Vacant job

Trygga Familjehem i Sverige AB is now looking for families and single individuals who wish to help children and young people aged 0–20. We are seeking both family homes and emergency care homes (jourhem).

Being an emergency care home or family home

Being a family home is interesting, challenging, and above all rewarding! It is about opening the doors to your home, your family, and your daily life, offering security, guidelines, rules, and above all, much joy and heart, along with a desire to share your life.

This naturally involves a significant challenge and requires a clear ambition to succeed. This ambition must be shared by all family members, and a common understanding of what the assignment entails is of great importance. Naturally, everyone is affected when a new individual moves in and becomes part of the family. NOTE: A single person can also be an emergency care or family home.

The most important thing is that you have a genuine interest in helping a child or young person achieve a better life. You must also be able to collaborate with all actors surrounding the placed child/young person, such as schools, social workers, family home consultants, etc.

To qualify for a placement, you need a little extra of everything; space, time, and capability! Our requirements to begin a family home assessment include, among others:

• You must not appear in the police's crime and suspicion register, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's register regarding long-term sick leave, the Swedish Enforcement Authority's register, or the social register over the last five years.
• There must be an available bedroom that can be offered to the placed child, without any family member having to give up their own bedroom. Note that shared spaces do not count as bedrooms.
• Your residence must be permanent, meaning you do not sublet, live as a lodger, or similar. The residence must be fully furnished and homely.
• You are in full health and fit for work.
• You have a stable income and means of support.
• At least one of you has time for meetings with social services and our family home consultants.
• You do not have any major upcoming life changes, such as moving, long trips, new studies, pregnancy, or similar.
• You are proficient in the Swedish language.

Trygga Familjehem supports, mentors, and trains

As a family home, you receive Trygga Familjehem's basic training for family homes. The purpose is to make the placement as good as possible for the placed individual and for the family home. Our consultants are always close by for ongoing mentoring and training for the family throughout the placement. Your family home consultant visits you regularly, and you have close cooperation on everything concerning the placed individual, e.g., implementation plans and authority contacts. You also have 24/7 telephone support for any questions. Trygga Familjehem's working and relational approach is to be accessible, provide support, help, ideas, and motivation!

Good financial compensation

Opening your home to a child, young person, or young adult is not about money, but about helping someone who needs a secure and stable life. However, you should still receive solid compensation for the work you do.

The compensation is paid in two parts: a cost allowance of approx. 6,500 SEK/month to cover food, clothes, travel, etc., and a fee component for the work you perform.

The fee varies from 26,000 SEK/month and upwards, depending on the complexity of the placement.
