Details
Description
Guardian Partners was started with the goal of providing oversight to ensure that adults, who are under the legal protection of a guardian, are being treated with the utmost dignity and respect. In Oregon, Guardians are appointed by the Court to make decisions on behalf of those who are unable to make decisions for themselves.
--------------------------------------------------------
Case Monitors are at the heart of our mission to keep vulnerable Oregonians safe and thriving. In collaboration with county Probate Courts, Case Monitors are appointed to provide thorough, limited reviews of existing adult guardianship cases. Monitors will visit with the person under guardianship, will interview others involved in their care, and will assess that needs, wishes, and concerns are met.
The purpose of a Case Monitor’s role is to identify ways we might be able to provide additional support, education, and resources to Guardians and/or the adult under guardianship. Consistently, Case Monitors provide resources, often several, in over 80% of cases examined. Monitors may also provide a method of alerting the Court when there is suspicion or evidence of possible abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a Protected Adult. Monitors draft their findings in a report to be submitted to the county Probate Court.
Volunteers needed in the counites of: BENTON, CLATSOP, HOOD RIVER, JACKSON, JOSEPHINE, LINCOLN, MORROW, TILLAMOOK, UMATILLA, WASCO and YAMHILL
Highlights:
- Highly flexible—can be scheduled on your time at your convenience.
- Typical cases require 6-12 hours of time per month with a volunteer commitment towards closing a minimum of 10 cases within a year.
- The difference you make in a Protected Person’s life can be profound!
Case Monitors must pass criminal and background checks, including fingerprinting. All potential volunteers must complete hybrid training of on-line education, classroom style training, and shadowing two case reviews with Guardian Partners Staff. Staff supervision/support is continuous.
Monitors will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, strength in difficult and inquisitive interviewing and investigation skills, and a desire towards honoring the rights and well-being of adults with cognitive limitations.
Monitors will have access to reliable transportation. Flexibility with priority Counties and ability towards travel is a plus! Guardian Partners serves most counties across Oregon.
