Crynodeb

In recognition of the hurt caused by the infected blood scandal and highlighted by the Infected Blood Inquiry (IBI), the government has accepted the moral case for a compensation scheme to pay compensation to those infected and affected.

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) will ensure payment is made in recognition of the wrongs experienced by those who have been infected by HIV, Hepatitis B or C, as well as those who love and care for them. They have been frustrated and distressed by the delays in achieving proper recognition, and we must help put this right.

Please note this is not a Cabinet Office Role.

IBCA employees will be public servants. If successful in this role you will be appointed directly into IBCA, on IBCA terms and conditions as a public servant.

The Chief Executive leads the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA), an Arm’s-Length Body (ALB) established to assess and pay compensation and ongoing support payments to the victims of the infected blood scandal.

This role entails providing inspirational leadership to a large, multi-disciplinary workforce, acting as the Accounting Officer for £11.8 billion of compensation spend, and ensuring the successful and timely delivery of the scheme with accountability to the public and Parliament.

The post-holder is responsible for the rapid development, effective operation, and eventual timely closure of the authority, navigating significant organisational tensions such as balancing speed of payment with resource stewardship, sensitive treatment of victims with fraud minimisation, and ensuring both quality of employees and optimal cost-effective closure.

Context and Current Issues

IBCA operates within a uniquely challenging and highly sensitive environment. Established in response to the Infected Blood Inquiry, the Authority is tasked with building and running a compensation scheme that is equitable, legal, value for money, and resistant to fraud, under immense public scrutiny.

The role demands unprecedented speed in the full establishment of an ALB while simultaneously delivering compensation payments. This requires navigating continuous challenge and scrutiny from a highly engaged community and responding to Ministerial expectations for faster compensation payments.
