ADMINISTRATIVE AIDE

Charles Hickey, Parkville Unit

9700 Old Harford Road

The ability to assume responsibility and take initiative plays a significant role in this function, as does the ability to exercise good judgment.

A good workable relationship with superiors, coworkers, and the public is necessary. Dependability is a must.

This is due to the complexity and size of Central Maryland Region, and the varying demands of the job and content of the work. The element of the job, which takes the longest to learn, is the structure of the Department of Juvenile Justice, the multi-functioning staff and their various roles and responsibilities in the complex delivery of services system. It is also necessary to develop and maintain good organizational skills for handling "last minute priorities". In addition to the above skills, one must know in detail how Department's information database (Assist) functions.
