The City of Menlo Park is recruiting full-time Office Assistants and a full or part-time Senior Office Assistant to provide essential administrative support and help our organization better serve the community. As part of the recruitment, the City will evaluate candidate interests, experiences and education for assignments in the Administrative Services Department, City Manager's Office and the Community Development Department. Once vacancies are filled, the remaining qualified applicants will remain on an eligibility list for future Office Assistant and Senior Office Assistant vacancies. Accordingly, applicants interested in the Office Assistant job series, but not necessarily the aforementioned departments, are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Office Assistant

Under general supervision, incumbents provide a variety of office support activities to an assigned program or division, which may include word processing, data entry and organization, telephone and counter reception, document processing, record keeping, and filing; creating routine forms, memoranda, correspondence, and/or reports; performing routine operation of equipment; providing information and assistance to staff and the general public; and performing related work as required. This is the first working-level class in the Office Assistant classification series responsible for providing clerical and administrative support to an assigned department, division or program. Incumbents are expected to work independently and exercise judgment and initiative. Incumbents with clerical experience learn the policies, procedures, and methods of the assigned department or division and perform more routine administrative and office support duties, including document preparation, record-keeping, researching, compiling, and organizing information from various sources, screening phone calls, visitors, and mail, and directing questions to the appropriate staff. This class is distinguished from the Senior Office Assistant in that the latter performs more advanced administrative and office support duties requiring additional training and/or experience and may provide technical and functional direction to lower-level office support staff.

Incumbents at this level are capable of performing the full range of advanced and difficult clerical and office support duties, including taking and transcribing meeting minutes and assisting in department-related projects and programs. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the administrative assistant in that the latter performs more advanced technical and specialized administrative support duties requiring additional training and/or experience and is typically assigned to a division manager or department head.
