We are seeking a skilled and driven Claims and Redress Manager to lead and develop our approach to claims handling and redress across Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.
In this key leadership role, you will oversee and coordinate the Health Board’s claims and Redress caseload, ensuring timely, high-quality case management. You will apply a consistent and proportionate approach to escalation while maintaining effective relationships with legal partners and internal services to deliver robust outcomes.
You will provide specialist advice on Listening to People (LTP) and Redress processes, supporting staff and services to respond to concerns in a fair, compassionate and consistent way. A strong advocate of a just and learning culture, you will help embed approaches that prioritise openness, reflection and improvement.
A critical part of the role will involve driving organisational learning. You will analyse trends and themes arising from claims and redress cases, ensuring insights are translated into meaningful actions through governance frameworks. You will also support related inquest activity where appropriate, ensuring alignment and shared learning across functions.
This is an excellent opportunity for a confident leader with strong analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills, committed to improving patient safety and experience through effective claims and redress management.
Provide specialist leadership and coordination for CTMUHB’s clinical negligence and personal injury claims and LTP/Redress caseload, ensuring cases are progressed efficiently, within timescales, and in accordance with relevant legislation, guidance and local procedures, aligned to Listening to People (LTP) requirements (from 1 April 2026) and Redress processes.
All Personal Injury (PI) claims are conducted by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) Legal & Risk, and the post holder will act as CTMUHB’s internal case coordinator for PI claims, ensuring timely evidence collation, Datix record accuracy, action tracking and appropriate escalation. Redress matters up to the applicable LTP financial threshold (currently up to £50,000) will normally be progressed within the Health Board’s Redress arrangements, while matters above the threshold will normally be referred to NWSSP Legal & Risk for conduct (recognising that thresholds may change over time).
Working under the direction of the Lead Legal Services, coordinate evidence gathering, support witness statement development, liaise with NWSSP Legal & Risk/external legal advisors and Welsh Risk Pool, and provide clear advice to services on case management steps and escalation.
Support learning from claims and redress by identifying themes and risks, ensuring improvement actions are clearly recorded, owned and monitored through appropriate governance routes and panels.
