Description

We are looking for an engaged Family Home Secretary for Family Home Unit 2 for permanent placements within the Family Home Service Hisingen! Are you a trained social worker with experience in social investigation work and curious about family home care? Then this might be the opportunity you have been waiting for! The Family Home Service Hisingen consists of two units where Family Home Unit 2 works with permanent placements and Family Home Unit 1 works with emergency care, recruitment, and contact families/individuals. Our operations have a prioritized and active work regarding ensuring that family home care is of good quality, securing the situation of the placed children, and ensuring that our foster homes receive the support they need.

Responsibilities

Your main task will be to investigate prospective foster homes as well as to supervise and support foster homes in ongoing placements. You will also handle contracts and economy.
