Job Description
AMO, an Akima company, is seeking candidates for an On-Call / Intermittent Secretary II position in Dahlgren, VA. This Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS)-covered position is intended to provide backfill support for Secretary II positions during periods of extended leave, vacancy, or other temporary staffing gaps across the contract.
This position does not guarantee continuous work hours. Assignments will be based on contract needs, customer requirements, and the availability of backfill work. There may be periods when no active assignment or work hours are available. However, successful candidates in this role may be considered for permanent Secretary II openings as they become available. Permanent placement is not guaranteed and will depend on available positions, customer requirements, qualifications, performance, and contract needs.
This is a unique opportunity for a candidate who is flexible, adaptable, and comfortable supporting different offices, branches, divisions, departments, or program offices as needs arise. Because this position may support multiple offices over time, the successful candidate must be able to quickly learn local office procedures, adapt to changing priorities, and provide professional administrative support with limited transition time.
The Secretary II provides principal secretarial support in an office, usually to one individual and, in some cases, to the subordinate staff of that individual. The Secretary II maintains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor and staff, works fairly independently with minimal detailed supervision and guidance, and performs various clerical and secretarial duties requiring knowledge of office routines and an understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the office being supported.
