Hi! In general, Administrative Support is considered the driving force of all organization, whether it is local, private nonprofit or profit.
They are sometimes referred to as the backbone or back office.
Without them, daily operations fail.
They define the structure of every organization and company.
Administrative Support is very broad since it means jobs, tasks and a scope within a group of Administrative assistants often with job descriptions of Secretaries, personal assistants, receptionists, office managers and other.
These are only some of them since sometimes a huge company has stems of Administrative Support functions in different levels and department.
It is very broad indeed.
To make it simple, we have provided the specifics of what an Administrative Support is in a common organizational setting or structure.
Job Description As an administrative support one can either be assigned to submit daily logs and reports of another administrative staff or it can be someone who is required to run the whole operation daily.
To generalize the job description of someone who is an entry level or clerk to someone that can be the department head or manager; we prepared a table for your reference.
For Entry Level or Clerk : >Completes his/her assigned daily task.
It can include a seies of work like to file all invoices, print all purchase orders, journalize all sales receipts etc.
>Submits his/her comprehensive report at the end of the day of all the assigned work within the day.
>Checks the Quality of his/her completed tasks and reports before submission and collaboration.
>Assesses one’s performance at the end of the week.
For Department head/Supervisor/Manager: >Provides work load and work assignments to his/her support staff daily.
>Submits his/her comprehensive report at the end of the week or month to the management.
>Monitors, Implements and does Quality check on the whole staffs’ assigned work >Assesses the support staffs’ monthly and weekly performance for management review.
Hope these could help.
