Job summary

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) is a new arms-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 IBCAs 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.

Job description

We are seeking an inspirational senior operations leader to oversee and lead multi-channel teams of claim managers, dedicated to providing high-quality service to claimants. This is a pivotal role that combines strategic direction, operational excellence, and empathetic leadership to ensure every claimant receives the support and compensation they deserve.

You will lead in a multi-channel environment, setting and communicating a clear strategic vision, balancing the big picture with operational and ministerial priorities. You will be operating with resilience and focus to meet challenging targets and align delivery with the organisations strategic objectives.

People leadership, management, and development of IBCA claim managers, including talent management and employee engagement;
Management of operational performance and quality and efficiency of service;
Develop a clear vision for customer service which delivers for today and the future, and drives excellent quality and customer experience.

This is a chance to make a meaningful difference to the lives of individuals affected by infected blood. You will lead a dedicated team in a supportive environment where health, well-being, and quality are at the core of everything we do.
