Barber, Part-Time

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 currently seeking a part-time Barber to work in the School's Hair Salon - Spartan Styles to provide hair care to students from Pre-K through 12th grades. This position provides barbering services (clipper and scissor cuts) for our male students, and it is important for the barber to have experience with all types of hair and cutting techniques. Enhancing and maintaining healthy hair for students by providing instruction in grooming and hygiene is also an important part of the job. Hours are scheduled as needed, by the Spartan Styles Salon - Monday through Saturday. Barbers should be available to work Monday through Thursday starting at 3:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and occasionally Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings as needed from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Approximately 20-29 hours per week when students are in school, and it cannot be guaranteed as it's determined by scheduling requests from the students.

MHS stylists are paid at an hourly rate (NOT "per head/tip basis") based on experience. Hourly pay rate: $23.40 to $38.61. Part-time employees are eligible for a retirement savings plan, an employee assistance program (EAP), free lunches when on duty, and Hershey area discounts.
