Summary
IBCA is responsible for delivering a compensation scheme that has been long awaited by the infected blood community to provide financial compensation to victims of infected blood on a UK-wide basis. It is critical to get this right, and act fast which will rely on delivering high-quality business intelligence and performance assessment to create understanding, and give perspective that will help IBCA meet its objectives and solve problems along the way.
Working at IBCA gives you a huge opportunity to make an impact on those who deserve compensation, and suits a candidate looking to bring their critical thinking, leadership and insight driven mindset to make a real impact to real people.
Opportunities to move to the new Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). At the moment all IBCA roles are hosted by Cabinet Office within the Civil Service. However, once IBCA becomes operational, it is anticipated that most of these roles will transfer to IBCA, which is a new Arms Length Body (ALB) separate from the Cabinet Office. Roles that transfer to IBCA from Cabinet Office will maintain the same or substantially the same terms and conditions of employment that are overall no less favourable. It is anticipated that employees who move from Cabinet Office to IBCA will be able to continue to participate in the Civil Service Pension arrangements with no break in their pensionable service. Roles commencing after IBCA has become operational will be with IBCA itself on similar terms and conditions. All successful candidates will receive full details of the terms and conditions of employment for their role with their formal job offer.
Please note that the mission of IBCA means that it is likely to be operational for a period of approximately 5 to 7 years. When IBCA’s work begins to wind down, IBCA employees will receive support and practical guidance to find a new role, whether in the Civil Service, another Arms Length Body (ALB), or an external employer.
The postholder will help to shape, design and develop of data solutions to produce timely, accurate and accessible operational management information and analysis to support forecasting, managing fraud and assessing performance and efficiency so those infected are at the heart of policy and decision making in IBCA.
The role provides the opportunity to help shape and lead on the technical side of a critical business intelligence function.
As the Senior Performance Analyst, you will manage a small team of analysts in building dashboards and producing statistics, driving the delivery of operational insights that will inform the Executive Committee, policy and operational leads, other IBCA functions and across the UK government about how we get it right for the infected blood community.

You’ll work with your team to unpack data from across the organisation to tackle challenges IBCA will face including operational efficiency, forecasting, fraud mitigation & detection and more – as well as developing insights and confidently communicating these to stakeholders in ways that they connect best with.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a drive for social impact to join the advanced analytics and intelligence team in its early stages and hit the ground running, quickly getting to grips with the technical detail of how we would measure success of a greenfield organisation set up at pace.
You’ll be a team leader to a small group of analysts, providing technical leadership and line management to your team. You’ll work with the Advanced Analytics & Intelligence leadership team to help guide technical solutions and help improve the transparency and performance of the service.
