Caregiver - Help People at Home - Summit County

Haven Home Care • Munroe Falls, OH

6h • $16 - $20 • Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to provide non-medical in-home assistance to older adults across 14 cities in Summit County, Ohio. Caregivers help clients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light cleaning, errands, mobility, and companionship. Caregivers do not administer medication or perform medical tasks. The work is physical and involves being on your feet much of the day and traveling between clients. Most caregivers work with two to four regular clients, building ongoing relationships, and may pick up additional fill-in shifts.

Caregivers choose their travel limits, client preferences, available days, and hours during the phone interview. Shifts range from two to three hours to eight hours, depending on client needs. Employees must be able to work at least 20 hours per week and be available between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.; most work is between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Drive time between clients is paid, while travel to the first client and home from the last client is unpaid. The position is paid every two weeks by direct deposit as a W-2 employee. Starting pay is $16 per hour for the free-training pathway, $16–$18 per hour for qualified HHA applicants or applicants with qualifying experience, and $18 per hour for STNAs. Additional pay, holiday premiums, performance-based raises, and referral bonuses are available under the conditions described in the posting.

Applicants may qualify through an STNA license (active or expired), an eligible HHA certificate, at least one year of qualifying experience under an RN or LPN, or Haven Home Care's free 32-hour online HHA training pathway. The hiring process varies by pathway and may include a phone conversation, online questionnaire, competency test, paperwork, orientation, document verification, and fingerprinting. Ohio-required competency testing includes written and demonstrated skills components, with at least 80% required on each, unless the applicant qualifies to skip the test.

The employer emphasizes dependable attendance, communication, client care, and commitment to clients. Caregivers are expected to follow their agreed availability, call-off procedures, policies, and incident-reporting requirements. The employer states that time off is unpaid and requires one month's notice. No PTO, 401(k), or health insurance is offered.
