Role description and task arrangements
Assignment Description
In the Southeast Utrecht (ZOU) region, five municipalities are working closely together in the areas of Youth, Social Support Act (Wmo), and Participation.We have also been working together in the region since 2023 on the Integral Care Agreement (IZA) and the Healthy and Active Living Agreement (GALA), implementing various projects and chain approaches. In September 2025, the Supplementary Care and Welfare Agreement (AZWA) was concluded, which broadens the scope of the IZA and will run until 2028.
The AZWA focuses on the following areas of life: mental health, healthy aging, growing up with opportunities for a healthy lifestyle, and reducing/preventing health inequalities. For each area of life, there are so-called basic functionalities (chain approaches), such as Promising Start, Social Referral, Tackling Overweight & Obesity in Adults, Fall Prevention for the Elderly andAccessible Support Centers.
To make this a success, municipalities need to provide a range of accessible facilities: a basic infrastructure. Municipalities work together with the Municipal Health Service (GGD), Youth Health Care (JGZ), social services, primary care providers, mental health services (GGZ), and informal care providers.
The above-mentioned development calls for a strengthening of regional control over the basic functionalities of AZWA/GALA chain approaches, in conjunction with other municipal tasks in the field of prevention and health promotion. In particular, this also involves coordination with the regional procurement policy, with the aim of making the transition to normal life within the social domain.
