Three simple steps, whichever side you’re on
The same platform serves both neighbours who need help and young people who want to earn — with safety built into every step.
Post a job or browse nearby
Customers describe a small task — the leaves, the bins, a dog walk. Young workers browse jobs near them, already filtered for their age.
Match with a trusted local
Workers apply with a short note. You see their rating, verified ID and completed jobs, then pick who feels right. Guardians are looped in for under-16s.
Get it done — and paid safely
Chat stays on the platform. When the job’s done, payment is released from the customer’s card to the worker’s wallet, with a receipt for both sides.
Nearby jobs, filtered for your age category
Pick your age band to see exactly what a worker that age would. It’s the same filter the platform applies automatically once you’re signed in.
Across Scotland
Showing jobs matched to your age category. Younger workers never see unsuitable tasks.
No jobs posted yet
TaskLink is brand new here. Post the first job and workers nearby will see it.
Post a jobWhat counts as a ‘light’ job, and what needs to be 16+
Every category carries an age tier. Younger workers simply never see the heavier ones.
Nothing with heavy lifting, dangerous tools, chemicals, or anything that could put a young worker at risk.

Built so a parent would be comfortable saying yes
Safeguarding isn’t a page in the footer — it’s the product. Here’s what’s working in the background on every job.
Age-appropriate by default
14–15 year-olds only ever see light jobs. Heavier tasks with tools, chemicals or lifting are 16+ and filtered out automatically.
Conversations stay on-platform
All messaging happens here. Sharing phone numbers or addresses is discouraged and auto-flagged so there’s always a record.
Money handled by Stripe
Customers pay by card. Funds are held until the job is marked complete, then released to the worker’s wallet. No cash, no chasing.
A community, not a gig app
Real ratings, real neighbours. Harassment, unsafe requests and off-platform pressure get accounts removed.
A warm hand-off between people who live near each other
Customers, young workers and parents on what it feels like to use TaskLink.
“Jamie has raked our leaves and sorted the garage twice now. He’s polite, careful, and it’s lovely knowing a neighbour’s kid is earning instead of a faceless app.”

Customer · Shawlands
“I’m 15 so I only see the lighter jobs, which my mum was happy about. I’ve done dog walks and tidying after school and saved up £120 for a bike.”
Jamie R.
Youth worker · Dennistoun
“The sign-off step and in-app messages made me comfortable letting my daughter try it. I can see her jobs and messages, and she manages her own earnings.”
Michael R.
Parent · Dennistoun
“Posted a moving-help job on a Friday, had three local 16–17 year olds apply by the evening. Boxes shifted on Saturday. Paid in a couple of taps.”
Raymond T.
Customer · Dennistoun
“As a college student the flexible pressure-washing and garden jobs fit around my timetable. Everything stays on the platform so there’s never any awkwardness about pay.”
Priya S.
Youth worker · Partick
“Reported a listing that asked for loft-ladder work. It was pulled within the hour and re-posted correctly as 16+. That response is why I trust it.”

The things people ask before their first job
From 14. Workers aged 14–15 can only see and accept ‘light’ jobs — tidying, organising, basic cleaning, leaf pickup, bin help, pet care and simple errands. From 16, all job categories are available, including moving help, deep cleaning, garden machinery and pressure washing, as long as each job is safe and legal.
Get the leaves cleared. Or clear them yourself and get paid.
