Administrative Specialist bei City of La Vista Recreation Department

Do you love details, deadlines, and a little fun along the way?

The City of La Vista Recreation Department is looking for an Administrative Specialist who thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. If you're someone who takes pride in accuracy, accountability, and adaptability, and you're ready to bring structure and spark to a team that values both efficiency and energy, this might be the job for you.

You’ll be the organizational powerhouse behind our Recreation office—supporting everything from processing daily deposits to keeping our website fresh and our records squeaky clean. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves getting things done, enjoys supporting public-facing programs, and understands the value of doing the “behind-the-scenes” work that keeps things running smoothly.

Key Responsibilities:

• Finance & Reporting: Handle daily deposits, accounts payable, and receivables; generate monthly reports and assist with grant tracking
• Website & Communication Support: Keep our Recreation web pages updated and engaging for the community
• Document Creation: Draft, design, proofread, and finalize internal and external communications
• Records & Process Management: Maintain accurate files and records while helping improve day-to-day processes
• Committee Support: Attend and prepare materials for the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee one evening per month

Key Qualifications:

• A detail-obsessed doer who can spot a typo from a mile away and triple-checks their math
• Someone with basic accounting knowledge and experience handling cash
• A flexible problem-solver who can shift gears quickly while staying aligned with city policies
• A clear and confident communicator—both in writing and in person
• Someone who sees feedback as a tool for growth and takes accountability for their work
• A team player who brings a positive attitude and isn’t afraid to have a little fun

At the City of La Vista, you’ll be part of a team that’s committed to community, service, and innovation. We work hard, laugh often, and take pride in creating spaces and programs that make La Vista a great place to live, work, and play.
