Care Control Manager

In this role, you will lead two experienced teams that are fully committed to ensuring that our care records are accurate and meaningful. Together, you will ensure that our records meet all current requirements of the various funding programs, such as those under the Youth Act, WMO, WLZ, ZVW, FZ, etc. In doing so, you will also ensure that this reliable information is available to support practitioners in providing quality care.

You’ll work closely with colleagues in clinical care, Finance & Control, Planning & Control, and healthcare administration. You’ll contribute ideas for smart processes, identify risks, develop control measures, and ensure they’re effectively implemented throughout the organization. You’ll translate the insights you gain into policies that work in practice—and that will help Arkin stay future-proof.

As a manager, you are visible and approachable. You foster a culture of learning, openness, and professionalism, encouraging your employees to look beyond the rules. You guide them in maintaining the integrity of our control framework and involve them in the changes needed to remain agile.

You also play a key role with external funders. In discussions with health insurers, you are the one responsible for data reporting practices and coordinating data quality. You know where opportunities lie and ensure that Arkin remains committed to fulfilling all agreements.

What makes this position special?

You are at the very heart of both patient care and operational management. You provide reports and insights that make a difference, advise management and senior leadership, and lead projects that directly impact how we deliver care. You combine analytical skills with people-centered leadership, strategy with execution, and always stay focused on the bigger picture: providing clients with the best possible care.
