Register a Role with Reach

Welcome to Reach. Skilled professionals from across the UK register with us to find fulfilling roles. They are eager to help, but it is important that you design a role which will attract the right volunteers to meet your organisation's needs. Skilled volunteering roles can be quite different from other types of volunteer roles, so even if you have a lot of experience with volunteer management we suggest you read our guidance before registering your role.

Skilled volunteering roles are different from other types of volunteering in a number of ways. For one thing, volunteers know they will be using their professional skills so the organisation's cause and culture can be very important factors in their decision to take on a role. Providing marketing advice or managing financial administration is likely to be fairly similar no matter where you do it. In these cases, volunteers will look at the organisation itself and decide whether they want to volunteer there.

Registering a role with Reach could not be easier - just download the appropriate registration form depending on what kind of volunteer you are looking for:

Potential volunteers will be very interested to find out as much as they can about your organisation before committing to your role. They'll want to know what you do, but they will also want to get a sense of what it might be like to be involved with you. For example, some volunteers look for an organisation which is formal and has a structured office environment while others will prefer a more casual and laid back atmosphere. There is no right way to be – one person's "casual and friendly" could be another's "unstructured and unprofessional." The important thing is to find a volunteer who is looking for the atmosphere you have!
