Operational Program Director / 245D Designated Manager Up to $5000 sign on bonus

Dungarvin•St Louis, MN

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 role combines direct care and supervisory responsibilities. The OPD ensures that direct service shifts are staffed by employees who meet Dungarvin’s employment conditions and have received adequate orientation and training. Direct service work may occasionally be necessary and should normally not exceed 16 hours per week; working more than that requires notifying a supervisor in advance, or as soon as possible if advance notice is not possible. This is a full-time organizational position, though hours within any 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 prior arrangements are made for someone with comparable authority to receive emergency calls. The position requires leadership, coordination, and a mixture of direct service and supervisory work.
