Definition

THIS RECRUITMENT WILL CLOSE AFTER RECEIPT OF THE FIRST 100 APPLICATIONS, OR BY AUGUST 9, 2026, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.

Applications must be filled out completely and thoroughly. Resumes are not accepted in lieu of an application, but may be additionally attached.

PLEASE ATTACH ANY DEGREES OR TRANSCRIPTS, LICENSES, AND CERTIFICATIONS TO YOUR APPLICATION.

Anchored in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada - 20 miles east of Sacramento and about 1.5 hours from Lake Tahoe - the City of Folsom is comprised of beautiful parks and trails, and boasts excellent schools, family-orientated neighborhoods, and outstanding shopping, dining, and cultural options. Folsom is a high-tech, forward-looking city, with firms ranging from small to large international corporations. Voted by WalletHub as the Best Place for Families to Live in California, and 2nd Best Lake Town in America, Folsom is recognized for its affordability, fair weather, education, and health.

The City of Folsom's City Attorney's Office is currently recruiting for an Administrative Assistant (Confidential). This position is Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm and sits at a public counter located in Folsom City Hall.

IDEAL CANDIDATE
This position will provide direct administrative and clerical support to the City Attorney’s Office. The ideal candidate is someone who has strong administrative experience working in a law office or working within the legal department of a public agency. The minimum requirement is three (3) years of experience, however at least five (5) years of experience is highly preferred. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of City government, The Public Records Act, and The Government Claims Act. The ideal candidate is also very familiar with civil litigation, including calendaring requirements and practices; general court procedures; and filing documents in state and/or federal court, especially Sacramento Superior Court.

Under general supervision of the City Attorney, the Administrative Assistant (Confidential) will perform highly confidential, responsible, specialized, and technical office support activities, with principal clerical responsibility for a variety of complex but well-defined, Department-wide administrative functions; explain rules, policies, and operations related to department records and programs; provide information and assistance to the public; may coordinate administrative and clerical activities among the divisions of the department; and perform related work as required. Incumbents may oversee, monitor, and direct the work of lower level personnel.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
The Administrative Assistant (Confidential) is an unrepresented, singular classification that has principal clerical responsibility for a variety of confidential and complex, but well-defined Department-wide administrative functions, such as budget compilation, a multi-faceted payroll, contracts, Committee or Commission minutes, document imaging, payment processing, and/or Council agenda item preparation, and may take assignments directly from a department head. Some positions may provide direct supervision for a small proportion of the time. Incumbents work independently on specialized sensitive administrative activities containing a high number of complex and difficult tasks and assignments. This class is distinguished from the represented classification of Administrative Assistant in that the latter does not have access to confidential and sensitive labor-relations information.
