Wilkins expects to work closely with Scolari in preparing for matches and helping with some media work.
He added: "I was on the pitch a lot more as a coach when I was with Luca. I will probably be helping Felipe more with background work, preparing team talks, DVDs, set-pieces, how the opposition play."
Chelsea currently lead the Premier League and Wilkins, who has had managerial jobs at QPR and Fulham and worked in the England Under-21 set-up, has been impressed with their start to the season.
"They are playing with a freedom but have still been so solid at the back defensively that has been so impressive.
"Plus there is the artistry of Deco who has been Zola-esque with some of his passing and creativity. That has been a highlight for me.
"Frank (Lampard) has been scoring goals again and it is just as important to re-sign players you've got in your club as bring in new players.
"Several top players have signed a contract with the club, which is so important."
