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 role 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 accommodate program, individual, and staff needs. The OPD is on call at all times unless someone of comparable authority has been arranged to receive emergency calls.

Occasional direct-service work may be needed and should normally not exceed 16 hours per week. 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.
