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, 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.
This position offers a dynamic rhythm: upon hire, 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. Over time, successful candidates 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 two-person role requiring both spouses to be legally married for at least two years. For consideration, both spouses must complete individual employment applications. To learn more about the opportunity and to apply, please visit www.mhskids.org.
