Program Coordinator – Adult Residential
About The Position
The Program Coordinator is a lead role — the experienced person on site when the manager isn't there. You provide in-ratio direct care alongside your team and carry the leadership layer. This is a small, home-like setting supporting adult males with intellectual/developmental disabilities and serious, challenging behaviors — genuinely demanding, high-behavior work that often calls for 2:1 support and skilled crisis response. You'll safeguard daily well-being and safety, ensure care plans and active treatment plans are followed, train and support staff, own medication management and documentation, and keep the home compliant and running.

- Leadership experience and/or training in disability or behavioral services.
- Minimum 50 hours of education and training related to human services and disabilities (education can be substituted with equivalent experience).
- Ability to pass a DHS background study and maintain qualified status.
- Current valid driver's license and insurance.
- Comfort with the physical demands of direct support — on your feet up to 8 hours, transfers, and implementing approved physical interventions when necessary.
- Willingness to participate in the on-call rotation.

- CPR/First Aid; crisis-intervention certification (CPI, Mandt, PCM, etc.).

Responsibilities
- Provide direct care based on each individual's Support Plan and Support Plan Addendum — ADLs, personal cares, medical needs, mental health supports, and program implementation.
- Be the go-to leader on shift; train new staff and help the team understand care plans, ADLs, and active treatment plans.
- Own medication management in Therap E-MAR — MAR reviews, med orders/inventory, and coordination with the RN.
