Deputy Public Guardians manage the income and assets and coordinate the care, including the arrangement of placement and treatment, of elderly and gravely disabled persons under the jurisdiction of the Public Guardian as appointed by the Superior Court.  Deputy Public Guardians visit clients on a regular basis, which includes travel to various locations both within and outside of San Mateo County.
 
The current vacancy is in the LPS (Lanterman Petris Short Act) conservatorship unit; however, this recruitment may be used to fill vacancies in either Probate or the LPS conservatorship unit.
 
DPG II is at the journey level with responsibility for managing estates and providing casework services. DPG II administers complex property and litigation cases and may develop comprehensive care plans. DPG III also provides lead direction to other deputies, serves as liaison with specific County and State facilities, handles those cases that present the greatest liability to the client and/or the County, and may provide 24-hour emergency response services.
