Trygga Familjehem in Sweden AB is now seeking families/single individuals who want to help children & young people aged 0-20 years. We are looking for both family homes and emergency care homes.
Being an emergency care home or family home.
Being a family 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 lots of joy and heart, as well as a desire to share your life.
This is of course 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 task entails is very important. Of course, everyone is affected when a new individual moves in and becomes part of the family. NOTE: A single person can also be an emergency care home or family home.
The most important thing is that you have a genuine interest in helping a child/young person towards a better life. You must also be able to work with all actors around the placed child/young person such as school, social secretaries, family home consultants, etc.
To manage a placement, you need to have a bit extra of everything: space, time and ability! Our requirements for you to start a family home assessment include:
That you do not appear in the police's crime and suspect register, the social insurance agency's register regarding longer sick periods, the enforcement agency's register and the social register for the past five years
That there is an available 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 residence is permanent, meaning you do not rent from someone else, are a lodger or similar. The residence is fully furnished and lived-in.
That you are fully healthy 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 us family home consultants
That you do not have any major upcoming changes in your life, such as moving, longer trips, new studies, pregnancy or similar
That you master the Swedish language
Trygga Familjehem supports, guides and trains
As a family home, you will receive Trygga Familjehem's basic training for family homes. The aim is to make the placement as good as possible for the placed person and for the family 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 person, e.g. implementation plans and authority contacts. To help you, you have 24/7 telephone support for any questions. Trygga familjehem's approach is to be available, provide support, help, ideas and motivation!
Good financial compensation
Opening up 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 solid compensation for the work you do.
Compensation is paid in two parts: an expense allowance of approximately 6,500 kr/month to cover food, clothes, travel, etc., and a fee for the work you perform.
The fee ranges from 26,000 kr/month and up depending on the complexity of the placement.
