Careers

Work that means something.

At COI, you'll help adults with IDD build real independence — work that matters to the people we serve and to the families who trust us.

Why COI

A workplace that takes care of its staff

We know the work we do is hard, important, and human. The people who do it deserve a workplace that respects that — with competitive pay, real benefits, ongoing training, and a leadership team that listens.

Most of our staff have been with us for years. Some for decades. We think that says something.

Our Values

How we work, together

Dignity first

Every interaction with a participant starts from respect. We meet people where they are, on their terms.

Real partnership with families

Families know their loved one best. We listen, we communicate honestly, and we follow through.

Continuous growth

We invest in training — for our staff and for our participants. Nobody stops learning here.

Caldwell County roots

We're local. We live here. The families we serve are our neighbors.

Honest about what works

When a program approach isn't serving a participant well, we say so — and we change it.

Team over hierarchy

Direct support staff know things the leadership team doesn't. We act like it.
