JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
You will be part of a work team with 3 existing foster care secretaries and 3 social secretaries for the placed children/young people, plus one senior social secretary.
Your job responsibilities include:
• Recruiting new foster families through information, marketing, and meetings.
• Investigating families and assessing suitability.
• Matching children with the right foster families.
• Introducing families to the assignment and assisting with agreements.
• Maintaining administration and documentation.
QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for someone with a degree in social work.
To thrive in this role, you also need prior experience working with foster care within social services, for example as a foster care secretary, foster care consultant, or in another relevant professional role. You also need to be comfortable meeting children, youth, and adults in crisis, as well as being easy to work with in a team and collaborating with other stakeholders around the children.
Since documentation and administrative tasks are an important part of the position, you need to have experience with this. A driver's license (category B) is a requirement.
One of the cornerstones of this position is collaboration, so we are looking for someone with a positive attitude toward close teamwork with colleagues.

Navigating complex situations and being solution-oriented comes naturally to you. Your flexible approach allows you to adapt and direct your work according to current needs within the framework of applicable regulations.
The best interests of the child are always in focus for you. You support and guide the foster family to create a sustainable environment where everyone thrives and develops. We would like to see that you have an excellent ability to nurture and build relationships as well as communicate and collaborate effectively with others. Good treatment and clear communication are crucial, both towards clients, contractors, and colleagues. Personal suitability is of great importance to us; we want to see that you can clearly account for the competencies we are looking for in this position.
Selection is ongoing.
Employment type: Permanent employment.
Duration: Commencement date: By agreement.
