How to create an organisation profile

How do I create an organisation profile?

1. First, create your personal account. You will be asked to provide a name, display name and email address, and this will be the information you use to log into Reach. Once you've submitted your details, you'll receive a verification email to complete your account set up. Click on the link in this email to set up your personal account.

2. When you next login, you should see the ‘Create or Join an organisation’ prompt on your dashboard: 

3. The next two pages explain how Reach works, and outlines the potential costs for using Reach. It's free to recruit skills-based volunteers, and we only charge larger organisations for trustee recruitment. Read more about when and what we charge.

4. After this, you will be directed to complete your organisation profile. We'll use this information to check you meet our criteria, and then to create your public profile.

Completing the organisation form

1. Search your organisation’s name to see if it already exists and click Search.

2. If your organisation already exists, you will not need to create a profile from scratch. Instead you can click on Request to join, and make the request to join the existing profile. The 'primary contact' for your organisation will be sent an email asking to approve your request. If they are not available, please email us: [email protected]. If your organisation doesn't already have an account on Reach, click Continue with registration.

3. Organisation overview - share information about your organisation including:

• Organisation name
• Organisation type - for example if you are a registered charity you would state this here. We accept many different types of social purpose organisations. Find out more about our criteria for organisations.
• Date your organisation was established
• Your logo (this is optional)
• Number of paid staff
• Number of volunteers
• Your annual income  

4. Organisation location - let us know where people can find you:

• Your organisation’s address
• Finding your organisation online - website and social media links

You can opt into sharing your roles directly to your LinkedIn page when you post them on Reach. We recommend that you do, as this can be a great way to reach out to thousands of candidates. Learn more about streaming your role on LinkedIn.

5. Organisation activities - tell us about what your organisation does including:

• The area that your work covers
• Your cause
• Your organisation’s objectives - describe who you support, your services and the impact your work has
• Your organisation’s activities - explain what your organisation does to meet its objectives 

6. About You - give us your details including:

• Your job title
• Your email address - This email will be used to notify you when people apply for your role
• How you found Reach - please let us know how you came to find out about us

7. Review and Submit 

After you’ve filled out your organisation profile, review what you’ve added and make any changes before submitting. If you want to, you can click on the steps at the top of the page to go backwards through the form. All your changes will be saved. 

Once you click on Submit, you will get a message to confirm that your organisation profile has been submitted and is under review.
