Bureau VolZin

What Bureau VolZin does

Bureau VolZin (legal entity: Bureau Volzin BV) is a privately held Dutch reintegration and coaching bureau founded in Rotterdam in 2005 and recognized by UWV as a certified re-integration service provider since 2006. The company provides reintegration, sustainable employability, and career coaching services to individuals and organizations across the Netherlands, operating from 11 office locations. Its core service portfolio spans three segments: (1) reintegration (first-track return to own employer, second-track placement with a new employer, and UWV/municipality-funded trajectories such as Werkfit, Naar werk, and modular reintegration); (2) job coaching and career coaching (loopbaancoaching, outplacement, job coaching); and (3) sustainable employability (duurzame inzetbaarheid), including workplace research, ergonomic advice by occupational therapists, and individual coaching.

The company differentiates itself through a specialist team with paramedical backgrounds—ergotherapy, physiotherapy, applied psychology—which enables a holistic clinical approach to reintegration beyond standard job placement. Bureau VolZin does not use a proprietary technology platform; the service is entirely human-delivered, with coaches also visiting clients at home or in workplaces. Specialized add-on programs include the 'Vol in Beweging' fitness program delivered in partnership with medical sports centers, and the 'De Class' program for young people with non-congenital brain injury in partnership with Hersenstichting. Clinical referral partnerships with Reade (rehabilitation and rheumatology) and Daan Theeuwes Centrum (neuro-rehabilitation) serve as key client acquisition channels.

Bureau VolZin generates revenue through three professional services streams: UWV contracts for WIA, Wajong, Ziektewet, and WW benefit recipients; municipality contracts under the Participatiewet (Participation Act) for social assistance recipients; and direct employer contracts for Wet verbetering poortwachter (Gatekeeper Improvement Act) compliance, outplacement, and sustainable employability services. Pricing is per-traject and not publicly disclosed; clients are offered free introductory consultations. The company holds Blik op Werk Keurmerk certification, OVAL membership, and Rapasso data security certification. Leadership consists of Natascha van Schaardenburgh as Directeur. No funding rounds, no parent company, and no M&A activity are disclosed.
