Opportunity Partners Holds Career Open House Amid Staffing Shortage
Opportunity Partners, a Twin Cities disability services nonprofit, is hosting two career open houses to recruit new staff members.
MINNETONKA – Opportunity Partners, a Twin Cities disability services nonprofit, is hosting two career open houses to recruit new staff members in order to combat the staffing shortage that has prevented them from fully reopening their services.
Like many disability service organizations, Opportunity Partners has been unable to provide their full breadth of services due to the current staffing shortage, with a current waitlist for services of over 400 people. Unfortunately, the Minnesota Legislature did not take action in the 2022 session to provide relief to disability service organizations, so the situation has become even more urgent. Providers like OP are doing all they can to recruit and retain staff members in order to best serve people with disabilities.
Opportunity Partners will host two career open houses where candidates can experience the company culture and explore various openings across multiple departments. Openings include Residential, Day and Employment services, a $2,000 sign-on bonus will be offered for full-time employees and a $750 sign-on bonus will be offered for part-time employees.
