The Prince George’s County Health Department is currently seeking qualified applicants to fill an Administrative Aide 4 (Administrative Aide 4A) grade A19 position in the Family Health Services Division.
About the Position

Administrative Aide IV's may report to the head of a medium sized department (generally grades ranging from 31 and above), to an important official in the Office of the County Executive or County Council or to a Deputy Director. Incumbents at this level usually receive very general instructions and supervision on most assignments.

Work performance is evaluated in terms of accuracy and timely completion of projects and assignments.
