Job description

Description:

Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a top-notch home and school where 2,000 pre-K through 12th grade students from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided an extraordinary, cost-free, career-focused education. This is made possible by the generosity of Milton and Catherine Hershey, who established the school in 1909 and ensured it was fully endowed. Thanks to that foresight, the school has almost 12,000 graduates and is expanding to serve more students.

MHS is hiring Flex Transitional Living Assistants (FTLA) to live with and supervise high school seniors in campus residence buildings in Hershey, PA. FTLA’s mentor MHS seniors to ensure they develop the life skills necessary for success post-graduation—whether entering post-secondary education, the military, or the workforce. FTLA's role includes role-modeling life skills and teaching self-responsibility, goal setting, planning & prioritization, time management, personal finance, and interpersonal skills—including appropriate dating behavior and managing peer pressure.

Other responsibilities include creating and supervising evening & weekend recreational activities, taking students to Sunday chapel services, and collaborating with staff to evaluate and enhance the program. Additionally, FTLA’s provide coverage in students' homes as needed.

This is a year-round position, working a schedule of 9 consecutive days followed by 3 days off. Compensation includes a minimum annual salary of $48,799 plus a benefits package. Housing & utilities are provided. Up to $2,800 in relocation assistance is available.

Qualifications:

1. Bachelor's Degree required.
2. Valid driver's license in good standing and ability to become certified to drive a 9-passenger van.
3. Experience working in youth residential settings is a plus.
4. Experience mentoring, teaching, or advising diverse youth from under-served backgrounds is desired.
5. Success in developing & delivering life skills training is a plus.
6. Exceptional interpersonal & leadership skills are required, including conflict management and inspiring others.
7. High organizational skills and flexibility are necessary.
8. Computer skills including Microsoft & Google applications, Internet, and social media.
9. As this is a live-in position, only married spouses may reside in the apartment; overnight guests must be pre-approved. No pets, no smoking, no weapons, and no alcohol while on duty.
10. Candidates should demonstrate high integrity, as all MHS staff serve as role models for students.
