Administrative Assistant

The purpose of this classification is to provide administrative functions to division or department managers in support of departmental operations. Essential functions are similar to those of an Administrative Specialist, but with more emphasis on the provision of direct administrative support to department heads or division managers characterized by a higher degree of interaction with various officials, and wherein client relations are more sensitive and considered critical to the division or department; incumbents in this class are typically assigned to support a specific manager, director, or official. Work often requires a broader knowledge and comprehension of techniques, information, methods, and organizational procedures, wherein a moderate latitude for judgment relative to understanding and interpretation is required.
