    DEFINITION


    Under direction, leads, coordinates and performs advanced and confidential administrative work as the primary secretary for a Dean or other senior-level manager; organizes, leads and performs highly complex and technical administrative duties and services related to budgeting, accounting, contracts, payroll, purchasing, personnel, and/or other areas; may serve as a lead worker over subordinate clerical and/or technical staff; and performs related work as assigned.


    DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
    This is the third classification in the administrative support series within the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD). Incumbents must utilize advanced technical knowledge of specialized subject areas to make decisions and complete assignments.

    Positions in this class provide primary secretarial and administrative support to a Dean or other senior-level manager, often serving as a lead worker and/or administrative coordinator for the work unit.

    This class may be distinguished from the lower-level class of Administrative Specialist because incumbents in the Administrative Secretary class perform more complex and confidential duties in support of Dean or other senior-level manager.


    SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED


    Incumbents in this class work under the direction of a Dean or other senior manager, receiving occasional supervision while working toward a definite objective that requires use of a wide range of procedures.

    Incumbents plan and/or determine specific procedures or equipment required to meet assigned objectives and solve non-routine problems, referring only unusual matters to a supervisor.

    An incumbent in this class does not directly supervise other full-time employees, but may serve as a lead worker and administrative office coordinator by assigning, directing and/or monitoring the work of subordinate full time employees on a regular basis.
