Trygga Familjehem i Sverige AB is now seeking families/single individuals who want to help children & young people aged 0-20. We are looking for both foster families and emergency care homes.
Being a foster family or emergency care home.
Being a foster family is interesting, challenging and above all rewarding! It's about opening the doors to your home, your family, your everyday life and offering security, guidelines, rules and above all a lot of joy and heart as well as a desire to share your life.
Of course, this entails a major challenge and requires a clear ambition to succeed. This ambition must be shared by all family members and consensus about what the assignment entails is very important. Of course, everyone is affected when a new individual moves in and becomes part of the family. NOTE that a single person can also be an emergency care home or foster family.
Most importantly, you have a genuine interest in helping a child/young person build a better life. You must also be able to cooperate with all parties around the placed child/young person such as school, social worker, family home consultants, etc.
To manage a placement, you need to have a little extra of everything; space, time and ability! Our requirements for you to begin a foster family assessment include:
That you do not appear in the police's criminal and suspect register, the social insurance office's register regarding longer sick leave, the enforcement authority's register and the social register in the past five years
That there is a spare bedroom that can be offered to the placed child, without anyone in the family giving up their bedroom. Note that common areas do not count as bedrooms.
That your housing is permanent, i.e. you are not subletting, a lodger or similar. The accommodation is fully furnished and renovated.
That you are in full health and able to work
That you have stable income and livelihood
That at least one of you has time for meetings with social services and us family home consultants
That you don't have any major upcoming changes in your life, such as moving, extended travel, new studies, pregnancy or similar
That you speak Swedish
Trygga Familjehem supports, guides and trains
As a foster family, you will receive Trygga Familjehem's basic training for foster families. The aim is to make the placement as good as possible for both the placed child and the foster family. Our consultants are always nearby for ongoing guidance and training to the family during the placement. Your family home consultant visits you regularly, you have close cooperation in everything concerning the placed child, e.g. implementation plans and authority contacts. To help you, you have 24-hour support by phone for any question. Trygga Familjehem's approach and manner is to be available, 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 safe and stable life. But you should still receive fair compensation for the work you do.
Compensation is paid in two parts, partly a cost reimbursement of approximately 6,500 kr/month to cover food, clothing, travel etc, and a fee for the work you perform.
The fee varies from 26,000 kr/month and upwards depending on the complexity of the placement.
