Trygga Familjehem i Sverige 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 a family home or emergency care home.
Being a family home is interesting, challenging, and above all rewarding! It involves opening the doors to your home, your family, your daily life, and offering safety, guidelines, rules, and most importantly, a great deal of joy and heart, as well as a willingness to share your life.
This naturally represents a significant challenge and requires a clear commitment to succeed. This commitment must be shared by all family members, and a shared understanding of what the assignment entails is of great importance. It is natural that 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 or family home.
What matters most is that you have a genuine interest in helping a child/young person build a better life. You must also be able to collaborate with all parties involved around the placed child/young person, such as school, social workers, family home consultants, and others.
To manage a placement, you need to have a bit extra of everything: space, time, and ability! Our requirements for you to begin a family home assessment include the following:
That you do not appear in the police's crime and suspicion register, the social insurance agency's register regarding extended sick leave periods, the enforcement authority's register, and the social register for the past five years
That there is a spare bedroom that can be offered to the placed child, without anyone in the family having to give up their own bedroom. Note that shared spaces do not count as bedrooms.
That your housing is permanent, meaning you are not subletting, boarding with others, or similar. The residence is fully furnished and habitable.
That you are in good health and able to work
That you have stable income and financial 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, extended travel, new studies, pregnancy, or similar
That you speak Swedish fluently
Trygga Familjehem supports, guides, and trains
As a family home, you will receive Trygga Familjehem's basic training for family homes. The goal is to make the placement as positive as possible for both the placed individual and the family home. Our consultants are always nearby for ongoing guidance and training to the family during the placement. Your family home consultant will visit you regularly, and you will have close collaboration in everything concerning the placed individual, such as implementation plans and authority contacts. You will have 24/7 telephone support for any questions that may arise. Trygga Familjehem's approach and method 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 receive fair compensation for the work you do.
Compensation is paid in two parts: a cost reimbursement of approximately 6,500 kr/month to cover food, clothing, travel, etc., and a work fee.
The work fee varies from 26,000 kr/month and upward depending on the complexity of the placement.
