Dungarvin•Eden Prairie, MN

3d•$65,000 - $66,788

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. This is a full-time organizational position, though hours within any given home may be part-time. The schedule must be flexible to meet program, individual, and staff needs. The OPD is on call at all times unless arrangements are made for someone with comparable authority to receive emergency calls. The OPD ensures program shifts are staffed by employees who meet company employment conditions and have appropriate orientation and training. The OPD may occasionally cover direct-service shifts, normally no more than 16 hours per work week; working more requires advance notice to a supervisor, or notice as soon as possible if advance notice is not feasible. Schedule adjustments should be arranged with the director when necessary.
