What Werken bij iHub does

iHub (legally Stichting iHUB Groep) is a Dutch non-profit foundation formed in 2014 through the merger of four predecessor organizations — Horizon, Altra, Opvoedpoli and De Nieuwe Kans — operating in youth care, specialized education, and youth mental health care (Jeugd-GGZ). The organization employs approximately 3,000 professionals across roughly 30 locations in the Netherlands, primarily concentrated in Zuid-Holland and Noord-Holland (Rotterdam, Den Haag, Alphen aan den Rijn, Nieuwegein, Zoetermeer and others), delivering an integrated portfolio that combines residential youth care (including JeugdzorgPlus and foster care), ambulant family support (pleegzorg), youth diagnostics and treatment under the Basis GGZ/SGGZ system, and specialized primary and secondary education (VSO, cluster 4, praktijkonderwijs) through sub-brands such as Schreuder College, Bergse Bos/Bergse Veld School, School2Care, Schats School, Gelinckschool, Rijnstroom College and Schakenbosch Onderwijs & Werk.

The organization's core delivery model is its proprietary "Gezin Totaal" methodology, which combines residential group care for youth with ambulant family support for parents in their home environment, alongside the School2Care concept that colocates specialized education and youth care under one physical roof. Pedagogical differentiation rests on the Positive Behavior Support (PBS) framework used across Schreuder College locations. There is no consumer-facing technology platform; the technical footprint is administrative and recruitment-oriented, centered on a Craft CMS careers website (werkenbijihub.nl) with CSRF tokens, SSL-secured applicant portal, and standard integrations for marketing analytics (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Ads Remarketing) and email automation (Mailblue/ActiveCampaign).

iHub's revenue model is entirely publicly funded under the Dutch welfare state architecture: (1) Jeugdwet-funded youth care and family services contracted by municipalities, (2) government-financed specialized education under cao Primair Onderwijs salary scales, and (3) GGZ-reimbursed diagnostic and treatment services under cao GGZ scales. The organization is not listed, has no disclosed shareholders, operates as a Stichting (foundation) governance structure, and discloses no revenue, ARR or financial KPIs on its website. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through referral pathways from municipalities, schools, huisartsen (GPs) and jeugdartsen, rather than commercial sales.
