About the appointment

Introduction

Dear Candidate,

Thank you for your interest in this important role. The successful candidates will provide independent oversight and strategic guidance to the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA), which has been set up to address the harm caused to individuals and their families by contaminated blood products. 

This is no ordinary Arm’s-Length Body. IBCA, which was created in May 2024, has been given the key task of supporting people’s eligibility for compensation and ensuring that victims receive their entitlement as quickly as possible.

The Board, consisting of executive as well as non-executive members, works collaboratively, making decisions largely by consensus. It is in this context that we are looking for two exceptional leaders to join our Board.

All of our Non-Executive Directors are encouraged to take part in meetings with the infected blood community, listening to victims and their representatives. We continuously learn from them how to develop and improve the service we offer. Our Board members are also encouraged to do more than seek conventional assurance and to proactively support the executive with their experiences. 

If you share our passion and want to make a real difference to victims of this scandal and their families, then we hope you will consider joining the IBCA Board. 

Sir Robert Francis KC

Appointment description

Background to the role

The interim Chair of IBCA, Sir Robert Francis, is seeking to appoint two permanent Non-Executive Directors to help further shape the Board and its focus.

Alongside sitting on the IBCA board, you will be expected to work with both officials and members of the community to ensure that IBCA delivers its strategic objectives and pays compensation to the infected and affected members of the community as soon as possible.

As a new incoming Non-Executive Director, you will be able to make a long-term impact on the running of a high-profile organisation, supporting people to receive the compensation that they are entitled to, whilst ensuring that the process is as easy as possible. 

Role Description

The Non-Executive Board Member aspect of the role is varied and covers a range of issues. Each month may differ; however, general activities include:

• Acting as a trusted sounding board to senior officials as appropriate, including operational delivery, financial management, risk appetite, talent/people, technology and management information.

• Providing mentorship, scrutiny, challenge and advice about the operational implications of policy, delivery and transformation proposals by:

• Reviewing the organisation's business plans and challenging progress;
• Scrutinising reporting from the organisation on performance and challenging IBCA on its appropriateness as well as progress.

• Supporting and ensuring appropriate approval processes are followed, identifying and mitigating risks, and ensuring pragmatic governance is adhered to.

• Undertaking deep dives into key areas of risk and material delivery challenges.

We are recruiting for two specialist roles:

Customer Journey Non-Executive

Delivering a fair, compassionate and user-centred experience and service.

IBCA’s purpose is to deliver fair compensation to those infected and affected. The Authority is committed to ensuring that no significant step in its lifecycle will take place without the Authority listening to and learning from the community, as well as ensuring, through sensitive and proactive communication and transparency, that all concerned understand what IBCA is doing and the reasons for its decisions.

As operational policy and design develop, strong insight into claimant experience and journeys will be required. Strengthening this area will support a process that is empathetic, inclusive, trauma-informed and trusted by its users.

Accordingly, the Authority will welcome applications from individuals who can evidence leadership-level experience in techniques of co-designing service policy and delivery with users, ensuring that the claimant experience and journey drives operational design.

The successful individual is likely to have held leadership roles in organisations or services requiring sensitive relationships with service users, and an understanding of how service design, communication and delivery can be shaped around user needs to build trust and confidence.

The successful candidate should also have a profound understanding of the deep hurt, systemic failure, and long-term suffering experienced by the victims. This requires strategic leadership that guarantees the Authority's process is designed to prevent re-traumatisation, ensuring every decision is shaped with the community's involvement, and is dedicated to rebuilding trust with those we serve.

Digital and Technology Transformation Non-Executive

Development of a data and digital-driven service for claims managers and users.

IBCA’s priority is to build a data and digitally-driven system that underpins the effective delivery of the compensation scheme. The Authority is committed to ensuring that its systems, processes and digital platforms are secure, efficient and user-focused, enabling the delivery of accurate and timely compensation. 

Strengthening digital capability will maximise the use of technology to support efficient working, effective data management, and value for money, while ensuring systems are designed efficiently and with empathy for users.

Accordingly, the Authority will welcome applications from individuals who can evidence strategic understanding and experience of developing and overseeing data and digital systems, with a proven record of using technology to improve operational performance, resilience, value for money and service quality.

The successful individual is likely to have held leadership roles in organisations or services requiring responsive and empathetic relationships with users, and an appreciation of how digital platforms can be designed efficiently, securely and responsibly to meet user needs.

Organisation description

About Us

The Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) is an independent, Non-Departmental Public Body established by the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024. Our function is to pay compensation in accordance with the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme to eligible individuals impacted and affected by the contaminated blood scandal. 

Our duties are set out in the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024, sections 47 to 57, and Schedule 1, and the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025. We operate independently of the UK, Scottish, and Welsh governments and the Northern Ireland Executive. We are funded through the UK Cabinet Office.

