About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to help older adults remain independent in their homes across 14 cities in Summit County, Ohio. Caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light cleaning, errands, mobility, and companionship. The role does not involve administering medication or performing medical tasks. Caregivers typically work with 2–4 regular clients and may also pick up fill-in shifts. Visits range from approximately 2–3 hours to 8 hours, depending on client needs; employees must work at least 20 hours per week. Caregivers travel between clients, and drive time between clients is paid, but travel to the first client and home from the last client is unpaid. Starting pay depends on qualifications: $18 per hour for an active or expired STNA license; $16–$18 per hour for an HHA certificate or qualifying experience under a licensed nurse; and $16 per hour for the free training pathway. Caregivers who provide care for a private-pay client they referred earn $19 per hour as an HHA or $20 per hour as an STNA. Holiday work pays an additional 10%. Employees are paid every two weeks by direct deposit as W-2 employees. Performance-based raises are available at 90 days, one year, and two years, for a potential total increase of $2 per hour. Additional bonuses are available for perfect attendance and successful caregiver or client referrals. Employees set their availability and preferences—including travel distance, days and times, pets, and smoking—during the phone interview. Haven Home Care assigns clients according to those stated limits. The role requires dependable attendance and communication, and the work is described as physical, involving helping clients move and being on one's feet much of the day. The employer offers four entry pathways: an STNA license, an HHA certificate, qualifying experience supervised by an RN or LPN, or free online HHA training for applicants without experience. The role requires a driver's license, a personal insured car suitable for work driving, background checks, legal authorization to work in the United States, and being at least 18 years old. There is no PTO, health insurance, or 401(k).
