Job Summary

The Team
The Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) is here to help citizens who may be incapable, are under the age of 19 or who are deceased. The Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) has the mandate to:

• Protect the legal and financial interests of children under the age of 19 years
• Protect the legal, financial, personal and health care interests of adults who need help with decision-making
• Administer estates of deceased persons and missing persons

The PGT is a corporation sole which is a legal structure with one person responsible for overall service delivery instead of a board of directors. That person is called the Public Guardian and Trustee. The PGT is independent of government when making decisions on behalf of clients. We are an inclusive organization that seeks to provide culturally safe and respectful services to each client. We are committed to creating a meaningful workplace culture that pursues truth and reconciliation. We put clients first when making decisions and act with the highest ethical, legal and personal standards. We value collaboration with clients, colleagues and partners and believe in the importance of relationships to achieve positive outcomes for clients.

Within the PGT, the Child and Youth Services Division (CYS), protects the legal and financial interests of children and youth under many different provincial laws. CYS works on behalf of and directly with children and youth and also engages with parents, guardians and support networks. CYS provides services to children and youth under three main areas: trust services, property guardian services and protective legal reviews.

The Role
This role will provide legal reviews to protect the interests of minors and vulnerable adults and to provide support to PGT lawyers with large, complex, sensitive and, at times, high-profile client cases.
