to assist the administrator. job depends on what the manager will tell you to do so. you will be given a pre-warm up of the position. you'll be working more than the administrator/manager itself. (sorry i don't know what is ICT).

Would have been best to ask about the duties and responsibilities BEFORE you actually took the position. Wasn't there an interview process? Generally administrative assistants do lots of computer work - word processing, reports, copying, managing the calendar and schedule of their manager. Much depends on what the work of the manager is. You will be responsible to help them get their job done and through their day efficiently

Its different in every field. Some admin assistants can do paperwork, answer phones, file etc. Others can handle much more needed task as meeting with clients, taking application etc. I dont know what an ICT officer is but im sure if you go on your jobs website it will help clear it up.
