**Reports To**: Manager, Youth and Young Adult Services

**Job Status**: 1 -Year Full-Time Term Position

**Starting Rate of Pay**: $26.99/hour (37.5 hours per week)

**Summary of CHEO Extensive Needs Service**

The Extensive Needs Service is simplifying access to the right care for families of children and youth living with multiple medical, social, physical and developmental healthcare needs. This is an exciting opportunity to better serve children, youth and their families. The program is currently being developed with our partners and families. There isn’t another program like it in Canada.

Families participating in the program connect to a team of professionals who work together to provide tailored support based on the individual needs of the child or youth and their families. Services can include personalized behaviour support plans, mental health assessments and treatment, counselling for parents and caregivers, medication adjustment, and specialized interventions to support children and youth to build skills such as communication and self-regulation.

For each child or youth, admission into this service begins with an integrated medical, behavioural and social assessment followed by (as needed):

- Medication management (psychopharmacology)
- Specialized behaviour services
- Mental health assessment and treatment (psychology, psychiatry)
- Social supports (e.g. social work, including counselling for parents)
- Collaboration with specialized health care clinics
- Respite
- Coordinated service planning
- Transition support (return to school, return to community core services, transition to adult services)

The program aims to serve - children or youth aged 0 to 17 years, with multiple medical, neurodevelopmental, and mental health needs, who have received or are receiving services across multiple sectors but whose needs are still not met, with challenging or interfering behaviours that impact safety (of self or others) and pose a barrier to participation in school or family life.

One of the unique things about this program is the many disciplines working together to deliver the care needed. The team includes the following roles: Behaviour Analyst, Child and Youth Counsellor, Dietitian, Family Resource Worker, Family partners, Community partners, Instructor Therapist, Intake Worker, Mental Health and Addictions RN, Nurse Practitioner, Occupational Therapist, Pediatrician, Patient Service Clerk, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Respite Worker, Service Planning Coordinator, Speech Language Pathologist, and Social Worker.
