Haven Home Care•Tallmadge, OH

6h•$16 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to provide non-medical support to older adults in their homes across 14 cities in Summit County, Ohio. Caregivers assist with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light cleaning, errands, mobility, and companionship. Caregivers do not administer medication or perform medical tasks; those duties are handled by nurses. The work is physical and involves being on your feet for much of the day and helping clients move around. Caregivers generally support 2–4 regular clients, often building ongoing relationships with the same people each week. Shifts range from about 2–3 hours to 4–6 hours or 8 hours, depending on client needs. Employees must work at least 20 hours per week and be available between 6 AM and 8 PM; most work is between 8 AM and 5 PM. Availability, travel range, and client preferences are discussed during the phone interview, and assignments are matched to the limits provided. The role requires reliable attendance and travel between clients. Drive time between clients is paid, but travel to the first client and home from the last client is not. Pay depends on credentials and experience: $18/hour for an active or expired STNA license, $16–$18/hour for an HHA certificate or qualifying experience, and $16/hour for the free training pathway. Caregivers who refer and care for a private-pay client may earn $19/hour as an HHA or $20/hour as an STNA. Holiday work pays an additional 10%. Pay is issued every two weeks by direct deposit, and the position is W-2 employment. Performance-based raises are available at 90 days, one year, and two years. Additional bonuses are offered for perfect attendance and successful caregiver or private-pay client referrals. Candidates may qualify through an STNA license, an 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. The HHA competency test is conducted in person at the Cuyahoga Falls office, except that STNAs skip the test and qualifying prior test results may be accepted. Applicants must have a driver's license, their own insured car suitable for work driving, pass background checks, have legal authorization to work in the U.S., and be at least 18 years old. No PTO, 401(k), or health insurance is offered.
