Our Divisions:

Service New Brunswick provides a wide range of services to the public, as well as to internal customers in government. The organization is grouped into divisions based on these services.
 

Corporate Services determines the overall direction for Service New Brunswick, setting and measuring organizational goals. This division focuses on strategy, policy, continuous improvement, and customer satisfaction. It also handles human resources and financial services, which include internal auditing, accounts payable and facilities management. Corporate Services may coordinate with other parts of government and departments as needed, but its customers are primarily internal as it facilitates corporate activities throughout SNB.

Strategic Procurement obtains the goods and services used throughout the Government of New Brunswick, by all departments, school districts, Regional Health Authorities, and more. This includes products such Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers, office supplies used in various government offices, and even construction materials and services. Staff in Strategic Procurement negotiate agreements for goods, handle the formal bidding process on major government contracts, and train government employees on the rules for purchasing various types of products.

Health Services supports the province’s healthcare system in several key areas. Clinical Engineering staff evaluate, maintain, and repair the complex medical devices used for patient treatment. Supply Chain is responsible for the purchasing, storage, delivery, and distribution of supplies used throughout the healthcare system. Laundry and Linen Services provides complete laundry services to many healthcare facilities and nursing homes, from pick-up of soiled linen to delivery of clean items.

Among these, it handles payroll and benefits for all government staff as well as cash transactions and payment processing. It manages a team of translators and interpreters to ensure government messages reach the widest possible audience and meet official language requirements. It also takes care of printing and postal distribution for all of government. Its customers are largely internal, but the division has a direct impact on residents by issuing Social Insurance payments and sending out government mail. The division also serves the public indirectly by helping other departments implement programs such as rebates.

The Residential Tenancies Tribunal, which mediates residential tenancy disputes and acts as a trustee for lease deposits, also falls under Public Services.

This information is compiled for clients in other government departments, where it’s used to determine property taxes.
