Job Description

As a Family Home Consultant, your primary responsibility will be to assess foster homes and provide support and guidance to them during the placement period. You will be involved in the planning and implementation of training, lectures, and well-being days, and will participate in follow-up meetings and collaboration meetings related to the placements.

Your position is home-based, and a significant part of your work involves travel to visit the foster homes. Travel for physical meetings and supervision will also be included in the role. Your initial training and some work as a new employee will take place at our offices.

Your role is to work in close collaboration with foster homes and contribute to creating a positive development for the children and their families.

We are looking for a Family Home Consultant who will primarily work in the areas of Northern Scania, Kronoberg, Halland, and Blekinge, based from your home.

Do you match the profile?

You are passionate about social work, and your drive to make a difference in people's lives is clear and inspiring. As a person, you are adaptable and flexible, always ready to meet changes and have a positive attitude towards challenges. You are a master at communicating both verbally and in writing and thrive on building strong and rewarding relationships with clients, foster homes, and colleagues.

As a Family Home Consultant, it is important to be able to work independently, plan, set goals, and adhere to timeframes to ensure and streamline your work processes. The role requires order and structure, so we see that you are meticulous and methodical.

Furthermore, you are a sensitive and empathetic person who is comfortable providing continuous support and counseling, with a major focus on identifying suitable families who can provide the best care and support for the child.

• At least 2–4 years of experience working with supervision of foster homes
• Supervisor training
• Category B driver's license and access to a personal car are mandatory. Access to a company car/benefits car will be available in the long term.

Things you need to know

• Full-time, permanent position
• Start date according to agreement
• Car travel is frequent in the role, and you are home-based
• You have trust-based working hours, meaning you plan your own working time, while it is expected that you will dedicate some working hours to evenings and weekends based on the best interests of the operations
• We want your application as soon as possible as applications are handled on a rolling basis
