Dungarvin•Brooklyn Park, 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. The position combines direct care and supervisory responsibilities and manages programs in the Washington/Ramsey County, Minnesota area. This is a full-time organizational position, though the role may be part-time within any individual home. The schedule must be flexible to accommodate program, individual, and staff needs. The OPD is on call at all times unless someone of comparable authority has been arranged to receive emergency calls. OPDs ensure that direct-service shifts are filled by staff who meet Dungarvin’s employment conditions and are adequately oriented and trained. They may occasionally work direct-service shifts, normally no more than 16 hours per week; working more requires notifying a supervisor and may require schedule adjustments. Dungarvin is a mission-driven provider of person-centered support services, founded in 1976 and operating across fifteen states. Its services support people with disabilities through Medicaid and Community Support Waivers, with an emphasis on respecting individual choices and helping people live meaningful lives on their own terms.
