Haven Home Care•New Franklin, OH

6h•$16 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to provide non-medical assistance to older adults in their homes across 14 cities in Summit County, Ohio. Caregivers help clients with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light cleaning, errands, mobility, and companionship so they can remain independent. Caregivers do not administer medication or perform medical tasks. The work is physical, involves being on your feet much of the day, and requires driving between clients. Most caregivers support 2–4 regular clients, building ongoing relationships; shifts vary from about 2–3 hours to 8 hours depending on client needs. Caregivers can take additional fill-in shifts to increase their hours. A minimum of 20 hours per week is required. Caregivers set their travel limits, availability, and client preferences during a phone interview. Haven assigns clients based on those stated limits, so narrower preferences may reduce the number of available assignments. The first two weeks generally include fill-in shifts to assess reliability, unless a regular client match is immediately available. Reliable attendance and communication are important, as clients depend on their caregivers. Starting pay is $18 per hour for active or expired STNA license holders; $16–$18 per hour for people with a qualifying HHA certificate or qualifying experience under a licensed nurse; and $16 per hour for new caregivers who complete the free training pathway. Caregivers referred by a private-pay client can earn $19 per hour as an HHA or $20 per hour as an STNA when caring for that client. Holiday work pays 10% extra. Pay is issued every two weeks by direct deposit, and drive time between clients is paid; travel to the first client and home from the last client is unpaid. Performance-based raises are available at 90 days, one year, and two years, totaling up to $2 per hour. Additional bonuses are available for perfect attendance and referrals. Applicants qualify through one of four pathways: an STNA license; a qualifying HHA certificate; at least one year of qualifying experience under an RN or LPN with employer verification; or free 32-hour online HHA training for applicants without experience. Depending on the pathway, onboarding includes a phone conversation, questionnaire, competency testing where applicable, online paperwork and orientation, document verification, and fingerprinting. HHA competency testing includes written and demonstrated skills components and requires at least 80% on each. The position requires a driver's license, a personal insured vehicle suitable for work driving, passing background checks, legal authorization to work in the United States, and being at least 18 years old. Availability must include a period between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.; most work is between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The employer states that the position has no PTO, health insurance, or 401(k).
