  • scheduling meetings
  • managing a digital diary.

In larger departments it could also include spreadsheet administration work such as calculating departmental leave days and temporary wage costs which will require liaising with the human resources department. It can also include as basic level of product work on spreadsheets as you become accustomed to the organisation's products and services.

Qualifications/attributes

Secretarial and legal secretarial diplomas from Technical, IT short courses from accredited institutions and relevant experience. Also, a friendly, positive attitude goes a long way to securing a position.
