About SkillsLink Kent
A local employment network built for Kent businesses and Kent people.
Our mission
To make it simple and fast for Kent businesses to find skilled local workers, and for local people to find flexible, fairly paid work close to home. We put skills first — not job titles, not algorithms, not national noise.
Why SkillsLink Kent was created
National job boards were never built for a county like ours. Employers were paying for adverts that reached the wrong people, while skilled local workers went unseen. We built a single, searchable local network where employers can find exactly who they need, in the towns they actually operate in.
Supporting businesses across Kent
From independent trades to hospitality, care, logistics and retail, we give employers verified access to a local talent pool with clear subscription pricing, unlimited job posts, short-notice shift requests and no commission or placement fees.
Supporting local workers
Workers register free, forever. You control your profile, your availability and your privacy — employers only see your first name and town until you approve a contact request. No fees, no commission, no cold calls.
