About the School
Located in Hershey, PA, the Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a top-notch home and school where over 2,200 pre-K through 12th-grade students from disadvantaged backgrounds receive an extraordinary, cost-free, career-focused education. Established in 1909 by Milton and Catherine Hershey, the school was fully endowed to ensure its longevity. Thanks to their foresight, MHS has over 12,000 graduates and continues to expand its mission to serve more students.
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.
Initially, Flex Houseparents support various student homes on a schedule of nine consecutive days on duty followed by three days off. During weekdays, houseparents have unscheduled time while students are in school. This role eventually transitions into a Placed Houseparent position, where the couple lives and works with the same group of students in their own student home.
Hiring Process
This is a unique, challenging, and rewarding career that requires a high level of commitment to student success from both spouses. For consideration, both spouses must complete individual employment applications. To learn more and apply, visit www.mhskids.org.
Our Culture
MHS staff serve as role models for students, demonstrating integrity and professionalism. The campus is committed to being smoke-free and weapon-free, with no alcohol permitted while on duty. The environment is Judeo-Christian, and houseparents are expected to be comfortable leading students in daily devotions and accompanying them to Sunday Chapel services (proselytizing is prohibited).
