United Response is committed to making life better for people with disabilities. We are a charity that supports people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs, at home and in the community.
To enable us to allow the people we support to live their best life, we are piloting the brand new role of Learning and Induction Mentor. If our pilot is a success there is very real potential for this role to go permanent. This role will see the successful applicant support, guide and nurture new and existing staff throughout their United Response journey, making sure they are fully supported to reach their full potential. This will include everything from showing new people how we work and our values to guiding them with all of the systems we use and ensuring they have all the knowledge and skills they need to be amazing Support Workers!
What are we looking for and why?
The roles our staff undertake can be quite demanding. Our support staff are at the heart of the company and we want to ensure that our staff are supported as much as they can be, therefore we are introducing this brand new role to help us ensure we can do just that!
To be considered for this role, you will already have operational Social Care experience.This is a new role for the company, so it’s a real chance for you to make this role your own and the ability to ‘bring this role to life’. This, along with your experience in developing people, will mean you will make a real difference when you mentor our staff by really catering for a broad range of abilities and needs.
Our New Starters will often have little or no experience of working within care; therefore we are looking for someone with the ability to grow confidence, who can inspire and motivate with their passion for the care sector.
You will be mentoring on a one to one basis and in group settings, so you must be a great communicator, well organised and a self-motivator and be great at building relationships with a variety of stakeholders.
Finally, you should be comfortable giving open and honest feedback and be able to identify any additional training and/or development needs and taking the necessary steps to ensure these are met.
What we need from you:

• A solid working knowledge of Health and Social care
• The ability to manage your own workload and time
• Excellent IT and presentation skills
• The ability to motivate others
• Willing to undertake required training, sometimes off site and outside normal working hours/locations.
• Willing and able to travel between locations (Full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle required).

What’s in it for you?
In return for your passion, commitment and flexibility we offer an excellent benefits package that includes:

• 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
• Fully paid training and access to nationally recognised qualifications
• Travel to work scheme (season ticket loan)
• Access to an online shopping platform with discounts from over 3,500 retailers
