Description:

Located in Hershey, PA, Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a top-notch home and school where over 2,200 pre-K through 12th grade students from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided an extraordinary, cost-free, career-focused education. This is made possible by the generosity of Milton and Catherine Hershey, who established the school in 1909 and ensured it was fully endowed. Thanks to their foresight and generosity, the school has over 12,000 graduates and continues to expand to serve more students.

MHS is hiring married couples to serve as Full-time Flex Houseparents. In this unique and life-changing career, couples reside in on-campus student homes and provide care, guidance, supervision, and support for a group of approximately 8–13 students living in the home.

Upon hire, Flex Houseparents initially support various student homes and follow a working schedule of nine consecutive days on duty, followed by three days off. On weekdays, houseparents have unscheduled time while students are in school. Flex Houseparents eventually transition into a Placed Houseparent role, where they live and work with the same group of students in their own student home.

Benefits include:

• 
  
• Salary: $44,768.00 per person (approximately $168,000 total compensation per couple, including free housing, meals while on duty, utilities, and more)
  
• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, and vision insurance; health savings and flexible spending accounts; life insurance; disability options; retirement savings
  
• Relocation assistance and paid training provided
  

• 
  Paid time off provided at designated times throughout the year
  

Qualifications include:

• 
  
• Experience working or volunteering with youth
  
• This is a two-person role for couples legally married for at least two years
  
• Both spouses must be age 27 or older
  
• No more than three dependent children may reside in the student home
  
• Commitment to a smoke-free and weapon-free campus; no alcohol permitted while on duty
  
• Pet limitations: only fish and one dog of approved breeds allowed
  
• Valid U.S. driver’s license and ability to become certified to drive student home vans
  
• Comfort leading students in daily devotions and accompanying them to Judeo-Christian Sunday Chapel services (proselytizing prohibited)
