We have what is called a Deacon in training. These men are set aside for one year and observed by the pastor, the deacon body and the church body. During this time the person is instructed in the responsibilities and duties of a deacon. After one year a decision is made to weather the person is qualified to be a deacon, if yes then they are ordained. During the ordination a body of pastors and deacons question the person and make the decision.
A deaconess is a female deacon. Whose duties are the same as a male deacon.
One who is responsible for all 'administrative' duties of the Church.
There is no such position, deacon or deaconess.
I like the way Richard Fabian defines the Rolle of the Deacon and so will use his definition as mine. The role of the Deacon is to make the liturgical service go smoothly.

The three main orders of priesthood in Christianity are bishop, priest, and deacon. The bishop oversees multiple churches, the priest leads individual congregations, and the deacon assists with various duties such as serving the community and assisting during religious services.
We are asked to pray with people, to explain scripture, to comfort people in their time of distress, to help people who are in need by helping them ourselves or seeking help for them. The deacon's duties cover a wide area of service.
