Therapist Recruitment Process at KidsCare
KidsCare Home Health has been providing pediatric home health services since 2003 when owner/founder Cortney Baker (SLP) opened KidsCare Therapy, which rebranded to KidsCare Home Health in 2017. Since its inception, KidsCare Home Health has focused on changing lives through C.A.R.E. (Commitment, Accountability, Results, and Ethics) and establishing a healthy and supportive workplace environment for all.
Over the years, KidsCare Home Health has flourished under the C.A.R.E. founding principles and earned recognition as a Top Workplace winner (both locally and nationally). The secret to our workplace success? Cultivating a family-style team and ethically centered, therapist-owned workplace that values work-life balance, peer support, continuing education, and professional flexibility.
Today, we continue to provide top-quality therapy services for pediatric patients nationwide while focusing on growing our loyal team of therapists and administrators. We are actively recruiting professionals in nursing, speech, occupational, and physical therapy – and today’s post gives an in-depth look at our recruitment process steps – and all the benefits of being part of the KidsCare Home Health team!

Our Hiring Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
Applying for a new position can be daunting, so we want to provide a clear picture of our process, including detailed recruitment process steps, so you know exactly what to expect.
Whether applicants contact us via the website, a third-party hiring site (i.e., Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.), or a recruiter – we believe transparency throughout the recruitment and selection process is paramount to establishing trust – a value we hold in high esteem at KidsCare Home Health.
- Step 1: Application Process
This begins once an application is submitted on KidsCare Home Health’s website, through a recruiter, or on a third-party hiring site. - Step 2: Informational Interview
If the applicant meets the criteria outlined for the position, an initial informational phone meeting will be scheduled. During this meeting, we will share basic information about the company and a high-level overview of the position. - Step 3: Clinical Interview
Once the initial informational phone meeting concludes, the applicant’s information is shared with the clinical manager overseeing the position’s area, who will contact the applicant for a second interview. During this interview, we will review information in depth, discuss the clinical aspects of the position, and share information about the incentives and benefits available. - Step 4: Offer Letter
If everything aligns, an Offer Letter will be extended to the applicant.
