Operational Program Director / 245D Designated Manager Up to $5000 sign on bonus
About The Position
The Operational Program Director (OPD) leads and coordinates programs serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental health diagnoses, medical needs, and/or people on the Autism Spectrum in the Washington/Ramsey County, Minnesota area. The role combines direct care and supervisory duties. The OPD is responsible for ensuring that all direct-service shifts are staffed by employees who meet Dungarvin’s employment conditions and are adequately oriented and trained. The OPD may occasionally cover direct-service shifts, normally for no more than 16 hours per work week; working beyond that limit requires notifying a supervisor in accordance with company policy. This is a full-time organizational position, though work within an individual home may be part-time. The schedule must be flexible to accommodate program, individual, and staff needs. The OPD is on call at all times unless someone of comparable authority has been arranged to receive emergency calls.
