The Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) is a new arm’s-length body set up, at unprecedented pace, to administer compensation to people whose lives have been impacted by the infected blood scandal.
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.
We are committed to putting the infected and affected blood community at the centre of every decision we make and every step we take to build our organisation to deliver compensation payments.
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.
Successful applicants will join the Civil Service Pension Scheme.
Please note that the mission of IBCA means that it is likely to be fully operational for a period of approximately up to 5 years, after which IBCA will become a smaller residual service. 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.
IBCA seeks an outstanding, passionate highly analytical senior analyst who can build out the business intelligence capabilities of IBCA, driving better transparency and decision making in the interest of victims of infected blood.
The postholder will help to shape, design and develop data solutions to produce timely, accurate and accessible operational management information and analysis to support forecasting, external statistics, 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.
