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:

What Makes This Role Different
