Introduction
The Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee of Manitoba (PGT) is a provincial government Special Operating Agency that is appointed as a last resort to provide a number of services to Manitobans. The Adult Services Section of the PGT is responsible for managing the personal care and property of Manitobans when the PGT has been appointed as committee or substitute decision maker for Manitobans who have been assessed as incapable due to a mental illness or an intellectual disability and there is no one else willing, able or suitable to act on behalf of the person.
Duties:
The Case Manager (CM) manages a full and complex caseload of client files where the Public Guardian and Trustee of Manitoba (PGT) has been appointed under The Mental Health Act or under The Adults Living with an Intellectual Disability Act, to manage the personal care and/or property of individuals who lack the capacity to do so themselves. The CM is required to make complex decisions regarding a client's personal care, including medical treatment decisions. The CM is also required to identify and manage a client's property, which involves developing individualized client budgets (based on the particular client’s income and expenses), responding to funding requests and dealing with personal property and real property. The CM works independently, in accordance with established policies, procedures and legislation. The CM must have very good time management skills to case manage the client volume and the competing demands of the position.
