Social Services Supervisor- Guardianship Services Board

The Lucas County Guardianship Services Board (LCGSB) administers a public guardianship program serving mentally incompetent adults (wards) of Lucas County through appointments by the Lucas County Probate Court. The LCGSB is appointed as the Guardian of the Person Only, when proper and applicable. As Guardian of Last Resort, the LCGSB is appointed by the Lucas County Probate Court when no suitable or appropriate family members are able or available to serve.

The wards appointed to the LCGSB are required to be indigent, as defined by the Lucas County Probate Court.

Under the supervision of the Executive Director, the Social Services Supervisor will be primarily responsible for the proper agency implementation of guardianship services to all LCGSB wards. The Social Services Supervisor will provide work direction and general supervision to all LCGSB Social Services/Case Management Staff. The Social Services Supervisor will develop, implement and revise social services procedures and protocols, with input and final approval by the Executive Director.

The Social Services Supervisor will lead and set the tone for the Social Services Team, with assistance from the Case Manager II. The Social Services Supervisor will be expected to cover after hours on-call work, as needed, in rotation with the Social Services Staff. The Social Services Supervisor will carry a caseload of wards for the LCGSB, as determined by operational need.
