About The Position

Early Intervention Service Coordinators (EISCs) are the heart of Early Intervention! They provide service coordination for children in the NC Infant-Toddler Program and support to their families and caregivers. Research shows that birth to three is a critical period for working with families to support their competence and confidence as their child’s first and most important teacher. The birth-to-three period offers a window of opportunity to make a positive difference in how a child develops and learns. EISCs typically have the flexibility of telework and a hybrid workplace. The Division of Child and Family Well-Being works to promote healthy and thriving children in safe, stable and nurturing families, schools and communities. The division includes complementary programs that primarily serve children and youth to improve their health and well-being. The State of North Carolina offers excellent comprehensive benefits. Employees can participate in health insurance options, standard and supplemental retirement plans, and the NCFlex program (numerous high-quality, low-cost benefits on a pre-tax basis). Employees also receive paid vacation, sick, and community service leave. In addition, paid parental leave is available to eligible employees.
