Bureau Vooruit

Bureau Vooruit is a bemiddelingsbureau for zorg en welzijn, the Dutch care and welfare sector, and states its expertise simply as putting the right zorgprofessional in the right place. It describes itself as de verbindende schakel, the connecting link between zorginstellingen and qualified care professionals. The company frames the sector's problem as keeping care running 24 hours a day, seven days a week while at the same time working on the personnel shortage, and says it works intensively every day with its own pool of professionals to answer the care demand of today, tomorrow and the future. It says it sees no obstacles but opportunities, looks ahead, and takes the burden off care organisations.

The company offers three services to client organisations in healthcare and welfare. Bemiddeling places qualified care professionals and fills ad hoc shifts immediately without loss of quality. Detachering is for clients who want a broader and longer relationship, where Bureau Vooruit professionals can be taken straight into the client's own planning. Werving en Selectie is permanent recruitment and selection, which the company takes out of the client's hands and where it says its experience safeguards the quality the client expects. Its whole offer is aimed at zorginstellingen, and it invites organisations to register as an opdrachtgever.

For care professionals, Bureau Vooruit turns the sector's own question around: caring for others is done with the heart, but who cares for the carer. It offers a contribution to the professional's development, the chance to get to know new organisations and projects, and the possibility of moving forward in a job while enjoying freedom, with a fixed point of contact always available. The values it publishes are samen, betrokken, persoonlijk en bereikbaar, and it puts particular weight on samen, on the grounds that together everyone gets further.
