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 work with supervisory responsibilities and manages programs in the Washington/Ramsey County, Minnesota area. The OPD ensures that direct-service shifts are staffed by employees who meet Dungarvin’s employment conditions and have received appropriate orientation and training. The OPD may occasionally cover direct-service shifts, normally for no more than 16 hours in a work week; if more 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. This is a full-time organizational position, though it 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 prior arrangements have been made for someone of comparable authority to receive emergency calls.
