What You Get to Do:

As a Program Director at Dungarvin, you will be responsible for coordinating and managing the operations of the assigned residential programs, supervising traditional DD/IDD programs as well as behavioral programs in certified Adult Family Homes (AFH). The ideal candidate will have previous experience supervising staff and working with adults with disabilities and challenging behaviors, as well as with those requiring crisis management and behavioral interventions.

The Program Director will have an assigned caseload of either traditional or behavioral programs and will be equipped to support both types of settings for on-call purposes. In traditional settings, the Program Director is typically responsible for a caseload of approximately 2-4 adult residential program sites, with a larger number of residents and a smaller number of direct reports per program. In behavioral settings, the Program Director oversees 1-2 residential program sites, usually with 1-2 residents per home, supervising approximately 10-12 Direct Support Professionals per program.

Duties include but are not limited to:

• Oversee all aspects of assigned group homes
• Develop, maintain, and review ISPs, BSPs, or IPPs
• Partner with families, case managers, and other stakeholders regularly
• Manage household and individual budgets
• Provide thorough, complete, and timely on-site orientation to new staff
• Directly train employees in all areas of program implementation
• Provide ongoing coaching and development of all employees
• Complete employee evaluations, conduct investigations, and initiate disciplinary actions and terminations as needed
• Schedule and lead team meetings
• Develop and implement employee schedules

Work Environment and Office Hours:

This position is in-office, providing site supervision for direct care staff. It involves typical office hours, Monday through Friday, full-time. The Program Director must also have a flexible schedule with the ability to be on-call during the on-call rotation, including weekends and odd hours.

What Makes You A Great Fit:

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Human Services, Social Work, Psychology, Behavioral Science, or a related field
• A minimum of 2 years managerial/supervisory experience, including hiring, disciplining, and terminating employees
• At least 1 year of full-time, direct experience working with individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities
• Experience with mental health is preferred
• Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record
• Reliable vehicle with current auto liability insurance
• Good decision-making, time management, and communication skills; responsible, mature, and flexible
