Launched by Leeds City Council and supported by Aire Valley Homes Leeds, Slivers-of-Time aims to help you ‘sell your spare hours’ around your commitments such as childcare or studying. It lets you decide hour-by-hour, day-by-day when you are available. It lets you define they types of bookings you’ll do, in what area and how your rate is to be calculated. Employers can see your track record of reliability before they decide whose hours to buy.

A new form of employment
You have 4 hours spare this evening? Do you want to work for a vetted employer? Marketplaces for Slivers-of-Time Working allow anyone to sell their spare hours to local employers.
Who needs these marketplaces?
-
Sellers are work-seekers who need to find employment around other commitments. (eg childcare, existing partial employment, caring, attending job interviews, starting a business, medical issues.)
-
Buyers are organisations wanting top-up workers at irregular times. (eg: Local Authorities, caterers, retailers, contact centres, service providers, promotions companies, care providers, the NHS.)
Quality people who want to work
Slivers-of-Time sellers are busy around the UK. They work for councils, catering companies, cinemas, high-street retailers, distributors and the NHS. Each seller works when they want and is rewarded for continued reliability.
People who couldn't work any other way are getting wide ranging experience. Some have recieved paid training from multiple employers. Those businesses then have pools of inducted top-up workers on tap for peak periods.
