About the role
As a family home assessor, you are responsible for assessing and evaluating families who want to open their homes to children and young people as foster families and emergency care providers. You ensure that the right families enter the organization: work that requires thoroughness, good judgment, and respectful treatment throughout the process.
Your main responsibilities:
Plan and conduct family home assessments, often according to Kälvesten or BRA-fam depending on the assignment
Meet with families through in-depth interviews and home visits
Obtain and review register excerpts, references, and other documentation
Compile well-substantiated assessments and written evaluations
Work according to established procedures, guidelines, and timelines
Contribute to the quality of the organization and development of assessment work
We are looking for someone who has
Relevant higher education of at least 180 credits, such as social worker, behavioral scientist, or social pedagogue
Experience assessing and evaluating foster families
Experience in social work, preferably with children, young people, or families
Very strong written communication skills and experience working systematically with documentation and assessments
Ability to work independently and make professional, well-reasoned decisions
Class B driver's license and good driving skills, as travel and home visits are part of the position
Meritorious qualifications include training in established assessment methods such as Kälvesten and BRA-fam.
Your personal qualities
We place great emphasis on personal suitability and would like to see that you are:
Structured, methodical, and thorough: you enjoy doing careful work
Socially confident with strong communication skills and the ability to build trust
Independent and confident in your professional role
Goal-oriented, responsible, and solution-focused
Responsive and professional in interactions with people in different life situations
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys assessment work and sees it as a craft rather than a burden, and who is motivated by laying the foundation for placements that last over time.
What we offer
A secure full-time position based at our office in Örgryte
A specialized assessment role without responsibility for ongoing foster family support – you get to focus on what you do best
Clear work processes and support in your work
A meaningful assignment where your efforts make a real difference for children and young people
Why Hemnovia?
With us, you become part of an organization that works with heart and for the child's best interests.
