Vacant job

We are looking for Foster Homes in Tingsryd Municipality:

As a foster home in Tingsryd, you will take care of a child or a youth in your home. Sometimes we look for placements for sibling pairs.

No special skills are required to be a foster home; what is needed is safety, structure, but above all, a lot of joy and heart.

A foster home can look different; it can be one or two adults with or without children. Whether you live in the countryside or in the city, in a house or an apartment - everyone is needed. Coming from different cultures and backgrounds is only enriching.

To be approved as a foster home, you will undergo a foster home investigation. The requirements to start a foster home investigation include:

• That you have emotional space to welcome a new family member.

• That you have extracts from the police's criminal and suspicion register, the Enforcement Authority, the Social Register, and the Social Insurance Agency.

• That there is a vacant room.

• That you master the Swedish language.

Personal suitability is crucial for the task, and it is an advantage if you have experience with similar assignments.

As a foster home, you will welcome a child who needs extra support and care in your home. We provide regular guidance and training for our foster homes. We are available by phone 24/7.

Your new family member will participate in the daily life of the home, where the foster home should serve as a good role model for the placed child and provide care, engagement, and safety.

The placed child should have the opportunity to participate in the family's own activities and family life.

Some children or youths need to stay in a foster home for a shorter period, while others grow up in their foster home until they are ready for their own housing.

The compensation consists of two parts, one in the form of a fee, and a tax-free expense allowance. We are recruiting continuously, so do not hesitate to contact us. #jobnow.
