Trygga Familjehem i Sverige AB is now seeking families and individuals who want to help children and young people ages 0-20. We are looking for both family foster homes and emergency care providers.
Being a foster home or emergency care provider.
Being a family foster home 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 most importantly joy, heart, and a desire to share your life.
This is certainly a major challenge and requires a clear ambition to succeed. This ambition must be shared by all family members and a shared understanding of what the assignment entails is of great importance. Of course, everyone is affected when a new person moves in and becomes part of the family. NOTE that a single person can also be an emergency care or family foster provider.
The most important thing is that you have a genuine interest in helping a child/young person toward a better life. You must also be able to cooperate with all parties around the placed child/young person such as school, social workers, family home consultants, etc.
To manage a placement, you need a little extra of everything: space, time, and ability! Our requirements for you to begin a family home assessment include:
That you do not appear in the police crime and suspect register, the Social Insurance Agency's register regarding longer periods of illness, the Enforcement Authority's register, and the social register in the last five years
That there is an available bedroom that can be offered to the placed child, without anyone in the family giving up their own bedroom. Note that common areas do not count as bedrooms.
That your housing is permanent, meaning you do not rent from someone else, are a lodger, or similar. The home is fully furnished and decorated.
That you are in good health and able to work
That you have stable income and support
That at least one of you has time for meetings with social services and our family home consultants
That you do not have any major upcoming life changes, such as moving, longer trips, new studies, pregnancy, or similar
That you speak Swedish
Trygga Familjehem supports, guides and trains
As a family foster home, you will receive Trygga Familjehem's basic training for foster families. The aim is to make the placement as good as possible for the placed child and for the foster home. Our consultants are always close at hand 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, such as implementation plans and contacts with authorities. To assist you, you have 24/7 phone support for any questions. Trygga Familjehem's approach 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. However, you should still receive fair compensation for the work you do.
Compensation is paid in two parts: a reimbursement of approximately 6500 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 up depending on the complexity of the placement.
