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). PPAS is a needs-based model responsive to the individual needs of children and their families. Providing 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, an intensive service for children with the greatest social communication and behaviour needs, autism interventions, 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.

Intensive Service

The Intensive Service is a Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural intervention (NDBI) designed to help children develop important skills in their everyday environments. The focus is on skills including social communication, play and peer relationships, social skills, behaviour and participation in daily routines, and self-care skills. It focuses on family-led goals and uses natural learning opportunities to build skills through child-led play, routines and social interactions and is a graduated service delivery model with the delivery of up to 15 hours per week for the first 6 months. The intervention approach utilizes principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis and current understanding of child development.

Key interventions provided through the intensive services includes:

Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) – teaching through natural interactions, using a child’s interests to encourage learning.
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) – provides strategies to help reduce behaviours of concern, teach the child ways to manage their emotions and participate in daily routines.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) – learning to use low-tech or high-tech (e.g., using pictures such as with the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) or Speech Generating Devices (SGD) to communicate.

The team through motivational communication supports each family to determine unique priorities, and tailors coaching and strategies to meet co-created goals for the child. Parent and caregiver involvement is key to ensure that priority areas of their child’s development and learning are addressed, and that they are provided with coaching in relevant strategies so that the child’s skills are generalized across environments and routines. This further supports parents/caregivers in understanding what types and how to determine strategies that work best with their child.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the assigned PPAS manager, the Clinical Leader is a provincial role responsible for providing clinical leadership, supervision, and support to the PPAS staff in the assigned Intensive Service stream according to the provincial standards for the service. Along with providing clinical leadership, the incumbent will provide direct clinical care to clients within the service stream, and their families to maintain clinical practice and knowledge. In collaboration with PPAS co-leadership and the Autism Advanced Practice Leader (AAPL), the Clinical Leader role provides leadership for the Intensive Service clinical framework, staff education / training, coaching and professional development for clinicians and is dedicated to advancing evidence-based practice and knowledge translation within the intensive service stream. The Clinical Leader works closely with Autism Educators and Provincial Trainers 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 for all intensive service providers.

The Clinical Leader is part of a team of clinical leaders and will work in collaboration with PPAS Leadership, IWK PPAS Clinical Intake, other clinical leaders of PPAS service streams, and with system partners (i.e., Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia) to achieve a provincial systems approach for timely and equitable access to the intensive service stream.

About the Opportunity

Nova Scotia Health is actively working to hire internationally educated health care professionals, Radiation Therapy, Radiological Technologists, CT Technologists, MRI Technologists, and Nuclear Medicine Technologists, across the province. The Technologist performs a variety of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures requiring the use of ionizing radiation, applying the ALARA principle, while continuously remaining responsive to and responsible for each patient in their care.

Note to international health care professionals: Nova Scotia Health is not working with any international recruitment agency or person offering expedited licensing or employment pathway into Nova Scotia Health for an additional fee. Please know that you are working directly with us and there are no charges or fees to be paid to any external agencies or person.

Licensure of Internationally Educated Medical Imaging or Radiation Therapy Professionals

The Nova Scotia College of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professionals (NSCMIRTP) is the regulatory body for medical radiation technologists (MRTs) and diagnostic medical sonographers in Nova Scotia. Recently, NSCMIRTP introduced a new, streamlined approach to the assessment and registration process for internationally educated medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals (IEMIRTPs), providing a faster and more predictable pathway to licensure in Nova Scotia.

To work as a medical imaging or radiation therapy professional (MIRTP) in Nova Scotia, individuals who have completed an educational program in medical imaging or radiation therapy outside of Canada must be registered with NSCMIRTP. The registration process for IEMIRTPs differs from that for Canadian-educated applicants, as their education and skills must be assessed to ensure they meet the entrance-to-practice standards set in Canada.

For more information about the expedited licensure process for applicants from seven designated countries, and to apply, please visit the NSCMIRTP website.

To learn more about Nova Scotia's International Community of Healthcare Worker's Program (NICHE2) please visit here: NICHE2

Important Note: The document assessment process can begin before arriving in Canada. Applicants can start the assessment process from anywhere in the world, which can shorten the time between arrival in Canada and licensure as a MIRTP. National exams are available through virtual proctoring, allowing IEMIRTPs to take the exams from outside Canada. For any questions related to the application process, please contact info@nscmirtp.ca.

Hours

Shifts may include days, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays.
You will be given the opportunity to specify your work hours and location preferences in the application.

People build careers with IWK Health with our focus on training and mentorship opportunities. We recognize each other’s talent and celebrate our successes. We collaborate in modern facilities or virtually from home, align our work to our values, and enjoy access to enhanced benefits and wellness programs. We are proud to support our patients, families, and communities and are grateful for the generous donor support we receive.

Promoting an anti-racist environment and calling out discrimination as we work and provide care is important to us.

We have the highest percentage of people with disabilities in the country. Nova Scotia has the highest proportion of transgender and non-binary people of any other province or territory in the country. We are active in our work to eliminate discrimination, but we have more work to do to build that trust, acknowledge our biases, and reduce the barriers our diverse communities face. We want IWK Health to be a safe and supportive space of equity and belonging in the care we provide and the employment we offer. We welcome all interested persons who self-identify as Indigenous, Black/African Nova Scotians, Persons of Colour, Immigrants/Newcomers, Persons with Disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ to apply to support our goal for our workforce to be representative of the patients, families, and communities that we care for at all job levels.
