Specialized Educator - Maison d'Accueil Parenté

🏡 Context

The Parenté Foster Home is a home for single-parent families. This is part of the non-profit organisation Les Petits Riens, which also owns the Prévôt men's home in Ixelles and the young men's home @ home 18-24.

The Parenté house is located in the municipality of Anderlecht. The service is approved and subsidised by the COCOF of the Brussels-Capital Region, which offers accommodation, accommodation (individual apartment/studio) and support to the whole family who, as a result of a combination of various factors, are temporarily homeless.

In a crisis situation, the first need is to be able to settle down, rest and get back on your feet. Safe and soothing living conditions for the family will allow them to feel ready to rebuild "an after" and to find permanent housing. The reception house wishes to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the family as well as to its development while it stabilizes.

The multidisciplinary team is made up of specialized educators, social workers, a psychologist, a post-accommodation follow-up manager and the management. The team is dynamic and committed.
