Why Silver Skills exists

A place for experience to keep working

Finding paid work later in life is not always easy, and living on a pension can be tough. Silver Skills gives experienced people a way to put years of practical knowledge to good use by helping others with small jobs in their area.

Silver Skills is open to adults of all ages with suitable skills, but it has a special purpose: creating opportunities for retired and semi-retired people who still have plenty to offer.

Built for ordinary small jobs

Silver Skills is not an open portal for major works, contract jobs, renovations or high-risk regulated work.

Right fit
Shelves, gates, flat-pack, garden tidy-ups, small repairs.
Connection only
We open the connection; you agree the actual job privately.
Approval first
Skilled Member profiles go live only after Silver Skills review.
