Claire Smith’s Expertise A self-motivated, determined individual with excellent organisational skills who responds well to new challenges. My career has focused on providing project support, building relationships and acquiring a sound knowledge of project management practices across the private, public and third sectors. I have a good track record of establishing best practice in project monitoring and outcomes reporting. I have worked with various funders including European funding, Welsh and National Government, Local Authority, Charities and funding trusts and submitting claims to draw down funding and monitor budgets. Key achievements include: - Developing a local authority services directory helping people to identify organisations that meet their specific needs and establishing a mechanism to update and revise the data. - Establishing new reporting techniques to reflect fundamental changes in project outcomes and reporting to funders by designing questionnaires to measure longitudinal changes in individuals' attitudes and confidence to manage money. - Writing a detailed specification to successfully integrate project reporting and monitoring into a bespoke internal Customer Relationship Management system improving reporting to funders and stakeholders. - Sharing best practice to implement organisation-wide improvements by updating monitoring and reporting mechanisms for a European funded project with a budget of more than £700,000. - Establishing good working relationships with Welsh Government contract managers while coordinating a New Business Starts contract, leading teams in best practice by producing formal guidelines, preparing and delivering presentations on how to complete contractual paperwork. - Instrumental member of a team implementing a marketing strategy to pro-actively increase client numbers following the withdrawal of national marketing from the Business Eye service. Enquiries rose from an average of 45 per month to a consistent average of 120 within a few weeks.
