Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Rogersville
The Town of Rogersville describes itself as the seat of Hawkins County, settled in 1775 by the grandparents of Davy Crockett and named for its founder, Joseph Rogers. Town hall is at 106 East Kyle Street, (423) 272-7497. Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024 (ACS) give Rogersville 4,647 residents with a median age of 37.5; 909 of them (19.6%) are 65 or older, 24.0% of the civilian population outside institutions reports a disability, and 194 households (10.9%) are women aged 65 or over who live alone. In a town this size, a search radius that takes in the rest of Hawkins County and the towns beyond it shows you more of the postings published nearby.
Rogersville has a single ZIP code, 37857. Set a radius that reflects how far you are willing to drive: Mohawk in Greene County, for instance, is about 16 straight-line miles from Rogersville by ZIP centroid, which is not a road distance. Residents' average commute in the ACS is 28.4 minutes (with a wide margin of ±9.9), so a drive of that length is ordinary for working residents. On your profile, list the days and shifts you can take, whether you have a car, and any experience sitting with an older relative, helping after a hospital stay or working at a nursing home.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Rogersville: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro (includes Hawkins County); private rates on CaregiverConnect are agreed between each caregiver and family and are not tracked by any agency.
| Measure | Hourly | Source and coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Home health and personal care aides, Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro (includes Hawkins County) | $14.31 median ($15.05 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 1,290 jobs; concentration 0.39× national |
| Tennessee, all 35,950 home health and personal care aides, median | $15.45 | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| Federal (Tennessee has no state minimum) minimum wage | $7.25 | effective July 24, 2009 |
| Nursing assistants, Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro (includes Hawkins County) | $18.05 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 (certified roles, for comparison) |
Who is the employer. A family that hires you directly is your employer. Tennessee has no state minimum wage law, so the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour is the legal floor, and federal overtime rules apply to directly employed caregivers unless the work is exempt companionship under the FLSA. Sources: US Department of Labor, state minimum wage laws; US Department of Labor, direct care workers.
For its wage survey BLS puts Hawkins County in the Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro area, together with Sullivan County and three Virginia jurisdictions (Bristol city, Scott County and Washington County). The metro's 1,290 workers in that aide occupation had a $14.31 median hourly wage in May 2025, lower than Tennessee's $15.45, while its 1,400 nursing assistants had an $18.05 median. The gap of almost four dollars is the main argument for nurse aide certification if you want facility or hospital work. Tennessee sets no minimum wage of its own, so the federal $7.25 applies. Private rates are agreed with each family; put the rate and hours in writing.
How the public numbers relate to private rates, and what affects them, is covered in the caregiver pay guide.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in Tennessee, applied to Rogersville
The area agency on aging for Hawkins County is First Tennessee AAAD in Johnson City, 1-866-836-6678 or 423-928-3258, which handles CHOICES screening for people not yet on TennCare and the state-funded Options for Community Living program. Anyone already on TennCare asks their health plan about CHOICES instead. Tennessee Adult Protective Services answers its line at 1-888-277-8366 day and night whenever someone suspects an adult is being abused, neglected or exploited (911 in an emergency). The Health Facilities Commission licenses health facilities and runs the nurse aide registry. Federal wage law (the FLSA) reaches household workers too: a companion can fall outside its pay floor and overtime rules, and someone living in the home outside its overtime rule alone. Agencies lost both exemptions in a 2013 rule that the Labor Department proposed undoing in July 2025. This site runs no background checks and verifies no licenses.
