Caregiver - Help People at Home - Summit County

Haven Home Care • Copley Township, OH

6h • $16 - $20 • Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to provide non-medical in-home support 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, involves driving between clients, and requires dependable attendance. Most caregivers work with 2–4 regular clients each week and may also pick up fill-in shifts. Individual visits may last 2–3, 4–6, or 8 hours; caregivers must be available for at least 20 hours per week and during a schedule they agree to. The stated availability window is 6 AM–8 PM, with most work occurring 8 AM–5 PM.

Starting pay depends 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 candidates completing the free training pathway. Caregivers who refer a private-pay client may earn $19/hour as an HHA or $20/hour as an STNA while caring for that client. Drive time between clients is paid, but travel to the first client and from the last client is not. Holiday work pays an additional 10%. Pay is issued every two weeks by direct deposit, and the position is W-2 employment. Performance-based reviews can result in raises at 90 days, one year, and two years, totaling up to $2/hour. Additional incentives include a $100 perfect-attendance bonus after 30 days and referral bonuses.

Candidates may qualify through one of four routes: an STNA license; an HHA certificate meeting the stated criteria; at least one year of qualifying work under an RN or LPN with direct employer verification; or completion of Haven Home Care’s free 32-hour online HHA training and competency test. The hiring process varies by route and can include an application, phone interview, online questionnaire, HHA competency test where applicable, online paperwork and orientation, document verification, and fingerprinting. The role requires a driver's license, a personal car with insurance covering work driving, background-check clearance, legal authorization to work in the United States, and being at least 18 years old.

The employer states that there is no PTO, 401(k), or health insurance. Time off is unpaid and requires one month’s notice. Haven Home Care is an Equal Opportunity Employer and E-Verify participant.
