In my current role, I lead and support a range of policy and practice projects within the themes of fair work, digital inclusion and the future of libraries. Relying on a diverse skills set, my work includes research and analysis, grant management and the development of in-person and online learning events, as well as writing blogs, articles and policy reports, and developing communication and advocacy plans. Team working and stakeholder relationships are key across all of my projects.

As part of the Practice and Development Team at Carnegie UK Trust, I was responsible for the coordination, completion and evaluation of assigned projects. Within the Trust's wide remit of wellbeing, my projects covered a diverse range of themes from creating tools to aid towns policy, supporting small-scale growing enterprises and exploring innovations in nurture education.

I was assigned this role over the course of the Trust's centenary celebrations in 2013 and led a number of the celebratory projects and events taking place during the year. A major focus of my work was the planning and organisation of the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy held in October 2013 and surrounding week-long festival.

Working in a small team, I was involved in all aspects of the week including delegate, speaker and VIP arrangements, design & production of online & print communications, media & PR and volunteer management. Other centenary events under my remit included the launch of the centenary book Pioneering Philanthropy at the National Library of Scotland and the visit of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to the Trust in Dunfermline. I also managed the design and creation of a centenary website. I worked with the policy and practice teams helping to ensure that events, communications and other external engagement projects were well designed and delivered. I was part of the core team for the practice project, TestTown, a UK-wide retail innovation competition for young people. The project culminated in a three-day festival with 11 pop-up businesses across Dunfermline. I was involved in the marketing and communications of the project from its launch to completion, and helped with on-site logistics across the weekend. Show less

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

I provided administrative support for a team of 16 support workers offering tenancy support to vulnerable people. I established two newsletters for different projects and helped to re-shape service from supported accommodation to visiting support through policies and procedures, and interaction with internal and external contacts. I reorganised the department’s efiling to simplify and streamline and improved systems for managing volunteers.
