Full Job Description
Opportunities to move to the new Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). At the moment all IBCA roles are hosted by Cabinet Office within the Civil Service. However, once IBCA becomes operational, it is anticipated that most of these roles will transfer to IBCA, which is a new Arms Length Body (ALB) separate from the Cabinet Office. Roles that transfer to IBCA from Cabinet Office will maintain the same or substantially the same terms and conditions of employment that are overall no less favourable. It is anticipated that employees who move from Cabinet Office to IBCA will be able to continue to participate in the Civil Service Pension arrangements with no break in their pensionable service. Roles commencing after IBCA has become operational will be with IBCA itself on similar terms and conditions.

+ Assist with Quality Assurance (non-financial) as demand dictates;
+ Offer expert guidance on compensation calculations to progress cases effectively;
+ Lead initiatives in an agile environment, contributing to the development of a product while embracing challenges with adaptability and innovation;
+ Ensure Accurate Compensation Calculations: Provide expert validation and assurance for compensation calculations, guaranteeing fairness and accuracy in all cases;
+ Maintain Process Assurance and Compliance: Uphold and reinforce robust processes to ensure compliance with policies and regulations, fostering integrity and transparency;
+ Guarantee Payment Accuracy: Conduct meticulous checks to confirm payment amounts are correct, ensuring claimants receive what they are rightfully owed;
+ Running reports for finance: Actuals: awards made, payments made, current stock of liabilities; cash forecast: live claims likely to be awarded; lump sum and recurrent payments forecast;
+ Creating more sophisticated modelling for payment forecasts once we see actual claimant choices, values and volumes., Should you be successful at sift, you will be invited to attend an interview where you will be assessed on experience and strengths.
