Bureau Independent

Bureau Independent is a dedicated recruitment and placement agency specialising exclusively in the healthcare sector. The company brings together care institutions and healthcare professionals, including self-employed workers, temporary staff, and permanent employees. Bureau Independent matches qualified care professionals to the right positions, offering personal attention and collaborative problem-solving with clear, straightforward support tailored to each client's needs. The agency operates on a 'no cure, no pay' basis, meaning care institutions only pay for hours actually worked by their professionals.

Bureau Independent specialises across multiple healthcare sectors including elderly care (VVT), disability care, and mental health services (geestelijke gezondheidszorg). The company works with a comprehensive spectrum of care professionals, from care assistants and carers to nurses, healthcare assistants, occupational therapists, social workers, domestic support staff, medical assistants, and physicians. All professionals undergo thorough screening and hold appropriate qualifications to ensure care institutions receive only competent, vetted staff. The agency also offers internal positions in administration, account management, and placement coordination for those seeking non-clinical roles.

Operating from its central location in Vianen, Utrecht, Bureau Independent serves care institutions throughout the Netherlands. The company differentiates itself through its healthcare roots, enabling staff to speak 'care language' rather than corporate jargon and understand the practical realities and interpersonal dynamics of care work. Bureau Independent prioritises matching professionals not only by qualifications but also by cultural fit with each institution's values and working practices. The agency holds NBBU certification, ensuring compliance with Dutch employment legislation and the DBA (self-employed contractor law), whilst offering flexible, affordable solutions that maintain quality standards.
