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.

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.

Who we are
Apps for Good exists to ensure ALL young people have the tech innovation skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.
We have over a decade of experience providing free tech innovation courses to almost 240,000 UK young people. Our courses give students the skills and determination to shape their future through technology, while giving teachers the support and confidence to deliver high quality computing content and resources.
More than half of the schools we work with are in challenging circumstances and we’re committed to offering an opportunity for all. We’re proud to partner with leading brands such as Lego, Spotify, and Google to keep our course content 100% free to schools. Students benefit from industry expertise from over 300 industry volunteers.
We’re now embarking on an exciting new chapter. Young people, especially those with experience of disadvantage, are not learning the skills they need to create innovative solutions to climate change. We have created a new programme, Innovate for Climate Change, building on our existing methodology, experience and networks, so that young people can thrive in a transformed post-carbon economy.
The team
We are a small, close-knit, ambitious and energetic team who all believe strongly in our mission and values. We’re currently working very effectively remotely and will continue to be a distributed team with regular days together in London.

Our partnerships enhance young people’s learning experience, support our strategy and give us the funding we need to remain free and accessible to as many young people as possible. We believe that this collaboration is essential to bridge education and industry.
As part of a small team, you’ll get to work hands-on to drive our fundraising, contributing your ideas and insights directly to our strategy.
