Vacant job

About Us

Trygga Barn is a foster home operation within the Vivant Omsorg organization. We started in November 2022 and are the first organization in the country to offer child representatives to all placed children. We focus on children and young people who need placement outside their own home. Our mindset is that children do not have direct behavioral problems; rather, the child's upbringing conditions have led to mental health issues, trauma, substance abuse, and criminality.

Job Responsibilities

Our organization is currently in an expansion phase, and we need another new colleague! We are now looking for a foster home supervisor. Your responsibilities include guiding and supporting foster homes, emergency homes, and treatment families. Depending on the assignments, supervision can take place weekly or monthly, both physically and digitally.

You should be familiar with record-keeping and have the ability to write weekly and monthly reports. You should have knowledge of social services' work with children and youth and be able to guide the foster homes in that. We consider it an advantage if you have completed training in supervision for foster homes and/or "A Home to Grow".

You should be open to flexibility and able to make day trips to various locations in the country when visiting your foster homes. If necessary, you may need to conduct foster home investigations.

Workplace and Working Hours

Our office is located in central Stockholm, a three-minute walk from the subway at Gullmarsplan. You have the opportunity to work from home 1-3 days a week. When visiting foster homes, the workplace is in another location. The position is full-time, and you are responsible for managing your working hours. We are also a dog-friendly workplace!

Employment

The employment is permanent with a six-month probationary period. We have a collective agreement, and you will receive occupational pension, wellness benefits, and fun and driven colleagues. You also need to understand that we are in an expansion phase and find organizational development enjoyable. You should be able to provide feedback and ideas so we can always improve. All our employees receive a secure introduction, and you have a supportive manager who will always assist you in your role.
