Utrechtzorg

What Utrechtzorg does

Utrechtzorg is a regional employers' organization (werkgeversorganisatie) for the healthcare and welfare sector in Midden-Nederland, connecting more than 80 member organizations across three regions (Utrecht, Amersfoort-Eemland, Gooi en Vecht) and nine branches including hospitals, mental health, elderly care, disability care, youth care, public health, and social services. The organization is part of the national RegioPlus federation and operates from Houten, Netherlands. Its core product is Jouwzorgbaan.nl, a regional career platform featuring skills-based matching that connects job seekers to employers based on competencies rather than formal qualifications, supplemented by two vertical-specific portals (Jouwbaanmetouderen.nl for ten elderly care employers and Jouwziekenhuisbaan.nl for five regional hospitals) and the Ik Zorg Shop physical storefront in Utrecht.

Underlying technology combines a skills-based matching engine, VR-based orientation and learning tools, AI-themed learning applications delivered through the Lerend Netwerk AI, and the RoosterBooster scheduling optimization solution for district nursing. Other modules include the MIRA Innovatiescan innovation-readiness assessment, the Ontregel de Zorg administrative-burden initiative, and learning networks addressing generational diversity and demonstrable employability.

The business model is membership-based: healthcare and welfare organizations pay recurring dues to participate in the network, access shared recruitment platforms, and engage with collective learning and innovation initiatives. Go-to-market is network-led, relying on direct outreach to prospective member organizations, regional events, and collaboration with adjacent bodies such as RegioPlus, IVVU, VGU, and Actie Leer Netwerk.

Product overview

Utrechtzorg is a regional employers' organization for healthcare and welfare in Central Netherlands (Midden-Nederland), operating as part of the national RegioPlus network.

Supporting modules include the MIRA innovation assessment tool, RoosterBooster scheduling solution, VR-based orientation tools, and skills-based matching capabilities. Collaborative learning networks (AI, Generations, Bekwaam is Inzetbaar) and the Ontregel de Zorg initiative address workforce development and administrative burden reduction. The organization connects over 80 healthcare and welfare employers across Utrecht, Amersfoort-Eemland, and Gooi en Vecht regions.
