**The Opportunity**:
**Provincial Preschool Autism Service**

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 NS 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.

Reporting to the Manager, Provincial Preschool Autism Services, the Social Worker works as a member of the autism provincial intake and care coordination team to provide services to children and their families across Nova Scotia. The Social Worker works in collaboration with a team of preschool autism resource coordinators and with clinical teams across the province to support children and families to build their capacity to identify and engage in accomplishing their goals; provide services and navigation within the health care setting as well as in the community; provide psychosocial and family system assessments; provide care coordination and case management support to families; supports families in navigating and accessing services; and provides information and referrals to other team members and services. The Social Worker also builds professional relationships with collaborating agencies and community partners; participates in committees and initiatives to support and evaluate the services offered to individuals, participates in quality improvement activities, and encourages an integrated, needs-based equitable model of care and support.

The position is provincial in scope: the social worker will support families in all zones and will have responsibility to have broad understanding of clinical and community-based services and supports across the province (all health zones) to support navigation to local resources and care coordination functions. Principles of equity, diversity, inclusivity, anti-racism, and reconciliation will be required to be embedded within the work of the Social Worker to ensure all families have equitable access to culturally safe and inclusive services. The incumbent must have strong communication and relationship building skills to build relationships with families, clinical teams, and partners.
