Empowering Lives Guardianship Services LLC (ELGS) hires a diverse group of individuals to work within their agency.  This is what adds to the rich fabric of support for the individuals for whom we serve as guardian of the person.  Whenever possible ELGS prefers to hire full time guardian representatives who work out of either our Forsyth County Office or our Wake County Office.  When hiring a guardian representative ELGS looks for an individual who would meet the definition of Qualified Professional (QP) as found in 10A NCAC 27G .0104 STAFF DEFINITIONS for MH/IDD/SA Services.  We apply this standard to other areas of need and populations served beyond MH/IDD/SA Services.

 

Currently ELGS uses Indeed.com and ziprecruiter to post employment opportunities.  Please check there for current hiring needs. 

​

As of 10/4/22 ELGS Office is hiring guardian representatives in both the Wake County and Forsyth County Offices.
