Coos Bay, OR Full Time
POSTED ON 8/21/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/20/2026

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."
