Job Description

Description:

Milton Hershey School (MHS) is one of the world's best private schools, where students in pre-K through 12th grade from disadvantaged backgrounds receive an exceptional career-focused education. They are also provided with housing, meals, and more—and all costs are covered. Thanks to the generosity of Milton and Catherine Hershey, who founded the school in 1909, the school is fully endowed and has the resources to ensure students can thrive.

MHS is hiring married couples to become weekend houseparents. Weekend houseparents are couples who stay in on-campus student homes every other weekend (from 6 p.m. Friday to 9:30 p.m. Sunday) to supervise and nurture a group of approximately 8-12 students while the full-time couples are off-duty. They provide a consistent family-like structure for students and handle responsibilities such as coordinating student activities, chaperoning to Sunday chapel services, driving student home vans, administering medications, preparing meals, and more.

Weekend houseparents are compensated $756.20 per person, per weekend and meals are provided while on duty. Paid training is provided and required annually.

The next start date is anticipated to be March 14th, 2025 and the selection process typically takes three to four months.

Qualifications:

  • Experience working or volunteering with youth, preferably from under-served settings


  • This is a two-person job for couples who have been legally married for at least two years


  • Both spouses should be age 27 or older


  • No more than three dependent children may accompany the couple


  • Abide by a smoke-free and weapon-free campus. No alcohol is permitted while on duty


  • Valid driver’s licenses; ability to become certified to drive student home vans


  • Couples should reside no more than a 100 mile radius of campus.

  • High school diploma or GED required


  • Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs.


  • Candidates must demonstrate a high degree of integrity as all staff are role models for students.


  • Both spouses must complete an individual employment application


This is a unique career path that takes consideration and commitment from both spouses. If you have any specific questions before or after applying, please reach out to our recruitment team at houseparentrecruitment@mhs-pa.org.
