Once I am set up on Carina, what do I do if I am having issues?
Call 1-855-796-0605 or fill out the support form at carina.org/contactus
Once I am set up on Carina, how do I find work?
After registering, you can search for available jobs nearby. You can also set your profile to “available” and have consumers nearby reach out to you. Once you have found a job that you are interested in, you can message the consumer directly on Carina’s secure messaging platform. This means that you can communicate with consumers, but do not have to share your contact information unless you feel comfortable doing so. If they are a good match, you can set up a time to call or meet for an interview.
Am I required to use Carina?
No, using Carina to find work is voluntary.
I am currently on the Registry managed by the Oregon Home Care Commission (OHCC). Will my registration automatically carry over to Carina, or will I need to re-register?
Yes, even if you are on the OHCC Registry, you will need to register on Carina if you wish to join.
Will the OHCC registry close?
We expect that, over time, Carina will replace the existing registry. We do not currently have a timeline for when the OHCC registry will close.
How did Carewell SEIU 503 select Carina?
In the 2019 collective bargaining agreement, the Oregon Home Care Commission and SEIU Local 503 agreed that it was a priority to implement an updated consumer and provider registry in partnership with Carewell SEIU 503. As a result, Carina, a nonprofit with an established care service registry in Washington, was selected by Carewell SEIU 503 to carry out that work.
