Senior corporate fundraiser jobs near Birmingham, West Midlands

MOVE Europe’s (registered name The Move Partnership) vision is for every disabled young person to have choice and opportunities by learning independent movement. Our mission is to enable disabled young people to gain independent mobility through the use of the MOVE Programme, a 6-step programme used collaboratively in all aspects of an individual’s life, throughout their whole day, by all of the people that work and live with them. The MOVE ethos is centred around a ‘can-do’ approach, where everyone around the individual dares to dream and works on ambitious goals set by the child and their family. Because of this approach, individuals on the MOVE Programme achieve significant positive outcomes, and progress is usually made much quicker than if the person was just accessing traditional therapy services alone.

We work to achieve our mission through delivering the following activities throughout the UK to over 140 schools and therapy teams. Most of our current work is funded by trading income, where teams purchase our services and access support through membership.

• Training: we deliver high-quality training that empowers education and therapy teams to use the MOVE Programme with the disabled individuals they support.
• Support: we provide support services and quality assurance for the teams that use the MOVE Programme to ensure best practice and great outcomes for the disabled individuals they support. This includes network meetings, conferences, the MOVE Quality Mark, 1:1 support, webinars and CPD opportunities.
• Growth: we develop the MOVE Programme across the UK and Europe to reach as many disabled young people as possible who could benefit.

Role Overview

Join us at MOVE Europe in our 25th year of enabling disabled young people to learn independence through movement, as our Senior Trusts and Statutory Fundraiser. Reporting to the Director of MOVE Europe, and joining a small, agile, and highly effective team, the owner of this role will play a pivotal part in the organisation’s growth ambitions. 

The main purpose of the role is to develop and lead the organisation’s trust and statutory fundraising, working to grow a portfolio of new funders of various sizes (4 – 5 figures) and, through effective communication and stewardship, secure income for the organisation, as part of our 3-year strategy. As a new role within the team, the post-holder will have a brilliant opportunity to develop and lead our fundraising activity to create real change for the young people we support.

As with the rest of the MOVE Europe team, the post-holder will be employed by Enham Trust, but will be seconded to the MOVE Europe organisation.

This is an exciting time to join Muscular Dystrophy Support Centre (MDSC) as Head of Fundraising! We are a small charity that is looking to grow and is ambitious to increase our impact. We are a dynamic, supportive and committed team, and we offer a flexible working environment.

MDSC’s mission is to transform access to physical therapies for people with muscular dystrophy (MD) in the Midlands. Established in 2012, MDSC was set up and led by people with, or affected by, MD. From our main centre in Coventry, and with satellite clinics in Birmingham, the Black Country, and Leicester, we currently support over 450 adults with MD, by providing specialist physiotherapy, osteopathy and complementary therapies on a long-term basis.  We are the only organisation in the Midlands region to do so, and one of only two in the UK.

In 2019 MDSC received monies from the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) underpinning our 5-year strategy to increase our service user numbers and therapy hours offered.  By 2025 we plan to be supporting over 1,100 people with MD and be providing therapy at two more satellite clinics in Worcestershire and Northamptonshire – improving access for people with MD in the Midlands to vital therapies that enable them to live well with their condition. 

We currently receive around 37% of our income from NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups (charitable activities income) and the remainder is voluntary income which the postholder will be responsible for (35% is from trusts and foundations, 19% from NLCF and the balance from service user donations / community fundraising).

The role of Head of Fundraising is a key leadership position, and its purpose is to inspire others and generate income. With the support of everyone within the Charity the post holder will be championed to meet income targets that will enable us to enhance and expand our services over the coming years.

This role would be great for an established Head of Fundraising, or a candidate who has deep trusts and foundations experience and who would like to build on and diversify their fundraising skills base, enhancing/ developing their leadership capabilities.
