Find Your Career at GT Independence
GT Independence began because the Carmichael family wanted their own family with disabilities to live their best life. To make this happen, the family looked into alternatives to group homes and nursing homes. And they found self-direction—where people with disabilities or long-term needs can choose how and where to receive support and who delivers that support. Sometimes this can even be friends and family.
The Carmichael family decided to share their knowledge so that others could live the life of their choosing, too. GT is proud to be disability-owned, with over 10% of our employees also living and working with disabilities.
GT is officially a financial management services company, but we are much more. We’re advocates for self-direction and its vital role in building trusted communities of care and support.
From our small-town start in 2004, GT has become a company supporting over 25,000 people nationwide. Family-owned, GT has more than 500 employees and a presence in 18 states (and counting). Since 2018, GT has grown at an average annual rate of 21%, and the opportunities for career development have grown with us.
We are proud to be ranked among the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For. We invite you to explore what it means to be part of the GT family—for you and for the people we serve.
At GT, we are always seeking people who are passionate about what they do. Our steady growth has created opportunities for people with a broad range of experience and expertise.
