Home Health Aide - Start This Week - We Train Free

Haven Home Care • Green, OH

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Haven Home Care is hiring Home Health Aides to serve clients, primarily older adults, in Summit County, Ohio. Applicants can qualify through an active or expired STNA license, a qualifying HHA certificate, at least one year of qualifying supervised experience, or the company’s free 32-hour online training course. The hiring and qualification timeline varies by pathway: 1–3 days for STNAs, 5–8 days for certificate holders or applicants whose experience is verified, and 1–2 weeks for applicants completing free training. The training course is completed at home, is not paid, and must be finished within six days. Applicants generally complete a phone conversation, an online questionnaire, any applicable competency test, online paperwork and orientation, document verification, and fingerprinting. Some pathways also require employer verification of experience. The required competency test has written and practical sections, both taken in person at the Cuyahoga Falls office; applicants must score at least 80% on both. STNAs skip the test, and applicants with qualifying test results from elsewhere may also skip it.

Aides visit clients’ homes and help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meals, light cleaning, errands, and companionship. They do not administer medication or perform medical tasks. The work is physical, involves helping clients move and being on one’s feet much of the day, and requires travel between clients. Shifts range from about 2–3 hours to 8 hours, depending on client needs. The role requires at least 20 hours per week and availability between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.; most work is between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Aides provide their availability and client-placement limits, such as travel distance, days, times, pets, and smoking. The employer aims to match assignments to those limits, but preferences can reduce the number of available matches. The posting describes regular clients, commonly 2–4 per aide, and opportunities to take additional fill-in shifts.

Pay is $18 per hour for STNAs, $16–$18 per hour based on interview for HHA certificate holders and applicants with qualifying experience, and $16 per hour for applicants with no caregiving experience who complete free training. Applicants with prior care backgrounds who need to use the training path because experience cannot be verified may receive $16–$18 per hour based on interview. Referred private-pay client work pays $19 per hour for HHAs and $20 per hour for STNAs. Drive time between clients is paid; travel to the first client and home from the last client is not. Employees are paid every two weeks by direct deposit, receive an additional 10% on holidays, and are employed as W-2 workers. Performance reviews can provide raises at 90 days, one year, and two years, totaling up to $2 per hour over two years. Bonuses are available for perfect attendance, referring an aide who remains employed, and referring a private-pay client.

The employer states that time off is unpaid, requests should be made one month in advance, and there is no PTO, 401(k), or health insurance. Haven Home Care is an equal opportunity employer, participates in E-Verify, and has operated in Ohio since 1998.
