DEFINITION
Under direction, performs moderately complex technical administrative work in support in the assigned department; organizes and performs moderately complex and specialized duties and services related to the assigned unit; and performs related work as assigned.
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
This is the second technical level class of the administrative support series within the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD). Incumbents typically have specialized program or project responsibilities that require moderately complex technical knowledge of the assigned subject area in order to make decisions and complete assignments. Positions in this class may be assigned to a wide variety of operational and administrative work units with specialized program, project and administrative requirements.
This class may be distinguished from the lower-level class of Administrative Technician because Administrative Specialists perform moderately complex work assignments and/or may assist higher-level administrative staff with advanced and highly complex assignments.
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Incumbents in this class typically work under general supervision, though some positions may provide specialized technical support for a program or operational manager. Incumbents receive 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 assign, direct and/or monitor the work of subordinate full time, part time, and/or student employees on a project or assignment basis.
