JOB SUMMARY

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.

JOB DESCRIPTION

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.