Our Governance

IBCA is committed to the highest standards of governance so that we operate efficiently, transparently and meet our strategic objectives. 

We have a framework agreement which has been agreed with the Cabinet Office, our sponsoring department and HMT. The framework document sets out the broad governance framework within which IBCA and the Cabinet Office operate. 

It sets out IBCA’s core responsibilities, describes the governance and accountability framework that applies between the roles of the Cabinet Office and IBCA, and sets out how the day-to-day relationship works in practice, including in relation to governance and financial matters.

About the Board

The Board sits at the centre of leading how IBCA is set up, how it operates, and how it drives a process of continuous improvement so that the organisation can better serve the Infected Blood Community.

The purpose of the Board is to agree the strategic direction, to provide advice, scrutiny and challenge on how it is delivered, to monitor performance and advise on significant risks.

The agenda for the Board is set by the Chair in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer.

Due to the purpose of the organisation and the large sums of money involved in the compensation scheme, the risk profile for IBCA is far broader than in most ALBs. A monthly process is used to identify and report overarching strategic risks that could have a significant adverse impact on IBCA’s ability to operate or meet its strategic priorities.

Committees of the Board include the Audit and Risk Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the Quality & Performance Committee, which is in the process of being established.

In addition to these committees, the Clinical Panel and the Community Panel are also in the process of being established to support the Board’s work. These are advisory panels that will ensure that our policies and decision-making are informed by expert advice and by the experiences of those we support. 

The Authority operates under a unitary board structure, comprising both Non-Executive and Executive members.

Overview of the application process

Public appointments are made on merit following a fair and open competition process which is conducted in accordance with the Governance Code for Public Appointments. We will deal with your application as quickly as possible and will keep you informed at key stages. We aim to conclude the appointment process within three months of the deadline for applications – this is in accordance with the Governance Code.

The assessment process

1. The Chair of the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) is responsible and accountable to Parliament for the public appointments made within their department.

2. An Advisory Assessment Panel (“Panel”) is appointed by the Chair to assist them in their decision making. The role of the Panel is to decide, objectively, which candidates meet the eligibility criteria for the role.

3. At the shortlisting meeting the Panel will assess applications against the eligibility criteria and decide which candidates have best met the criteria, who should be recommended for interview. If you have applied under the Disability Confident Scheme and you meet all the essential criteria, then you will also be invited for an interview.

4. You will be advised (by e-mail) whether you have been shortlisted. Those shortlisted will be invited to an interview.

5. The Panel will meet again to interview candidates and determine who is appointable to the role. The Panel may invite you to make a brief presentation at the start of the interview and will go on to question you about your skills and experience, including asking specific questions to assess whether you meet the criteria set out for the post. The Panel will also explore with you any potential conflicts of interest or any other issues arising from your personal and professional history which may impact on an appointment decision.

6. It is then for the Chair to determine merit and decide who should be appointed. In some circumstances, the Chair may choose not to appoint any candidates and re-run the competition.

7. Candidates who have been interviewed will be kept informed of progress.

8. Once the decision on the appointment has been made, interviewed candidates will be advised of the outcome of their application, including whom they may approach for feedback. Successful candidates will be issued with their Terms & Conditions and a letter of appointment should they agree to take up the position.

AAP’s perform a number of functions, including agreeing an assessment strategy with ministers, undertaking sifting, carrying out interviews in line with the advertised criteria and deciding objectively who meets the published selection criteria for the role before recommending to ministers which candidates they find appointable. It is then for the minister to decide who to appoint to the role.

Eligibility criteria

In general, you should have the right to work in the UK to be eligible to apply for a public appointment.

There are a small number of specialist roles that are not open to non-British citizens. Any nationality requirements will be specified in the vacancy details.

You cannot be considered for a public appointment if:

• you are disqualified from acting as a company director  (under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986);

• have an unspent conviction on your criminal record;

Additional information for candidates

Equality and diversity

We encourage applications from talented individuals from all backgrounds and across the whole of the United Kingdom. Boards of public bodies are most effective when they reflect the diversity of views of the society they serve.

We collect data about applicants’ characteristics and backgrounds, including information about people’s educational and professional backgrounds, so that we can make sure we are attracting a broad range of people to these roles and that our selection processes are fair for everyone. Without this information, it makes it difficult to see if our outreach is working, if the application process is having an unfair impact on certain groups and whether changes are making a positive difference.

When you submit your application, your responses are collected by the Cabinet Office and the government department(s) managing your application. The data is used to produce management information about the diversity of applicants. You can select “prefer not to say” to any question you do not wish to answer. The information you provide will not be seen by the Advisory Assessment Panel who review applications against the advertised criteria and conduct interviews.

