Recruiting through Causework
Posting a role will be free. Here is how it will work, from creating an account to placing a volunteer.
Launch status: the role search is live now. Accounts, posting, applications and messaging open with the next release, planned before Reach stops accepting new roles on 29 September 2026.
How posting works
- Create an account with your organisation email, then create your organisation or ask to join one that already exists.
- Complete the organisation profile: type, regulator number, location, size, income band, objectives and causes. It is checked against the criteria, with a two-working-day target.
- Post a role in four steps: about the role, about the person, when and where, and how to apply. Save a draft at any point, or duplicate a previous role.
- The role is checked against the criteria, again with a two-working-day target. If something needs changing you are told what and why.
- The role goes live in search, in the sitemap and in the partner feed, until its closing date or until you pause or close it.
- Applicants and questions will arrive in your dashboard. You message them here, then mark each one placed or declined so the record is complete.
What it costs
- Nothing. Volunteer and trustee roles are free to post for every organisation while the service establishes itself.
- If a charge is ever introduced it will follow the Reach model: never for volunteer roles, and never for smaller organisations.
Moving from Reach Volunteering
- Roles that are live on Reach will be re-postable here as soon as accounts open, before Reach stops accepting new roles. The role types, skills and causes use the same names, so the text copies straight across.
- Reach stops accepting new roles on 29 September 2026, pauses all live roles on 27 October, closes messaging on 10 November and goes read-only on 24 November.
- The search vocabulary here is Reach's, reproduced so volunteers who searched there find the same filters here.
