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 living, including bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, mobility, and companionship. The role does not involve administering medicine or performing medical tasks. Caregivers typically support 2–4 regular clients each week, building ongoing relationships, and may pick up additional fill-in shifts. The work is physical and involves being on your feet much of the day and traveling between clients. Shifts range from approximately 2–3 hours to 8 hours, depending on client needs. Employees must be able to work at least 20 hours per week and be available between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.; most work is scheduled between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the phone interview, caregivers specify their travel range, preferred days and times, and preferences such as pets or smoking, and clients are matched accordingly. The first two weeks generally include fill-in shifts to assess reliability, unless a regular-client match is available immediately. Pay is $18 per hour for caregivers with an active or expired STNA license, $16–$18 per hour for those with an HHA certificate or qualifying experience, and $16 per hour for new caregivers completing the free training pathway. Higher rates apply when caring for a private-pay client the caregiver referred. Pay is issued every two weeks by direct deposit, and travel time between clients is paid; travel to the first client and home from the last client is unpaid. Holiday work pays an additional 10%. Performance-based raises are available at 90 days, one year, and two years, and referral and attendance bonuses are offered. Applicants can 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. HHA applicants generally complete a competency test unless they qualify to skip it. The hiring process includes an interview, online questionnaire, paperwork, orientation and document verification, and fingerprinting, with steps varying by qualification pathway. 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., be at least 18, and be able to meet the minimum weekly hours and availability requirements. This is a W-2 position. The posting states that the role does not include PTO, a 401(k), or health insurance. Haven Home Care is an equal opportunity employer and participates in E-Verify.
