I know sperm can live inside the female for a week, so is it likely that a woman can get pregnant from unprotected sex the day after her period ended? Or is it more likely to get pregnant the following week?

It is possible, but very unlikely.
The 2nd week is the most possible.

You can get pregnant at ANY time.
Menstruation usually stops when a woman is pregnant. However, in some cases, a woman might have a period with less blood or that lasts fewer days than usual and still be pregnant. Your confusion is understandable because these signs can lead women to believe they are not pregnant. However, various kinds of bleeding can occur in early pregnancy. Women can get some spotting in their first trimester:
* when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus;
* if the pregnancy is abnormal in any way [i.e., ectopic pregnancy (implantation outside of the uterus, such as in a fallopian tube), a threatening miscarriage]; or,
* from bleeding as part of their menstrual cycle (this is extremely rare).

The short answer is, YES you can get pregnant the day after your regular period ended. The long answer has to do with the hormones and length of your cycle.

If your "plumbing" is functioning properly then ANY time you have unprotected sex you are risking getting pregnant...doesn't matter what day of the month it is (although some days/times the risk is higher than others).
Don't play russian roulette with your reproductive system. If you do not desire to become pregnant, use birth control.
