Create, learn, discover...with us!

Clerical/Community Aides provide routine to difficult support tasks and service various County departments and operations under supervision. Duties within this classification may have a clerical emphasis, community partner emphasis, or a combination of both. For positions with a clerical emphasis, job duties are primarily clerical. For positions with a community partner emphasis, the primary job duty is working with the community, either in an office, clinic or conducting outreach. This will include meeting with the public in private, group settings, or during outreach events, understanding and making referrals to community resources, and fostering communication between the public and the department or County. This is an excellent entry-level position designed to learn general clerical and County procedures. As experience is gained, there is greater independence of action within established guidelines.
