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 autism. The position combines direct care with supervisory responsibilities and manages programs in the Washington/Ramsey County, Minnesota area. The OPD ensures direct-service shifts are staffed by employees who meet employment conditions and are adequately oriented and trained. The OPD may occasionally work direct-service shifts, normally no more than 16 hours per week; working beyond that requires notifying the supervisor and may require schedule adjustments. The OPD must be on call at all times unless prior arrangements are made for someone with comparable authority to receive emergency calls. The schedule must be flexible to accommodate program, individual, and staff needs. The role is described as a full-time organizational position, though it may be part-time within any given home.
