  • Baraboo, WI
  • REF3581H
  • Full-time
  • Mid-Senior Level
  • The Program Director's caseload will involve programs located in the Baraboo & Lyndon Station areas.

    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 is typically responsible for overseeing 1-2 residential program sites, usually with 1-2 residents per home, and will supervise a staff of 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 on a regular basis
    • 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-person, providing site supervision for direct care staff. This role involves typical office hours, Monday through Friday, full-time. Additionally, the Program Director must have a flexible schedule with the ability to be on-call during the on-call rotation (this includes weekends and odd hours).

    What Makes You A Great Fit:

    • Bachelor's degree, preferably in Human Services, Social Work, Psychology, Behavioral Science or related field is preferred
    • 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 disabilities or intellectual disabilities
    • Experience with mental health preferred
