Jobs Available: Ohio At Home Healthcare Agency

Ohio At Home Healthcare Agency currently has a need for home health aides to cover the hours of clients.
The clients in need primarily live directly across the street from the OSU Wexner Medical Center and has a stop on the CLN/CLS routes, making it perfect for OSU class schedules and those who lives in the dorms. Student Safety can also be accessed at this location. 
 
Supported clients have developmental disabilities ranging from children with autism to adults with paraplegia/quadriplegia. This is a great way for pre-health students to gain patient care experience, but they also hire students studying other disciplines. They have aides who have majors in other areas like music and languages. Ohio At Home believes everyone’s interests and hobbies can benefit the lives of clients.

Ohio Stadium has been the largest stadium in the nation to achieve Zero Waste status for a few seasons, diverting at least 90 percent of all disposal materials from the landfill through composting, recycling, and re purposing. If this status is to be maintained, waste diversion in the tailgate lots needs to improve.

Zero Waste Tailgate Interns will work in teams to educate and engage fans on proper recycling and waste disposal methods, as well as keeping their assigned lot as clean as possible. Interns will work 6 hours or less on game days and receive $9.00/hour as compensation.

If interested, send your resume and a short message explaining your interest to recycle@osu.edu.
