Who we are

United Response is a leading national charity providing support to young people and adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs.

Travel is a must,  as you will be job coaching individuals in and around the City of Bradford, alongside meeting employers across the city. Working as part of the wider Supported Employment Team, specialists are on hand to provide expert advice and support in best practice, inclusion, quality and health and safety, providing exceptional support and making a difference to people’s lives. You will be fully inducted working alongside experienced colleagues.

What's in it for you:

• 20 days paid annual leave (plus 8 bank holidays, pro rata for part time), which increases after 3 and 5 years’ service
• Pension Contribution
• The opportunity to be part of our UR Stars Recognition Scheme
• Access to free occupational health, physiotherapy, counselling and advice services

Keeping you safe

In these extraordinary times we know that the safety of our staff and the people we support is vital - this is why we are doing everything we can to ensure that everyone connected with United Response is confident that they are working and living in COVID secure conditions.

We provide full PPE and ensure that you are confident in using it plus we offer vaccines to all United Response employees.
