Caregiver - Help People at Home - Summit County

Haven Home Care • Stow, OH

6h • $16 - $20 • Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers to support older adults in their homes across 14 cities in Summit County, Ohio. Caregivers assist clients with daily living, including bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, mobility, and companionship. The role does not involve administering medication or performing medical tasks. Caregivers typically work with 2–4 regular clients and build ongoing relationships with them. Work is physical and involves being on your feet for much of the day, helping clients move, and traveling between client homes.

Caregivers must work at least 20 hours per week and be available between 6 AM and 8 PM; most work takes place between 8 AM and 5 PM. Individual shifts may be 2–3, 4–6, or 8 hours, depending on client needs. The schedule is based on the days, times, travel distance, and client preferences discussed during the phone interview. The first two weeks may include fill-in shifts to assess reliability, unless a suitable permanent client is available immediately. Extra fill-in shifts may be picked up. Drive time between clients is paid; travel to the first client and from the last client is unpaid.

Starting pay is $18 per hour for an active or expired STNA license; $16–$18 per hour for an HHA certificate or qualifying experience, based on the interview; and $16 per hour for the free training pathway. Caregivers who refer and provide care to a private-pay client earn $19 per hour as an HHA or $20 per 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, totaling up to $2 per hour. Additional bonuses are available for perfect attendance and successful referrals.

Candidates may qualify through an STNA license, an HHA certificate, at least one year of qualifying experience under an RN or LPN, or free 32-hour online HHA training. Depending on the pathway, the hiring process may include an application, phone discussion, online questionnaire, experience verification or HHA competency test, online paperwork and orientation, document verification, and fingerprinting. Ohio requires HHA candidates to pass written and skills competency tests unless exempt based on STNA licensure or qualifying prior test results. The role requires a driver's license, an insured personal vehicle suitable for work driving, passing background checks, legal authorization to work in the United States, and being at least 18 years old. Applicants must show original identity and work-authorization documents during an orientation video call.

The employer states that the job has no PTO, health insurance, or 401(k). Time off is unpaid and requires one month's notice. Haven Home Care is an equal opportunity employer and an E-Verify participant.
