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 position does not involve giving medication or performing medical tasks. Caregivers typically work with 2–4 regular clients, with shifts ranging from 2–3 hours to 8 hours depending on client needs. Travel between clients is paid; travel to the first client and from the last client is not. Caregivers must work at least 20 hours per week and be available within 6 AM–8 PM, with most work occurring 8 AM–5 PM. The position requires dependable attendance and may include fill-in shifts, especially during the first two weeks. Employees can choose and later change their availability and travel preferences, though limits may reduce the number of available client assignments. Starting pay is based on qualifications: $18/hour for an active or expired STNA license; $16–$18/hour for an HHA certificate or qualifying experience under a licensed nurse; and $16/hour for new caregivers completing the free training pathway. Caregivers referring and serving a private-pay client can earn $19/hour with an HHA or $20/hour with 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, totaling up to $2/hour. Additional incentives include an attendance bonus and referral bonuses. Applicants must be at least 18, have a driver's license and their own car with insurance covering work driving, pass background checks, have legal authorization to work in the United States, and be able to work at least 20 hours weekly. Applicants qualify through an STNA license, an eligible HHA certificate, at least one year of qualifying experience under an RN or LPN (subject to employer verification), or free 32-hour online HHA training. Except for STNAs and applicants with qualifying prior test results, applicants must pass the required in-person HHA competency test with at least 80% on both written and skills portions. The employer verifies identity and work authorization during an online orientation. The posting states there is no PTO, 401(k), or health insurance.
