Office Support Specialist (Sheriff's Office)

This is advanced clerical work which involves moderately complex work methods and problems and requires skilled typewriting.

Although employees in this class perform duties which require skilled typewriting, the principal emphasis is upon the wide variety of clerical tasks performed which require the application of independent judgment and clerical knowledges. Work of these positions other than typewriting is similar in nature and level to that found in the Clerk 2 class. The varied of work differs among positions, but where work is more repetitive there is an additional responsibility for finality of action. Work may include the operation of other standard office machines for which no previous training is required. Supervision is occasionally exercised over a small group of employees assisting in routine details. Until the more difficult phases of a job are learned an employee works under relatively close supervision, but thereafter detailed instructions are received only when changes in procedures are made. Work is reviewed by a supervisor through observation of operations, periodic audits of work performed, review of typewritten material, and by advice and assistance on unusual or difficult problems.
