Job Description

Qualifications:
Applicants must be currently certified through the Massachusetts Department of Human Resources as a senior clerk and typist, or applicants must appear on a current Massachusetts Department of Human Resources eligibility list for permanent appointment to this title. However, due to the fact that the Department of Human Resources has not conducted a Civil Service exam for clerk and typist positions since November of 1998, we may be making a provisional appointment to this position. Therefore, intermittent and junior clerks and typists should also submit an application if they are interested.

Duties:
Applicants must be able to perform, according to standard office procedures, a variety of moderately complex clerical duties requiring a moderate degree of decision making. Applicants must be able to examine documents for correctness, to use a computer to prepare forms and other documents, to compile any number of different types of statistics, and to post and maintain general records. Applicants may, for a small percentage of the time, maintain double-entry books of account, may work with payrolls and pay computations, and receive cash receipts. Applicants must be able to maintain any of a number and/or type of files, give information to the public, requisition office supplies, do sorting and mailing, and perform duties in which typing is performed a large percentage of the time. Applicants should have knowledge of ASPEN, AESOP, MUNIS and NAVIANCE. Applicants must possess a general knowledge of the operations of a school office. Applicants may exercise working supervision over a small number of clerical employees. Applicants must have excellent interpersonal skills in dealing with parents, students, and staff in a busy high school office. The ability to properly prioritize tasks, to multitask, and to concentrate in a distracting environment is essential. Applicants will work under the supervision of the principal of Quincy High School or his designee, and will complete any other tasks as assigned by the principal.

Compensation:
This position is for 192 days per year. Salary will be at Level 1 of the current agreement between the Quincy School Committee and the Quincy Educational Employees Union.
