This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact while leading a dedicated team in a vital role. If you are passionate about recruitment and want to contribute to a compassionate mission, apply now to be part of an organisation that is committed to supporting those affected by historical injustices. As we establish IBCA as an employer of choice, we are committed to building a resilient and effective workforce that reflects our mission and vision.

Are you ready to take on a pivotal role in an organisation making a genuine difference? 

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. All successful candidates will receive full details of the terms and conditions of employment for their role with their formal job offer.

Please note that the mission of IBCA means that it is likely to be operational for a period of approximately 5 to 7 years. When IBCA's 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.
