The Opportunity

It’s a great time to join MapAction. We have a new strategy, and our work is more relevant, impactful and needed than ever. The foundations on which to grow strong income streams are in place.  MapAction’s reputation in the humanitarian and geospatial sectors is excellent and will open doors if we knock on them, giving us the ability to make an even bigger difference to the ways in which humanitarian crises are managed, now and into the future. 

Partnerships with all kinds of supporters have enabled MapAction to achieve what it has so far and we can see enormous potential to build many more great donor partnerships, across trusts, foundations, High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and business. 

If you are a skilled, proactive and experienced fundraising professional with a passion for helping the world’s most vulnerable people you can play a big role in making that happen. 

With your help we aim to take the above areas to the next level. Your success will be vital to MapAction’s new strategy, which aims to deliver reduced loss of life, livelihoods and suffering for people at risk from emergencies. It's motivating.

The charity has attracted funding from a range of governments and donors of all kinds.  We have built a strong reputation in the humanitarian sector and are a technical partner of the United Nations, Non-Government Organisations, the Red Cross, Red Crescent Movement, regional entities and national authorities. 

At MapAction, training and team building are at the heart of our organisational culture. We have frequent meet-ups where paid staff and volunteers get together for training opportunities and skill-sharing, in areas such as fieldwork, emergency preparedness and GIS technical development. 

The humanitarian sector is evolving, and technical expertise such as GIS, mapping, data processing and visualisation is becoming increasingly sought after in order to ensure continuous improvement in humanitarian response. MapAction and our partners are uniquely positioned to provide this technical expertise, to ensure the most effective coordination of relief efforts.

Registered charity no: 1185078

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.

What You Will Be Doing

 Operational:

• Have significant autonomy in growing our trust income by prospecting and building relationships with new trusts to increase our portfolio and maximise multi-year funding and growth.
• Identify prospects and develop and manage pipelines for statutory funding from both regional and national grants in England and Wales in the health and education sectors.
