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 role combines direct care with supervisory responsibilities and covers programs in the Washington/Ramsey County, Minnesota area.

Schedule adjustments, when necessary, should be arranged with the director. Dungarvin is a mission-driven provider of person-centered support services.
