Under general supervision, perform a variety of clerical duties of above-average difficulty which require learning specific policies and practices and selecting the procedures to use for specific cases; type with accuracy and speed; and do related work as required.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
This class differs from the classification above and below in complexity of tasks, proportion of time spent working without direct supervision and amount of discretionary judgment required to select proper procedures.
Methods of work are less well defined than in the next lower clerical class and are frequently left to the discretion of the incumbent. At this level, the type of clerical work is of a more critical nature than at lower clerical levels and usually involves technical processing of official school records or lead responsibility for an aspect of a complex program involving eligibility, money, and special subject matter.
Incumbents in this class frequently serve as single clerical specialist in the functional area to which assigned, and work flow is determined by the procedures to be followed. Work is frequently extremely varied so the employee has some latitude in deciding task priorities. Training is usually done by a supervisor and takes a relatively long period of time.
Inaccurate work or poor performance at this level would normally result in serious consequence for a student or considerable expenditures of time by higher-level personnel. Supervision is not always available and incumbents must exercise judgment to evaluate the need for referral of problems to a supervisor. There is usually no substantial supervision over other employees, although, incumbents may oversee the performance of others assigned to do relatively routine work.
Most jobs involve some typing, and a few jobs may require the ability to arrange spacing of material on a page. For some jobs involving a great deal of typing, incumbents may need to correct spelling and grammar.
Most positions in this class require the ability to keep information and materials confidential.
