About Beteendevetarpoolen

Beteendevetarpoolen Sverige AB is a company specialized in recruiting, staffing, and leasing behavioral science competence to both public operations, organizations, and companies. We also offer consulting services within areas such as organizational psychology, working environment, change management, counseling support, conflict management, and HR-related issues.

With behavioral science as our foundation, we help operations develop their organizations and processes, as well as support both leaders and employees in meeting complex challenges. Our ambition is to contribute to sustainable changes where the human being, both in their individual and collective roles, stands at the center.

Since our launch in early 2025, we have established ourselves as a natural partner for operations seeking qualified behavioral science competence, and we are growing continuously.

We are now looking for new employees who want to shape the future of care, social services, and organizations at our clients, with support from us. This is a direct recruitment where you will be employed directly by Skyddsvärnet, but Beteendevetarpoolen Sverige AB is responsible for the recruitment process.

About the Role

Beteendevetarpoolen is now recruiting a driven and results-oriented Family Home Consultant who wants to contribute to the development of Skyddsvärnet's family home operations in Gävle and surrounding areas.

This is a remote-based position with a home office base, where you work independently but with close collaboration with the team and the client.

This is a unique opportunity for you who have experience in social work and a strong interest in business development, relationship-building work, and qualified family home work.

In the role, you are responsible for recruiting and investigating new family homes, as well as receiving and matching placement requests from clients. An important part of the job is also to build and develop collaborations with caseworkers within both social services and the prison and probation service, to map needs and demand in the area.

During ongoing placements, you work closely with the family homes through regular visits and continuous contact. You provide support based on the placed individual's specific needs, which may be related to, for example, crime, substance abuse, addiction, NPD diagnoses, honor-related violence, as well as care or protection needs.

As a Family Home Consultant, you work with Skyddsvärnet's family homes in and around Gävle, which means that travel within the region is a natural part of the role. The work is largely independent and requires good initiative-taking and responsibility. When you are not out on assignments, there is an opportunity to work remotely from any location.

The role involves mobile work where you thrive on being on the move, meeting people in person, and building long-term relationships. At the same time, you become part of an engaged team that collaborates closely despite geographical spread.
