Making changes to template-tags.php using child theme

Hi,

I have created a child theme for jobroller and everything is working correctly. However I want to make changes to the function 'the_jr_logo' (line 592) in the file \jobroller\includes\template-tags.php. I have tried copying that file to the same folder in my child theme but the changes I've made don't work, it seems like the parent theme file is always used. I tested the same changes in the jobroller parent theme template-tags.php file which work correctly (so I know my changes test okay), but I don't want to make changes to the core files and would prefer to use my child theme. Could I please get some advise on how I can do this?

I also tried adding the 'the_jr_logo' function to my child theme functions.php file but then I couldn't access my website at all.

Thanks,
Darren
