    Imagine being able to get answers to your health plan questions from someone who speaks the same language as you do. Or, the opposite, not being able to get the answers. At UNITEDHEALTH GROUP, we want our customers to get those answers by speaking to one of our Bilingual Representatives. If you're fluent in English and Spanish, we can show you how to put all of your skills, your passions and your energy to work in a fast growing environment.

As their advocate, you'll use your personality and our tools to help them through the health care benefits available to them, including helping them enroll in a new plan. This is no small opportunity. Join us and discover how you can take your career to a new level. This position is full-time (40 hours/week). Employees are required to have flexibility to work any of our 8 hour shift schedules during our normal business hours of (6:55am to 10:00pm, Monday-Friday and 8:00am-5:30pm, Saturday).

Our office is located at 6200 Northwest Pkwy, San Antonio, TX 78249.

    There are several steps in our hiring process. Please make sure that you have filled out all required sections of your employment application. Once you submit your completed application, you will receive an e-mail with information regarding next steps including any pre-employment assessment(s) that are required. Both your application and any required assessment(s) need to be completed before we can consider you for employment so the sooner you complete these two steps, the sooner you will hear from us.
