The First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) is currently looking for a dedicated, energetic and organized Administrative Assistant to join our hard-working School Support team who work collaboratively and diligently to improve education for all First Nations students in BC. As a member of the FNESC administrative team the Administrative Assistant, School Support will primarily provide administrative services to the Instructional Services, Special Education Programs, Secondary Graduation and Adult Education, and Language and Culture departments and other departments and personnel as needed. The Administrative Assistant, School Support will provide coverage for the Administrative Assistant, Reception and Programs and assumes the responsibilities of the Administrative Assistant, Reception and Programs during these times.
Since 1992, FNESC, led by a strong and diverse board of over 130 First Nations community representatives, has worked in partnership with the First Nations School Association (FNSA), and the Indigenous Adult Higher Learning Association (IAHLA). Communications, research, partnership-building, resource development and advocacy are all part of the work we do to advance issues in First Nations education.

FNESC REQUIRES THAT ALL FNESC STAFF BE FULLY VACCINATED FOR COVID-19 FOR TWO REASONS: FIRST, BECAUSE FNESC TAKES ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WORKPLACE VERY SERIOUSLY. AND, SECOND, BECAUSE MANY OF OUR STAFF ATTEND FIRST NATIONS COMMUNITIES IN-PERSON. SOME FIRST NATIONS HAVE UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS AND VULNERABILITIES RELATED TO COMMUNICABLE DISEASES LIKE COVID-19, AND FNESC ALWAYS RESPECTS THE NEEDS OF FIRST NATIONS.

We thank everyone who applies for their interest in FNESC. Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications, we are only able to respond to those applicants who are selected for an interview. We cannot respond to telephone or email inquiries.
