DEFINITION
 
Under general supervision or direction, performs a variety of duties in the review of prospective clients to determine whether they meet the financial, medical, social, and psychological criteria for conservatorship or guardianship; assumes responsibility for a caseload with respect to administering the personal and financial affairs of the conservatee in accordance with mandated laws, rules, ordinances, codes, and regulations; and performs related duties as assigned.
 
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
 
Receives general supervision or direction from assigned supervisory or management personnel.  Exercises no direct supervision over staff. 
 
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
 
Deputy Public Guardian I: This is the entry-level classification in the Deputy Public Guardian class series.  Initially under general supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine conservatorship duties including assessing individuals for eligibility into the program, and learning the rules and regulations with respect to the different types of conservatorship, e.g., LPS (Lanterman-Petris-Short) conservatorships and probate conservatorships.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; general supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.  Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. 
 
Deputy Public Guardian II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Deputy Public Guardian class series.  Positions at this level are distinguished from the I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently under less supervision than the I-level, and exercising judgment and initiative.  Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. 
 
This class is further distinguished from the Deputy Public Guardian Supervisor in that the latter is the full supervisory-level class in the series that has responsibility for the assignment, supervision, and evaluation of the work of assigned to professional, technical, and administrative support staff.
 
Positions in the Deputy Public Guardian class series are flexibly staffed, and positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level, after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
