fast and reliable way to source highly experienced and specialised executives (for example during a time of change when additional resource is needed or to fill a leadership gap due to an extended illness or someone leaving unexpectedly)
• You gain a wealth of knowledge and expertise to tackle a problem where there is no suitable professional resource in-house
• A new and objective point of view
• Interim managers can concentrate on the job in hand, as they won’t be distracted by day-to-day issues and office politics
• The long-lasting value of skills learnt – a good interim manager will ensure an effective transfer of skills to your team
• There are no hidden costs – you only pay for the days an interim manager works, so this can be a cost-effective way of accessing experienced, high-calibre professionals who deliver a flexible recruitment option.

What can EP Help You With?

We have a substantial record of appointing to leadership and change management roles on an interim basis. Via our extensive networks of experienced and proven leaders across the UK, we can provide interim expertise within just a few days, covering the full spectrum of senior interim resource needs.

As well as traditional uses for interim – such as filling a gap in recruitment whilst you wait for a new member of the senior management team to start, covering maternity/paternity leave, or covering for sabbaticals or long-term sickness absence – you may also consider bringing in an interim manager to:

• Manage a period of change in your organisation
• Bring in new skills, experience or expertise on a flexible, short term basis
• Get a new project or idea off the ground
• Tender for a contract, write a bid or implement a new contract quickly
• Manage a re-organisation or restructure
• Project manage a merger or partnership.
