You will be required to work 48 hours every 6 weeks and complete a full time orientation (M-F, 8a-5p) for the first 8 weeks.
At Cleveland Clinic, we know what matters most. That's why we treat our caregivers as if they are our own family, and we are always creating ways to be there for you. Here, you'll find that we offer: resources to learn and grow, a fulfilling career for everyone, and comprehensive benefits that invest in your health, your physical and mental well-being and your future.
