Job Description:
Description Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a top-notch home and
school where 2,100 pre-K through 12th grade students from
disadvantaged backgrounds are provided with 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 seeking a Part-Time Behavior Support Specialist II (BSS-II)
to assist with the provision of comprehensive behavioral management
services to students and staff. The primary purpose of this
position is to provide students with structured learning
opportunities that promote essential skill development necessary
for successful interpersonal relationships and management of their
own behaviors. This position requires the ability to communicate
and work effectively with others (supporting Sponsors, Scholastics,
Home Life, and Student Health Services staff members), teamwork and
cooperation with other adults throughout the school.
The BSS-II position requires the ability to implement individual
skill work and psychoeducational skills groups for students
utilizing evidence based social and emotional learning materials
for youth ranging in age from grades PreK-12. Structuring the

Summer Hours 8 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm.
During the summer, the BSS-II provides crisis intervention support
and behavioral services programming through the YRE program. As the
psychological climate of the school's programs evolves, this
position will assist in the provision of proactive recommendations
and activities to provide for ethical and appropriate comprehensive
behavioral interventions. The interventions are meant to enhance
the students' learning, emotional, social and physical
well-being.
The Behavior Support Specialists are represented by Milton Hershey
School Association (MHEA). Hourly pay rate: $27.11 to $43.33, pay
