Hospice Aide / CNA — M–F Days, No Weekends, Every Minute Paid (Including Drive Time)

Description

Most hospice aide jobs pay you for the visit - and quietly expect the driving and charting for free. And most come with a weekend rotation and an on-call phone that follows you home.

This one doesn’t. Any of it.

Anova Hospice & Palliative Care is hiring a full-time Hospice Aide (CNA) based out of New Stanton, serving patients across Westmoreland and Fayette counties. Monday through Friday, daytime hours. Your weekends are yours - every one of them.

We pay for your whole day - not just the visit

• Drive time between visits: paid at your full hourly rate. Not minimum wage. Not unpaid.
• Documentation time: paid at your full hourly rate. Charting is part of the job, so we pay for it like part of the job.
• Mileage reimbursement on top of paid drive time.

If you’ve worked per-visit before, do the math on what your “hourly rate” actually was after unpaid windshield time. Then compare.

What your day actually looks like

• 5–8 patient visits per day - real time with each patient, not a race between doors
• Home territory: Allegheny County. Occasional coverage visits in neighboring counties- and when that happens, every mile of drive time is paid at your full rate, plus mileage
• Consistent assignments - you see the same patients, and their families know your name
• You’re backed by an RN case manager and a full interdisciplinary team; you’re never the only set of eyes on a patient

Benefits that start fast

• $20–$23 per hour , based on experience - bi-weekly pay
• Company-provided health coverage for you AND your dependents , effective the 1st of the month after your hire date - no 90-day wait
• PTO that grows with you: 10 paid days off in year one, 15 in years 2–5, 20 from year six on
• 6 paid holidays plus a paid day off for your birthday
• 401(k) eligibility after 3 months, with a 50% company match on the first 3% you contribute
• Dental, vision, life, and short-term disability plans available
• Paid training and continuing education

What you’ll do

• Provide hands-on personal care: bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and incontinence care - always protecting patient dignity
• Assist with mobility, transfers, and positioning for comfort
• Support patients at mealtimes and with light tidying of the patient’s immediate care area
• Observe and report changes in condition to the RN case manager
• Document visits clearly and on time
• Care for patients and families during one of the most meaningful chapters of their lives - this is skilled, valued work, and we treat it that way

What you’ll need

• Active Pennsylvania CNA certification
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening
• Hospice or palliative care experience preferred - but if you have the heart for this work, we’ll train the rest
• Physical ability to safely assist with transfers and personal care
