We are doing some restructuring in my company and revision job profiles. We have rebranded some with new job titles to reflect the duties undertaken. I'm stuck on one job title. The profile is: co-ordinating the activities of a team of 12 people, including a manager, in an office which deals with industrial relations. There is an administrative assistant, who carries out the basic admin and secretarial tasks. The individual in post used to be called "Secretary" and then chose "Administrator" for the time being. I do not think it reflects the seniority of the post nor the size of it. She can't be "Office Manager" because no-one below the level of Director can "manage" anything. I was thinking of "Departmental Co-ordinator". What would you think about a post if you encountered one with that title? I would most welcome your views. Thank you.

We have similar positions in my company. In one case the title is HR Coordinator, another is Activities Coordinator and yet another is Departament Coordinator. We also have an Expat Coordinator in HR.
I think you are on the right track with "Departamental Co-ordinator".

Thank you very much, Atlanta. I'm afraid that won't fit this post as there is no "project" involved. The post is really more than a secretary, but there is little in the way of PA duties and certainly no EA duties involved. I'm going to play around with Department/al Co-ordinator and see where that gets me.

I'm know job titles are little different across the pond... My thoughts on Department coordinator: what is the job description?
I personally would not apply for a position with that job title because to me it sounds more gopher than admin. My last thought would be about the progression of my resume for a person just starting out a coordinator position might seem attractive, for my two cents anyone with senior level skills would by pass the position. In other words I would think succession planning not just the current person filling the role.
