    Job description

    GT Independence is a family-founded, leading national Financial Management Services (FMS) provider that supports individuals participating in self-direction programs, helping them manage their long-term care and support services at home and in community-based settings. Dedicated to promoting personal choice, independence, and quality of life, GT Independence delivers reliable, person-centered financial and administrative services that empower individuals to direct their own care. With a growing national presence, the organization continues to expand its impact through innovation, service excellence, and a strong commitment to the people and communities it serves.
    We are looking for compassionate and reliable Direct Support Workers/Caregivers to support individuals who self-direct their services. In this role, you will work directly with the person receiving services in their home and community, helping them live as independently as possible.

    This is a unique opportunity to provide one-on-one support while respecting each individual’s choices, preferences, and goals.

    What You’ll Do:
    Daily Living Support
    • Assist with personal care needs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting
    • Support mobility, transfers, and safe movement
    • Help with meals, eating, and maintaining safety
    Household & Routine Support
    • Assist with light housekeeping and maintaining a safe home environment
    • Support daily routines and independent living skills
    Community Engagement
    • Help individuals access and participate in their community
    • Support social, recreational, and personal activities
    Health & Service Plan Support
    • Follow the individual’s Service Plan and approved tasks
    • Assist with health-related needs as directed and authorized
    Person-Centered Support
    • Respect and support each individual’s choices and independence
    • Work under the direction of the individual receiving services
    Documentation & Accountability
    • Record services provided accurately and timely
    • Complete required trainings and follow program guidelines
    What Makes This Role Different
    • The individual you support directs their own care
    • You are working in a person-centered, self-directed model
    • Schedules and tasks are often tailored to the individual—not a facility or agency
    Qualifications
    • Must be at least 18 years old
    • Ability to communicate clearly and professionally
    • Reliable, patient, and respectful of others
    • Ability to follow direction and care plans
    Preferred:
    • Experience in caregiving, home health, or direct support
    • Valid driver’s license and auto insurance (if providing transportation)
    Requirements
    • Pass a background check
    • Complete required training
    • Follow all state and program guidelines
    Why Join Us
    • Flexible scheduling based on your availability
    • Meaningful, one-on-one work
    • Opportunity to make a direct impact on someone’s independence and quality of life
    • Supportive team and ongoing training opportunities

    As an organization focused on helping both the people we serve and our employees succeed, we foster a culture where individuals can grow, thrive, and make a meaningful difference every day. Join us in our mission: "To help people live a life of their choosing regardless of age or ability."
