Home Care Network (HCN) is growing rapidly throughout Northeast Ohio, where hospitals and referral partners require agencies to begin care within 2448 hours to secure new cases. To meet these rapid Start of Care (SOC) requirements, we're building a Ready to Work New Employee Pool of fully-onboarded caregivers who want earlier access to cases and the ability to start quickly once matched.

This faster path to case assignments means you start working and earning quicker than in our standard roles and you also receive 1st priority access to add additional hours/cases and new cases that come up over time within your service area.

If you're a reliable, compassionate, experienced caregiver who thrives in self-driven, one-on-one care environments, this role offers priority access to cases that match your personal and professional preferences, weekly pay, and strong support from a mission-driven team.

What This Role Looks Like

As a member of the Ready to Work New Employee Pool, you will:

• Complete all onboarding upfront and become fully "case-ready".
• Be available to start new case assignments immediately - within 24-48 hours - once matched.
• Quickly move into your preferred schedule type - starting at PT then building up to your desired # of hours per week (PT or FT).
• Receive cases aligned to your location, travel radius, experience, and availability.
• Get priority access to add new cases in this high-demand area - based on your preferences.
• Receive weekly pay and strong support and communication from our care coordination teams.

This role offers the same culture, pay, and support as our standard caregiving positions - but with faster case placement and more opportunities to build your ideal schedule.

In Exchange for your commitment to quickly start and when necessary - build up your cases over the first few weeks (as opposed to not starting until all new cases are secured for your schedule), HCN will guarantee your pay for the first 60 days at the full # of hours you commit to working per week, regardless of how many hours you actually work per week during the Ramp-Up period.

• Receiving guaranteed pay through the first 60 days (which is 100% optional) requires the HCN employee participants to commit to at least 1 year of employment with HCN while maintaining reliable, accountable work performance at her/his chosen average # of hours/wk. Participants also have the option to receive 1st-priority to change a case after 60 days, should your case assignment not be a long-term fit or something closer becomes available.

This model helps us secure more cases - which gives you earlier access to work opportunities in highly-competitive areas AND predictable income during any ramp-up period.

Why Caregivers Love This Model

• Guaranteed pay for the first 60 days at your desired # hrs/wk (even if you start with fewer cases as we build up your schedule).
• More opportunities in competitive markets that match your preferences and travel distances.
• Weekly pay (Fridays) + direct deposit.

Hourly Pay Ranges

• STNA: $17 - $20 / hr.
• DSP: $16 - $20 / hr.
• CNA, CHHA, HHA: $15 - $19.50 / hr.

Pay varies based on the region/geography pay scale, travel. employee qualifications and certifications, experience, skill specializations, positive employment & job tenure history, positive professional references, and overall client & team fit.
