Job Summary Job Summary Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred. This is the entry-level classification in Office Assistant series that is responsible for performing clerical duties in support of an assigned office or program. Work assignments are routine, and work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.
