Group Home for individuals with disabilities (not mental health care, transition, or recovery. This is Community Residential.)

Are you a site supervisor looking for the next opportunity? Or an experienced DSP that is looking for that next step of growth?

Opportunity Matters is seeking a Site Supervisor for a house in Sartell, MN. At this home lives a very high energy, fun to work with individual that likes to play basketball, walk to the park, play video games, and go places. This site needs someone that can match that energy, be with the individual at all times, be able to step in during interfering behaviors and help support appropriate social interactions.

The person we serve requires active Supervision at all time, and especially during encounters with people in the community and/or visitors to the home. The ideal candidate for this role is someone that can recognize antecedents, recognize when the person needs down time and space, and support the individual through behavior cycles. The Site Supervisor will train and oversee staff so that the staff understands how best to work with the individual with consistency in following the programs and service plan.

Our Site Supervisors are assigned to one home site, but it is important that they understand how the Organization works and they will help out at other sites as needed.

The schedule is mainly 8a-4p M-F. May be required to help cover other times and may work occasional weekend shifts if needed.

Positively impact the lives of individuals with disabilities.

The Program Coordinator oversees one program under the direction of the Program Director. The Program Coordinator ensures compliance with all aspects of the program related to the persons served, the Organization, the employees, and property. The Program Coordinator is responsible for providing effective leadership and accountability to foster growth and development in the team of Direct Support staff. The Program Coordinator provides comprehensive personal care, guidance, and appropriate support tailored to the needs of each person.

At Opportunity Matters, we encourage the persons served to be as independent as possible, by teaching independent living skills. Depending on the needs of the person, the work may include performing the tasks completely for others, or it may be assisting in the completion of the tasks. Program Coordinators have a strong desire to create positive impacts on the lives of persons served and enjoy encouraging, mentoring, and coaching others to achieve their goals.
