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.

If more direct-service hours are necessary, the OPD must notify their supervisor in advance when possible, or as soon as possible otherwise. Schedule adjustments, if needed, should be arranged with the director.
