About The Position
The Operational Program Director (OPD) leads and coordinates programs serving people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, mental health diagnoses, medical needs, and/or people on the autism spectrum in the Washington/Ramsey County, Minnesota area. The position combines direct care and supervisory responsibilities and requires flexibility to accommodate program, individual, and staff needs. The OPD is on call at all times unless prior arrangements have been made for someone of comparable authority to receive emergency calls. The OPD ensures that direct-service shifts are staffed by employees who meet Dungarvin’s conditions of employment and have received adequate orientation and training. The OPD may occasionally work direct-service shifts, normally not exceeding 16 hours per week. If more than 16 hours of direct service are needed in a work week, the OPD must notify their supervisor in advance when possible, or as soon as possible otherwise. Any necessary schedule adjustment should be arranged with the director.
