vd sotto Explanation: Così a sangue freddo mi viene in mente "operations clerk/assistant" ma forse suona troppo di settore privato (invece di pubblico come sembra essere il tuo caso). Altrimenti non mi viene in mente niente di meglio di "Administration Clerk/Assistant" (se fa solo cose d'ufficio), oppure qualcosa come "Specialized Helper/General Assistant" se fa lavori più pratici 'sul campo' per così dire. Ecco, le ho un po' buttate lì, non è niente di accurato. Spero siano di qualche aiuto comunque. Ciao! |

Perhaps you could consider simply calling'em all "operators", which may not be totally right, but won't be completely wrong either. Respect Derek |

peer agreement (net): +1social assistant/ assistant for the disabled Explanation: "Social worker" would be "assistente sociale" in Italian, a title you need a 3 year university diploma to obtain. "Tecnico operativo" should on the other han indicate a figure of a lower level of education (corsi di formazione??). There are lots of interesting terms in the growing field of social assistance, animatore per gli anziani, animatore disabili, animatore sociale. These are non protected titles that can be obtained in a lot of different ways ( ad hoc courses, special schools etc). Tecnico operativo (nel sociale) -could mean someone who's doing "the dirty work" (manual jobs), but is sometimes used (as an adjective) for managerial positions. From what you write I'd go for assistant, but i need somemore context to be sure. I did a google searche and found about a dozen different meanings of tecnico operativo |

support worker Explanation: Mi viene in mente questa espressione, senz'altro comune in inglese e non specifica. Eviterei "operator", "operative" che in inglese fanno pensare a macchinari (per quanto semplici, eg: centralino telefonico) e a lavori decisamente manuali svolti in industria |
