Caregiver - School-Hour Shifts

Haven Home Care • Mogadore, OH

2d • $16 - $20 • Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to provide in-home, nonmedical support, primarily to older adults in Summit County, Ohio. Most care takes place between 8 AM and 5 PM, with many shifts lasting 2–6 hours. There are no overnight shifts. Applicants specify their available days and times during a phone interview, and Haven matches clients to that availability and to the caregiver’s stated travel and client preferences. More restrictive availability or preferences can mean a smaller matching pool and a longer wait for a schedule to fill. Permanent clients may be assigned immediately when there is a match; otherwise, fill-in shifts are used during the first two weeks to gauge reliability. Most caregivers have 2–4 regular clients and may pick up additional fill-in shifts.

Care includes assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, light cleaning, errands, companionship, and helping clients move around. Caregivers do not administer medicine or perform medical tasks. The work is physical and involves being on one’s feet for much of the day. Free training is available for applicants who need to qualify without prior experience. A 32-hour online training program is available and must be completed in six days; this training is unpaid.

Pay depends on qualifications: $18/hour for an active or expired STNA; $16–$18/hour for an HHA certificate or qualifying experience; and $16/hour after the free training pathway. HHA and STNA pay rates are higher for a private-pay client referred by the caregiver. Holiday work pays 10% extra. Pay is issued every two weeks by direct deposit, and drive time between clients is paid, but travel to the first client and home from the last client is unpaid. The posting also describes attendance, caregiver-referral, and private-pay-client referral bonuses, as well as performance-based raises during the first two years.

The position is a W-2 job serving communities in Summit County, Ohio. Applicants must be able to work at least 20 hours per week and be available within the 6 AM–8 PM range, while setting their own availability window within those hours. Haven states that it does not offer PTO, a 401(k), or health insurance.
