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. 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 Dungarvin’s employment conditions and are appropriately oriented and trained. The role may occasionally require covering direct-service shifts, normally no more than 16 hours per work week; if more time is needed, the OPD must notify their supervisor in advance when possible and coordinate any schedule adjustments with the director. 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.
