Mental Health Program Manager (MHPD) * Up… at Dungarvin · Prior Lake

A Little About Us

At Dungarvin, we are more than a national provider of support services—we are a mission-driven organization rooted in respect, inclusion, and person-centered care. Since 1976, we have been committed to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those with mental health, behavioral, and complex medical needs.

Dungarvin’s mission is simple yet powerful: respecting and responding to the choices of people in need of supports. This mission guides everything we do—from the way we build individualized service plans to how we engage with families, teams, and communities. We believe each person deserves to direct their own life, and we work to ensure their voices are heard and honored.

Operating across fifteen states, our team members—from direct support professionals to administrative staff—share a common purpose: to empower people with disabilities to live meaningful lives, on their own terms. Through Medicaid and Community Support Waivers, we deliver flexible, high-quality services tailored to each individual’s goals, values, and aspirations.

Join our Dungarvin family and help us make a lasting impact—one person, one voice, one choice at a time.

In this exciting role you are responsible for the coordination and supervising one to two residential programs that specialize in supporting individuals with challenging behavioral and mental health needs.  As a Mental Health Program Director your two key priorities include supervising and training of mental health specialists and ensuring all aspects of the program are developed, implemented, coordinated, and monitored to the highest degree possible. 

Hours Worked:

Full-time organizational position (may be part-time within any given home). The MHPD's schedule must be flexible to accommodate various program, individuals, and staff needs.

The MHPD is always on-call, unless prior arrangements have been made for someone of comparable authority to receive emergency calls.

MHPD’s are expected to ensure all direct service shifts in their programs are filled by staff who have met Dungarvin conditions of employment and have been adequately oriented and trained to perform their jobs. Occasionally, MHPD’s will find it necessary to work direct service shifts, but such work should normally not exceed 16 hours per week. If a MHPD finds it is necessary to work more than 16 hours of direct service in any work week, he/she must notify his/her supervisor in advance, in accordance with Dungarvin Policy A-02: WAGE AND SALARY DETERMINATION. If notification cannot be made in advance the MHPD is expected to notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible.

If schedule adjustment is necessary, arrangements should be made with the director.
