Foster Parent for Validia Family Care

Become a foster parent with Validia Family Care in Vantaa. Have you ever considered foster care? Could your home become a steady and caring place for a child in need? We are currently seeking foster parents for Validia Family Care in Vantaa. In foster care, a child becomes part of your family and lives ordinary daily life with you. As a foster parent you are genuinely present for the child in daily joys and sorrows, including challenging moments. The daily life may be meaningful and demanding, requiring long-term commitment, flexibility and the ability to meet the child where they are. The position is based on a commission agreement, which includes care allowance and expense compensation. Training (PRIDE pre-training or equivalent) is required; if the training is missing, it will be provided by Validia Family Care before the start. We will support you throughout the process and beyond, with mentoring, supervision, additional trainings and family days. If needed you will receive home help, and you will have holidays allowed by the Family Care Act. We hope you have a stable life situation and resources to commit to the child’s everyday life. We value readiness to work with the child’s relatives and other professionals and to learn new things. Suitable education or experience is a plus but not a prerequisite. A driving license is required and a background check on working with children will be performed.
