Sociaal Kernteam Westland

What Sociaal Kernteam Westland does

Sociaal Kernteam Westland (SKT) is a government-owned private limited company (overheids-BV) founded in 2015 and headquartered in 's-Gravenzande, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. It operates under an exclusive mandate from Gemeente Westland to provide integrated social support services for youth and adults across the Westland municipality. The organization employs approximately 120 professionals organized into three regional teams (Wateringen, Naaldwijk, 's-Gravenzande), a bureau service for triage and intake, and a business bureau for administration and HR. Each client is assigned a dedicated care coordinator (zorgregisseur) who conducts home visits, develops a personalized action plan, and connects the client with appropriate specialist care providers such as GPs, schools, housing corporations, and welfare organizations.

The core product is the zorgregisseur-based care coordination service, supplemented by an e-health platform (Minddistrict) that delivers online self-help modules and digital account access in Dutch, English, and Polish. The technology stack is deliberately light: it relies on a third-party e-health vendor (Minddistrict), a Flextender procurement platform for occasional external hiring, and integration with the municipality's 140174 contact center and case management systems. The website holds a WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility statement, signaling compliance posture but no proprietary digital product development.

SKT Westland is fully publicly funded through Gemeente Westland, meaning all services are free to Westland residents and there is no direct revenue from end users. The go-to-market is community- and referral-led, channeled through the municipal contact center, schools, GPs, housing corporations, police, welfare partners, and proactive community engagement such as SKT Talks. Governance follows the Dutch Healthcare Governance Code (Zorgbrede Governancecode), with statutory director Pieter Houwers and a four-person Supervisory Board chaired by Bas van der Velde. The organization celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2025 and presents itself as a mature professional field transitioning from pioneering work to an established discipline.
