The ideal candidate is accurate, efficient, customer service oriented, and takes pride in helping a team operate smoothly and effectively. This is an excellent opportunity for a resourceful administrative professional who enjoys collaborating across departments, working behind the scenes to support organizational success, and contributing to IEUA’s mission and operations.

EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND EXPERIENCE:

An Administrative Assistant I performs journey-level, administrative support functions requiring the understanding and application of Agency, departmental, and policies and procedures to provide office administrative support services that may require specialized knowledge in the area of assignment.

In addition to performing the full journey-level skilled duties, incumbents perform a variety of sensitive support functions. Assigned work requires the use of initiative and judgment in selecting appropriate work methods, understanding and applying detailed information and procedures and meeting high standards of accuracy in handling routine and non-routine data and managing small division-specific programs. Incumbents may also coordinate and oversee the work of lower-level staff.
