We are seeking a skilled and motivated Administrative Assistant to provide high-level support to a manager, unit leader, or program chief-or to independently manage a specific assigned program or function. This role involves a blend of administrative and technical responsibilities, requiring sound judgment, initiative, and accountability for results, with minimal day-to-day supervision.

While duties may vary, this position typically operates within a specialized area and is responsible for supporting or managing program operations, contributing to decision-making processes, and ensuring effective execution of assigned tasks. This is considered a first-level administrative role, with clearly defined responsibilities and authority, and may include supervision of support staff.

The position is distinguished from higher-level administrative roles by a narrower program focus and more limited impact on overall department activities. Work is performed under the guidance of an administrative superior.

Temporary work is typically for variable hours, and is not expected to be full-time. The State does not guarantee 40 hours of work per week.

\ If you would like more information about this position, please contact.

Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online to be considered.

Environmental Factors

Duties are typically performed in an office setting with normal working conditions, some of which may be within an institutional environment. Depending upon duties assigned, some travel may be necessary, for which private transportation may be needed.

Minimum Qualifications

Associate\'s degree in business technology, secretarial science or office management

High school graduation or equivalent and three (3) years of office clerical experience

Completion of a one-year vocational/technical training program in business and office occupations or related area may be substituted for one year of the work experience

College coursework may be substituted for the work experience on a semester for six months basis.
