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 autism. The role 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 with comparable authority has been arranged to receive emergency calls. OPDs ensure direct service shifts are staffed by employees who meet employment conditions and are properly oriented and trained.

The listed starting salary is $65,000 to $66,787.50 annually, based on experience and qualifications. The posting also offers a retention bonus of $5,000 and advertises a sign-on bonus of up to $5,000. Current Dungarvin employees are not eligible for the sign-on bonus.
