**The 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 behavior 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 Opportunity**:
The Access Navigator (Preschool Autism Resource Coordinator) is part of a team in the Clinical Intake & Care Coordination stream of service and the single point of contact for clients and families and service providers at the point of referral. Reporting to the assigned PPAS manager and supervised by the Clinical Leader, Clinical Intake and Care Coordination, the Access Navigator (Preschool Autism Resource Coordinator) is responsible for:

- Being the first point of contact for families contacting PPAS
- Exploring child and family needs upon entry into PPAS and in reviewing their goals/priorities as children and family needs change.
- Assisting in matching child/family needs with the services available in PPAS. There is an on-going interaction with the clinicians and administrative staff in PPAS foundational education, intervention, and diagnostic streams of service to support a coordinated continuum of care and with community-based organizations, partners, and clinicians involved in providing autism services to children and families.
- Keeping timely and accurate records of navigation and coordination activities for the purpose of team communication and care coordination
- Developing and maintaining a professional relationship with families throughout their preschool years and supporting the transition to school process.
- Supporting access to school-age diagnostic services as appropriate
- Participating in planning, development, and ongoing evaluation/quality improvement.

This position ensures that clients/families, partners and referring and community providers experience a respectful and consistently high quality of service as children enter and navigate through and within PPAS. The position supporting Clinical Intake is critical to create and maintain client/family, provider and public confidence in PPAS intent, processes and integrity. Principles of equity, diversity, inclusivity, anti-racism, and reconciliation will be required to be embedded within the work of Access Navigators (Preschool Autism Resource Coordinators) to ensure all families have equitable access to culturally safe and inclusive services. The incumbent must have strong communication and re
