Trygga Familjehem i Sverige AB is now seeking families/single individuals who want to help children & youth ages 0-20. 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 daily life, and offering security, guidelines, rules, and most importantly lots of joy and heart, plus a desire to share your life.
This is of course a major challenge and requires a clear commitment to success. This commitment must be shared by all family members, and agreement on what the task entails is very important. It's natural that everyone is affected when a new person moves in and becomes part of the family. NOTE: A single person can also be an emergency care home or family home.
Most importantly, you must have a genuine interest in helping a child/youth toward a better life. You must also be able to collaborate with all parties around the placed child/youth, such as school, social workers, family home consultants, etc.
To successfully 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 suspicion register, the social security office register regarding longer sick leave periods, the enforcement office register, or the social register in the past five years
That there is an available bedroom that can be offered to the placed child, without anyone in the family having to give up their bedroom. Note that shared spaces do not count as bedrooms.
That your home is permanent, meaning you do not sublet, are a lodger, or similar. The home is fully furnished and occupied.
That you are in full 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 us family home consultants
That you do not have any major upcoming life changes, such as moving, extended 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 purpose 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, and you have close collaboration in everything concerning the placed person, such as implementation plans and authority contacts. To help you, you have 24-hour support by phone 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, youth, 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: an expense reimbursement of approximately 6,500 kr/month to cover food, clothing, transportation, etc., plus a fee for the work you perform.
The fee varies from 26,000 kr/month and upward depending on the complexity of the placement.
