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 daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light cleaning, errands, mobility, and companionship. They do not administer medication or perform medical tasks. The work is physically demanding and involves travel between clients; caregivers are on their feet for much of the day. Most caregivers support 2–4 regular clients each week, building ongoing relationships, and may pick up additional fill-in shifts. Visits range from approximately 2–3 hours to 8 hours depending on client needs. Drive time between clients is paid; travel to the first client and home from the last client is unpaid.

Caregivers set travel, client, and availability limits during the phone interview, and assignments are matched to those limits. The role requires dependable attendance and at least 20 hours of work per week, with availability between 6 AM and 8 PM; most work occurs between 8 AM and 5 PM. Caregivers may qualify through an active or expired 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 pathway. Required onboarding may include a phone interview, questionnaire, competency test where applicable, online paperwork and orientation, document verification, and fingerprinting. Compensation depends on qualifications, with performance-based raises and referral bonuses. This is a W-2 position.