Disability confident

We are a member of the Government’s Disability Confident scheme. We use the Disability Confident scheme symbol, along with other like-minded employers, to show our commitment to good practice in employing people with a disability. The scheme helps recruit and retain disabled people. As part of implementing the scheme, we guarantee an interview for a proportionate number of candidates with a disability whose application meets the essential criteria for the role, set out in the advert, and who has asked that their application is considered under the scheme. Indicating that you wish your application to be considered under the scheme will in no way prejudice your application. By ‘essential criteria', we mean that you must provide evidence which demonstrates that you meet the level of competence required under each of the essential criteria, as set out in the job-advert. When you apply you will have the opportunity to select if you would like your application considered under this scheme.

Reasonable adjustments

We are committed to making reasonable adjustments to make sure applicants with disabilities, physical or mental health conditions, or other needs are not substantially disadvantaged when applying for public appointments. This can include changing the recruitment process to enable people who wish to apply to do so.

Some examples of common changes are:

• ensuring that application forms are available in different or accessible formats;
• making adaptations to interview locations;
• allowing candidates to present their skills and experience in a different way;
• giving additional detailed information on the selection / interview process in advance to allow candidates time to prepare themselves;
• allowing support workers, for example sign language interpreters;
• making provision for support animals to attend.

When you apply you will have the opportunity to request reasonable adjustments to the application process.

Principles of public life

The Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles) apply to anyone who works as a public office-holder.

1. Selflessness

Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.

2. Integrity

Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.

3. Objectivity

Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.

4. Accountability

Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this.

5. Openness

Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing.

6. Honesty

Holders of public office should be truthful.

7. Leadership

Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour and treat others with respect. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.

Code of conduct for board members

The Government expects all holders of public office to work to the highest personal and professional standards. In support of this, all non-executive board members of UK public bodies must abide by the principles set out in the Code of Conduct for Board Members of Public Bodies. The Code sets out the standards expected from those who serve on the boards of UK public bodies and will form part of your terms and conditions of appointment.

Management of outside interests and consideration of reputational issues

Holders of public office are expected to adhere and uphold the Seven Principles of Public Life and the Code of Conduct for Board Members of Public Bodies. Before you apply you should consider carefully: 

• any outside interests that you may have, such as shares you may hold in a company providing services to government; 
• any possible reputational issues arising from your past actions or public statements that you have made; 
• and/or - any political roles you hold or political campaigns you have supported; 

which may call into question your ability to do the role you are applying for.

You will need to answer relevant questions in relation to these points when making an application. Many conflicts of interest can be satisfactorily resolved and declaring a potential conflict does not prevent you from being interviewed. If you are shortlisted for an interview, the panel will discuss any potential conflicts with you during that interview, including any proposals you may have to mitigate them and record that in their advice to ministers. Alongside your own declaration, we will conduct appropriate checks, as part of which we will consider anything in the public domain related to your conduct or professional capacity. This may include searches of previous public statements and social media, blogs or any other publicly available information. The successful candidate(s) may be required to give up any conflicting interests and their other business and financial interests may be published in line with organisational policies. 

Details of declared political activity will be published when the appointment is announced, as required by the Governance Code (political activity is not a bar to appointment, but must be declared).

Status of appointment

As this is an office holder appointment, you will not become a member of the Civil Service. You will not be subject to the provisions of employment law.

Appointment and tenure of office

Appointments are for the term set out in this advert, with the possibility of re-appointment for a further term, at the discretion of Ministers.  Any re-appointment is subject to satisfactory annual appraisals of performance during the first term in the post. There is no automatic presumption of reappointment; each case should be considered on its own merits, taking into account a number of factors including, but not restricted to, the diversity of the current board and its balance of skills and experience. In most cases, the total time served in post will not exceed more than two terms or ten years in any one post. 

Remuneration, allowances and abatement

Remuneration for this role is treated as employment income and will be subject to tax and National Insurance contributions, both of which will be deducted at source under PAYE before you are paid.

You can claim reimbursement for reasonable travel and subsistence costs which are properly and necessarily incurred on official business, in line with the travel and subsistence policy and rates for the organisation to which you are applying. However these payments are taxable as earnings and will be subject to tax and national insurance, both of which will be deducted at source under PAYE before you are paid. 

Pension and redundancy

This is an office holder appointment and does not attract any benefits under any Civil Service Pension Scheme. You will not be eligible for redundancy pay as you are not an employee. No other arrangements have been made for compensation upon the end of your term of appointment because an office holder who is appointed for a limited duration would have no expectation of serving beyond that period.

Application feedback

We will notify you of the status of your application. We regret that we are only able to offer detailed feedback to candidates who have been unsuccessful at the interview stage.

How to complain

We aim to process all applications as quickly as possible and to treat all applicants with courtesy.

Please contact the  Cabinet Office Partnerships & Appointments Team via copa.partnerships@cabinetoffice.gov.uk if you would like to make a complaint regarding your application. They will acknowledge your complaint upon receipt and respond within 15 working days.
