Crynodeb

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority has recently been established to pay compensation to those who have been infected and affected by the infected blood scandal. The IBCA Data Governance team sits within the wider Data Directorate, and is currently staffed by leads for Data Protection, Knowledge and Information Management, and Information Rights and Disclosure.

A vacancy has opened for a Data Acquisition and Quality Lead to lead on engagement with stakeholders who hold the data which IBCA requires in order to deliver its services, and to ensure that the quality of this is optimised and maintained so as to extract maximum accuracy and value.


IBCA has been granted statutory powers to enable it to acquire data to support the administration of the infected blood compensation scheme. This role will focus on the use of those powers to ensure they are exercised in an effective and compliant way.


This vacancy is for a G7 workstream lead, which will work within the Data Governance team, alongside three other G7 members of staff who manage the other Data Governance functions.


The post holder will collaborate with those colleagues in order to ensure that data is acquired in a way which is compliant with data protection legislation and is stored in appropriately secure environments. The post holder will also work with Operational and Policy colleagues to determine the nature of the data required, and that this is fit for purpose to support IBCA’s service delivery.

The successful candidate will lead on providing data product management skills focused on:

• Building a data acquisition strategy, taking into account immediate needs for data, as well as longer term systemic data acquisition approaches
• Identifying data for acquisition
• Interpreting available data assets to ensure data meets IBCA’s needs
• Identifying optimal stakeholders who hold data which IBCA requires
• Engaging and working with stakeholders to negotiate access to the data they hold
• Drafting and maintaining agreements, such as MoUs, DSAs, data processing contracts and deeds, ensuring these align with relevant legislation
• Designing specific policy approaches for acquisition of key datasets by IBCA
• Manage data quality standards, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, consistency, and validity


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.
