Employment Opportunity:
Clerk 1, Code Enforcement Office (full-time)
The Town of Van Buren is seeking someone with outstanding customer service skills to serve in the role of Clerk 1 in Code Enforcement Office. This is a full-time position, 8:30 am – 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday working at the Town Hall.
Under immediate supervision, an employee in this class performs routine clerical work in compliance with written guidelines and procedures. Detailed instructions are received at the beginning of work for any new assignments, but regular routine assignments are performed more independently and some initiative and judgment is utilized as experience is gained. Thinking “outside of the box” is critical in this role. Assignments to the employee include the use of standard office equipment where conditions of the work do not necessitate previous training in their use. Work is supervised and often reviewed by superiors upon completion for content and accuracy. Although the varied tasks and activities performed may include those typical of other entry-level clerical classes such as Typist, these activities usually occupy only a minor part of the overall job and are done in support of the basic activities.
The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:
- Must have experience and be proficient in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) – Test will be given
- Excellent attention to detail
- Be able to work with time constraints and under pressure at times.
