About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring Home Health Aides in Summit County, Ohio. The role helps people—mostly older adults—with daily living in their homes, including bathing, dressing, meals, light cleaning, errands, and companionship. Aides help clients move around and are on their feet for much of the day. They do not administer medication or perform medical tasks, which are handled by nurses.

Applicants may qualify through an active or expired STNA license, an HHA certificate of at least 30 hours, at least one year of qualifying work under an RN or LPN, or Haven Home Care’s free 32-hour online training course. All aides must pass Ohio’s competency test unless they qualify for an exemption: STNAs skip it, and applicants with documented prior HHA test results of at least 80% may also skip it. The test includes written and practical skills components, each requiring 80%, and is held in person at the company’s Cuyahoga Falls office.

The position is a W-2 job. Aides must work at least 20 hours per week and be available between 6 AM and 8 PM; most work is between 8 AM and 5 PM. Shifts vary with client needs and may be 2–3, 4–6, or 8 hours. Aides generally serve 2–4 regular clients, with additional fill-in shifts available. Client assignments are matched to the worker’s stated limits, including travel distance, days and times, pets, and smoking. Travel time between clients is paid; travel to the first client and home from the last client is not.

Hourly pay is $18 for STNAs, $16–$18 for applicants with an HHA certificate or qualifying experience, and $16 for applicants completing the free training path. Pay for applicants with a care background whose experience or certificate cannot be verified may be based on the interview at $16–$18 per hour. Aides receive a 10% holiday pay premium and are paid every two weeks by direct deposit. The posting describes performance-based raises at 90 days, one year, and two years, plus attendance and referral bonuses. Time off is unpaid; the company states it does not offer PTO, a 401(k), or health insurance.

• Pass the required HHA competency test with at least 80% on both the written and skills portions, unless exempt as an STNA or through qualifying prior test results.
