How it works
local jobs for local people
Welcome to Pockit Job
My name is Alistair, I am a dad of two kids. I set up Pockit Job as i know lots of people, like my kids, want to find local jobs so they can earn some extra money for themselves.
When I was younger I use to go down to the local post office and scan the jobs scrawled on pieces of paper in the window so I could earn some money to buy the things I wanted. I used to do lots of jobs, but I have especially fond memories gardening for an old lady called Mrs Milne. I don’t see many local jobs in the post office window anymore but I know there are lots of Mrs Milnes still out there and lots of local people wanting to earn some extra money. I built this site in dedication to my Mrs Milne and in the hope of others finding theirs.
Simple and easy to use with lots of amazing features
Create your profile
When you create your account, you get your own profile where you can add your picture and a little bit about yourself.
You can see all of your jobs you have worked or people who have worked for you here as well as being able to see all of your recommendations and reviews.
Choose the jobs you are interested in
When you are creating your profile you can chose the jobs you are interesting in, so when some one posts a job like that you will be emailed so you don't miss out.
You can also select how far away you want to see jobs for, up to a distance of 10km. So you don't have to travel too far if you don't want to.
Search for jobs on the job board
You can straight away see all the jobs in your local area and start applying right away.
The jobs are split up with jobs that have been posted today and all other jobs still available in your local area. Make sure you select the type of jobs you want to see in your profile, as you will be emailed about all new jobs that match your interests.
Post your job to the local community
If you have chosen to post jobs when you joined, you can write you job description, select the date, time, payment amount, job location, age requirement and add pictures if needed. Once you post your job, it will appear on the local job board and people who are interested in that job type will be emailed.
The job payment selection also gives you ideas about how much other local people have charged for a similar job.
If your job is urgent you can use the 'urgent job' button to push your job to the top of the job board.
Total control of your jobs
You can see how many people have viewed your job, who has applied and check out their profile and recommendations.
You can edit your job details or delete your job if something changes, all until you have your first applicant.
You can even make your job urgent, if you need quick responses.
Search your community for a skill
If you are looking for a local person with a particular skill, you can easily find people with that skill on the community page.
Or if you have a local skill or business, you can advertise your skills on the community page for people to find you.
Message people inside the app
If you want to find out more information about a job or want to find out more about the person applying for your job, you can message them inside the app.

It makes for a transparent and fair community and so you know how good the service is you will get. Your reviews and stars awarded are then shown on your profile.
