Clerk – L & PS
Auxiliary

This specialized role is responsible for the provision of support services at the City of Coquitlam’s Robinson Memorial Park Cemetery.  The work entails the performance of a variety of sales, clerical, receptionist, and data entry. An employee in a position of this class exercises considerable independence of action and judgment within established guidelines, referring unusual or complex matters to a superior.  The work is performed under minimal supervision and performance is reviewed by a superior in terms of conformance with established procedures and effectiveness of services rendered.

The majority of the work involves working with families dealing with the loss of a family member or pre-planning for their burial options.  This role is responsible for showing families burial product options and then completing all necessary paperwork and transactions to complete the sales.  The work requires a high level of customer service in an often emotionally charged work setting.  As the database software that manages the inventory as well as the point of sale systems is computer-based, a solid background in computer applications of similar nature is a necessity.

The ideal candidate will have completed Grade 12 supplemented  by word-processing, typing and commercial courses, preferably including elementary accounting, plus sound related experience, OR an equivalent combination of training and experience.

Applicants under consideration will be required to consent to a Police Information Check/Vulnerable Sector Check.
