Job Coach (Catering)

We're looking for a passionate Employability Tutor (Catering) to help drive our café enterprise in Torquay, supporting individuals with additional needs to gain valuable skills and confidence in a real working environment. This hands-on role includes assisting with the day-to-day running of the café, while tutoring and mentoring people in hospitality and catering tasks - from cooking and baking to customer service and cleaning. Ideally, you'll bring at least a year's experience in catering and a genuine understanding of the challenges people may face entering the workplace. Your ability to teach, coach and inspire will help transform opportunities for people and enable them to access meaningful employment in catering and hospitality environments in the future.
This post is based in Torquay and involves delivering a mix of education and work-related activity both one-to-one and in groups.
The successful candidate will engage with young people through community delivery to motivate and encourage participation and meet project outcomes. You will support the sustainable integration into the labour market of young people aged 16 to 24, particularly those with Education Health Care Plans (EHCP), complex needs, those at risk of social exclusion and young people from marginalised communities.
United Response is a charity that was founded to respond to a need. People with learning disabilities and autistic people were being forced into long-stay institutions and denied the right to build their own lives and homes, connected to friends, family and all that life has to offer. So we created places people could be supported to live the lives they wanted to, building networks of support within a community.
Over the last 50 years we've grown from these grassroots. We embraced a creative, flexible spirit that enabled us to develop innovative support for people across the country.
United Responses' culture of inclusion, and our focus on health and wellbeing and working models helps ensure that everyone - regardless of background - feels included and can be the best they can be.
United Response is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to the Mindful Employer values and are a Disability Confident Leader, providing support to applicants with mental and or physical disabilities including guaranteeing an interview for disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria.
