Job Summary
Performs highly responsible complex secretarial, administrative, and clerical work for a major City operation (i.e. Department Directors and Elected Officials) which involves considerable public contact and requires skill in handling difficult situations, complicated schedules, and inflexible deadlines. Performs a variety of complex secretarial tasks which require independent judgment and action, including making administrative decisions in accordance with organizational policies and practices. This class is distinguished by the fact that considerable independence for action (decision making) is delegated in order to relieve the manager of operational details and routine matters. Work performed may require familiarity with the terminology used in the assigned area in addition to extensive knowledge of the programs, policies, and procedures of the assigned area as well as general knowledge of other City programs and procedures. Direction is received in the form of broad statements/general outlines which consist primarily of objectives, priorities, deadlines, and suggested available resources. Employees are expected to plan, develop work routines, and complete assignments with minimum supervision. Only unusually important or complicated assignments are checked in detail upon completion.
Minimum Qualifications:
High School Diploma/G.E.D. Certificate and four (4) or more years progressively responsible secretarial work with experience in office management functions required. Certified Professional Secretary certificate desired; or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
