LPN Position in Eastern Ohio ExpansionHaven Home Care has been a trusted provider of quality home healthcare services since 1998, successfully serving the Akron-Canton area for over 25 years. We are now expanding our proven care model to Eastern Ohio, bringing our established standards and reputation to new communities.This is a unique opportunity to join our Eastern Ohio expansion into Ashtabula, Columbiana, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties. As we launch services in this new territory, we are seeking an LPN to help establish our presence and grow with us.This is a per-visit role. It is not an hourly job. You are paid for each completed visit or task: $25 per supervisory visit, $35 per open visit, $35 per skills test, and $35 per hour of office time for written tests, plus mileage reimbursed at $0.655 per mile.This is an expansion role perfect for supplemental income, not primary employment. Initial hours will be minimal (potentially 5-10 hours per week or less) as we build our client base in Eastern Ohio from the ground up.Here is what that looks like at the start. This is a brand-new territory, so we begin with no clients. We may bring on about one new client a month, and some months none at all. Each new client means one open visit. After that, every active client gets a supervisory visit every 60 days. So the work builds as the client base builds: the more active clients we have, the more supervisory visits there are, and the more you earn. In the early months that is a small number of visits per month.The Licensed Practical Nurse in this supervisory role is responsible for completing open visits, collecting documentation, conducting supervisory visits to check on Home Health Aides every 60 days, and completing pre-employment testing for aide candidates.
