Vivant Care's Trygga Barn Program

Vivant Care is now seeking 5 Foster Families and/or Emergency Homes for project employment in connection with placements within the Trygga Barn program. Employment is offered in conjunction with the placement of children and is in the form of project or fixed-term employment with salary.

Trygga Barn is a family and emergency home service that receives placements of children who have been subjected to various forms of violence, such as attachment trauma, psychological violence, and acute protection needs. The children may exhibit trauma and mental health issues, such as self-destructive behaviors, trauma diagnoses, insecure attachment, and anxiety problems.

Trygga Barn is the first foster care service in Sweden where all placed children are assigned a child representative with confidentiality towards the foster home, in order to ensure good care and prevent misconduct. The program also has specialist competence in narcissistic and emotional violence.

All foster and emergency homes within the program are offered continuous training, supervision, and relief.

The employment is linked to the actual placement of children. If a full-time adult is needed at home, project employment with Vivant Assistans is offered, with salary according to agreement. In cases where leave of absence is required from another job, this is compensated through the employment.

The recruitment concerns concrete employments and not expressions of interest or building a candidate database.

As a foster family or emergency home, you are responsible for:

• providing the child with a safe, stable, and loving home environment

• meeting the child's daily care needs, schooling, and contacts with care and other services

• collaborating with the program manager, social services, child representatives, guardians, and other stakeholders

Foster families receive children for shorter or longer periods. You have the opportunity, in dialogue with the program, to influence which target group and case complexity you accept. Previous experience is not a requirement – training and supervision are offered continuously.

Emergency homes receive children at short notice, often during acute placements. For this role, it is required that an adult can be at home full-time during the placement. A driver's license and stable living situation are required.

We welcome all types of family constellations, such as single parents, couples, same-sex couples, and families with or without children of their own.

Requirements:

• At least 18 years old

• The child must be offered their own room

• Criminal record check, suspicion register, social register, LOB register, as well as records from the Social Insurance Agency and Enforcement Authority

• For emergency homes: driver's license and ability to be at home full-time

Personal qualities that are highly valued include security, emotional availability, teamwork, self-reflection, and commitment.

• Employment type: Project/fixed-term employment upon placement

• Scope: Full-time as needed

• Salary: According to agreement

• Number of positions: 5
