About Us

Founded in 1960, the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB) is one of the largest and most comprehensive non-profit agencies in Ottawa and a registered charity. It provides mental health services, employment programs, emergency shelter, community, health and housing services, and justice programs to youth in the Ottawa area, serving between 2,500 and 3,000 at‑risk individuals aged 12+ and their families every month. YSB employs 350 caring professionals in a unionized environment in over 26 locations across Ottawa.

YSB’s Youth Justice Programs work to help youth in conflict with the law make a positive transition back into the community. The William E. Hay Centre is a 32-bed residential facility serving male youth in secure detention (pre-trial) and secure custody (post-trial). The centre provides educational options and life skills training to give youth the knowledge and practical skills they need in everyday life. We offer residences, education, training, counselling, and support services to help youth accept responsibility for past actions and make plans for the future.

As a member of the multi-disciplinary team within Youth Justice Services, the Nurse Practitioner will provide oversight and direct clinical nursing services to the youth within the program as an independent contractor.
