DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Senior Administrative Assistants support Division Manager level staff and perform a variety of difficult, specialized administrative support functions that require a thorough knowledge of the terminology, procedures and practices for their functional areas, with a significant degree of independence and accountability for results. Incumbents may also provide secretarial services to managers and/or supervisors and train and provide work guidance to other clerical employees.

Senior Administrative Assistant is distinguished from Administrative Assistant in that incumbents in the former class have responsibility for greater diversity of difficult and specialized assignments and entails one or more of the following: work that requires more extensive knowledge of the department's technical functions, including terminology, policies, practices and procedures and their application in completing, monitoring and managing the unit's work processes; sophisticated mastery of computer software to design, set up and produce such complex documents as spreadsheets and databases involving data interpretation and manipulation; greater accountability for independently producing technical work products and results; and greater responsibility for managing resources to meet deadlines and complete assignments.
