What are the responsibilities and job description for the Couples Career Advancement Opportunity position at Milton Hershey School?
Milton Hershey School is seeking married couples to fill the role of flex houseparents, providing a stable family-like setting for disadvantaged youth in an educational environment.
As flex houseparents, couples will guide and nurture a small group of students, managing various responsibilities such as driving, administering medication, budgeting, and reporting. The position offers competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, health savings and flexible spending accounts, life insurance, disability options, and retirement savings.
Candidates should have experience working or volunteering with youth, preferably from under-served settings, and be legally married for at least two years. Both spouses should be age 27 or older, and no more than three dependent children may reside in the student home.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable leading students in daily devotions and taking students to Judeo-Christian Sunday chapel services, without proselytizing. A valid driver's license and ability to become certified to drive student home vans are also required. High school diploma or GED is necessary, and candidates must demonstrate a high degree of integrity as all staff are role models for students.
In this unique career path, couples work together to provide a supportive environment for students, enjoying a schedule of nine days on followed by three days off, with three-week paid summer vacation. This is a great opportunity for married couples who want to make a difference in the lives of young people.
