Introduction The Alameda County District Attorney's Office upholds Alameda County as a safe and livable community through the fair and effective administration of justice; compassionate and committed support of crime victims; innovative programs that provide opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration; and programs designed to enhance the lives of vulnerable populations, children and youth for a bright, healthy future. Read more about our mandated services . The Alameda County District Attorney's Office is comprised of approximately 150 attorneys, 60 inspectors, 30 Victim-Witness advocates and claim specialists, as well as a variety of administrative, finance, and communications professionals. Our jurisdiction covers over 800 square miles and our staff work in 9 offices located throughout the County. We have six specialized divisions within the office: • Criminal Prosecution • Juvenile Justice • Consumer, Environmental and Worker Protection • DA Inspectors • Victim-Witness Assistance • Alameda County Family Justice Center DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION Under general supervision, to do difficult clerical work, requiring the exercise of considerable initiative and judgment, within the framework of County or department policies and procedures; and to do related work as required. DISTINGUISHING FEATURES This is a specialized clerical class. The majority of the duties assigned must fall into one of the following three categories: 1. Positions responsible for regularly eliciting information from or giving information to people in various stressful situations. The stressful situations mainly occur in "direct (face-to-face) personal" contact. Positions also fall into this category when, because of the situation and the type of clientele, the actual threat of bodily harm exists on a regularly recurring basis. Often the Specialist Clerk I is the public's initial contact with the County system. 2. Positions responsible for independently resolving problems for which there is no immediate policy or clear precedent. 3. Positions which require a specialized knowledge (as opposed to a general or a working knowledge) of broad and complex procedures, systems, rules, codes, and policies in order to perform their assigned duties. Such positions normally require a minimum of six months to one year of training in order to make independent decisions and determinations based on this specialized department and program knowledge. 4. Positions which require, as a major portion of the job, independent liaison activities (typically oral). Incumbents of such positions regularly initiate action and have the authority to deviate from usual methods when independently performing duties.
