Sounds like one hell of an inconvenience... but I think you'll have to put up with it. The SO should have discussed it with you first, although the outcome should/would probably remain the same. To turn away her family in a time of need would likely be seen as cold and uncaring (by the rest of the family as well). If it were your parents, how would you react? What if it then turned into a long term situation with your parents?
Have the talk with her and look for *additional*, not *alternative* ideas. Any other family members he could also visit during the job hunt?
Certainly make it clear to her that you want to do everything you can to help, but that you do not want to get used and it must be a temporary arrangement. Since this is her parent, her judgement will be at least slightly clouded when there is a matter of conflict. Since this is not your parent, and it is an inconvenience to you, your judgement will also be somewhat clouded. It would certainly be best to avoid the situation entirely, but you can't... so think it through and make the best of it.
