As a senior rater, what kind of successive assignments would you recommend to someone who is receiving a negative NCOER?

I think that would depend on why they are getting a negative NCOER.

Depending on why, one that would have little responsibility and at there current grade.

That really depends on if you think the negative NCOER is warranted (either you're giving the negative ratings as the senior rater, or the rater is giving the negative ratings...but you agree with them). If that's the case, I'd select lateral or lower-level positions. If you disagree with the rater (who is giving them the negative ratings), then go with higher-level positions.

Too much information missing to even begin to provide an answer? With what we do have, three positions you do think the soldier could grow and succeed in?

I can not confirm or deny a SSG's NCOER once had "CQ runner" & "BN Staff Duty runner" & "Housing NCOIC" as next duty assignments

I would echo the comments that say that there isn't enough here to give direct advice, but I would say that if they were unsuccessful in a responsibility, direct them to areas that they've succeeded in previously.
If they failed in leadership, direct them to positions where they can be supervised and contribute as a team member.
If they failed in a duty assignment, direct them to a different one where they can find success.
If they are a turd, direct them to the exits and ensure that they find a date with QMP next year.

The big question is whether this is a one off failure or can they be rehabilitated and continue to serve successfully. That will tell the tale of what your rating should say.

It would depend on why the negative NCOER in the 1st place. If it is following at their current position, you do not recommend advance but either retraining at current position, or even different MOS. I do not admit to civilian, or mess kit repair man either.
