About the Role
MHS is seeking married couples to serve as Full-time Flex Houseparents in a unique and life-changing career. In this role, couples reside in on-campus student homes to provide care, guidance, supervision, and support for a group of approximately 8–13 students. Flex Houseparents play a vital role in creating a structured, family-like environment that fosters students' academic, emotional, and social development, enabling them to reach their full potential.
The position begins with a Flex schedule, where houseparents initially support various student homes. The working rhythm consists of nine consecutive days on duty followed by three days off. During weekdays, houseparents have unscheduled time while students are in school. Over time, Flex Houseparents transition into a Placed Houseparent role, living and working with the same group of students in their own dedicated student home.
Hiring Process
This is a unique, challenging, and rewarding career choice that requires a high level of commitment to student success from both spouses. To be considered, both spouses must complete individual employment applications. For more information and to apply, please visit www.mhskids.org.
