ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT I

Administrative Assistant I is the first-level position within the Administrative Series. Under the general direction of the Manager of Administration, the Administrative Assistant I provides routine technical administrative support and assists in planning and organizing the administrative activities of the agency. Administrative Assistant I is responsible for a variety of data gathering, analysis, and program duties coordination. This is accomplished by tracking, recording and reporting information, preparing documents and correspondence, and maintaining records. Duties may vary based upon the department to which assigned; however, all positions require the ability to understand and apply fundamental administrative support and assistance in planning and organizing the administrative activities of the agency.

Supervision and frequent review of work lessen as the incumbent demonstrates the skill to perform work independently. Positions at this level may perform most of the duties required of the second level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.
