**The Opportunity**:
**_ Provincial Preschool Autism Services_**
- The Provincial Preschool Autism Service (PPAS) is a partnership between IWK Health (IWK), Nova Scotia Health (NSH), Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia (HSNS) and Autism Nova Scotia (Autism NS). Based upon an extensive review and engagement, autism services in Nova Scotia are in the process of transitioning to a needs-based model responsive to the individual needs of children and their families. It will provide person and family-centred services to preschoolers across Nova Scotia who are suspected of or have a diagnosis of autism. The new and enhanced services will include a greater number and range of interventions and supports available for children and families. Examples include autism clinical intake and care coordination, family and health professional education, diagnostic assessments, QuickStart parent coaching toddler program, a 12-month intensive intervention for children with the greatest social communication and behaviour needs, autism interventions by interprofessional teams, and transition to school. The intent is to create an efficient, sustainable, and integrated continuum of health services for preschool age children with autism where services and supports are matched to the needs of children and their families. The Provincial Preschool Autism Service will provide oversight for policy, standards, and the service model for preschool and school-age autism diagnostic assessments._

Reporting to the assigned PPAS manager, the Clinical Leader is responsible for providing clinical leadership, supervision, and support to autism diagnostic services, including staff and all diagnostician partners, for both preschool and school-age autism diagnostics. Along with providing clinical leadership, the incumbent will provide direct clinical care to clients, and their families to maintain clinical practice and knowledge through the completion of autism assessments. The Clinical Leader provides leadership for standards, staff education / training, coaching and professional development for clinicians and is dedicated to advancing evidence-based practice and knowledge translation within the autism diagnostic service stream. The Clinical Leader works closely with other clinical leaders across service streams (i.e., clinical intake and care coordination, interventions) to coordinate access to services. The Clinical Leader also works with team members to identify and meet the learning needs of both newly hired clinicians and PPAS clinicians where practice may be changing due to new operational requirements or implementation of new or changing evidence-based practices. This includes partnerships, where appropriate, to ensure standards, competencies, and quality for the completion of diagnostic assessments by all providers.

The Clinical Leader will work in collaboration with IWK PPAS Clinical Intake and Care Coordination team and with system partners (i.e., Nova Scotia Health) to achieve a provincial systems approach for timely and equitable access to autism diagnostic assessment for children and youth. The clinical leader will provide leadership for multiple provincial strategies, projects, and initiatives to expand the health system’s capacity to do assessments while ensuring high quality, evidence-based services are provided to children and their families.

The Clinical Leader is one of a team of Clinical Leaders that works collaboratively with other members of the leadership team to ensure both the clinical and operational requirements of the Provincial Preschool Autism Service are met. This position ensures the quality of service within the assigned stream meets service standards at a provincial level.
