The Aging and Adult Services Division of San Mateo County Health is seeking a full-time Deputy Public Guardian Conservator II/III (DPG). 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. All DPGs must accept very diverse roles in the areas of estate management and care coordination.
 
This person will report to the Supervising Deputy Public Guardian of Aging and Adult Services.
 
The ideal candidate will be able to develop and maintain collaborative partnerships with a variety of organizations; have strong assessment, motivational interviewing, investigative, oral and written communication skills; have familiarity working with Adult Protective Services (APS), law enforcement, San Mateo County Superior Court system, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, San Mateo Medical Center and an understanding of the Probate Code. The ideal candidate should also have experience conducting psychosocial assessments and meeting the needs of persons suffering from serious mental illness, as well as experience with asset management and knowledge of various public benefits programs. Lastly the ability to be politically astute, perform client engagement/ case management tasks from a strength-based, culturally sensitive, and racially equitable framework, is ideal as well as the ability to perform duties in a fast-paced environment and exercise discernment and critical thinking to problem-solve immediate client-centered challenges.

• Collects all income due to the person, secures appropriate benefits and monitors accuracy of benefit amount.
• Pays all lawful debts.
• Creates viable solutions to address financial hardships experienced by LPS clients – for example when liquid assets have been depleted.

For example, a client may own real property vested in Trust and live in the residence with 24-hour home health care services in place. The client's liquid assets have depleted. The Deputy Public Guardian may have to facilitate application for a reverse mortgage, identify and marshal Trust and conservatorship assets, and reconcile these two separate legal entities, as well as develop an estate plan, while ensuring that the client receives care appropriate to his/her needs.
 
 Client Care Coordination:
  

• Arranges for the person's care and protection.

• Performs de-escalation and motivational interviewing interventions on an as needed basis.
• Collaborates with the case managers, psychiatrists, social workers, and facility administrators to put together a plan to address emergent and/or behavioral issues and find alternative placement options, as needed.

For example, a client in a board and care home or locked facility may be having a behavioral problem. The Deputy Public Guardian will work with the case manager, psychiatrist, social worker, and facility administrator to put together a plan to address the client's behavioral issues and may also need to work with the treatment team on finding alternative placement, if needed.
 
 Court:

• Arranges appropriate representation in all legal matters.

Probate requires a review of the past two years of care through the writing of a comprehensive report on financial transactions, social interactions, and medical conditions.
