Assistants are generally employed in an executive and technical role (administrative, financial, communication, research, policy development and implementation etc). They play an important role in the internal management of the Institutions, notably in budgetary and financial affairs, personnel work, computing, and document management and scientific laboratory work. An assistant career covers grades AST 1 to AST 11. New staff usually enters at grades AST 1 or AST 3. AST 3 candidates should have completed secondary education, a relevant vocational qualification and/or several years' relevant experience.

Secretaries/Clerks

Secretaries/clerks carry out various administrative, communication and/or financial tasks within their departments. In general, secretaries/clerks provide support to one or several people, departments or units within the institution, often using IT tools such as word-processing, spreadsheets and databases. A thorough knowledge of these IT tools is therefore required. The duties are varied and may include: — preparing, processing, finalising, and checking documents (editing, page layout, formatting, tables) with the aid of specific software; — document management and requests for action (receipt, processing, follow-up, and filing of documents, reports and correspondence, monitor deadlines, archiving, etc.); — assisting with the drafting of press releases, reports, and other texts for different kinds of media; — assisting with the preparation of presentations on communication activities to internal and external audiences; — handling budget implementation files in compliance with financial rules in force (administrative monitoring of invitations to tender, preparation of contracts, monitoring of related transactions, etc.); — handling and following-up personnel or case-files; — finding, compiling and disseminating information (updating databases, files); — organising and coordinating the unit/department’s administrative activities (meetings, official travel, purchase of products etc.); — keeping and updating the unit/department diary, answering calls, taking messages.

The task of Parliamentary ushers is to assist Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and other dignitaries during plenary sessions, at meetings of other parliamentary bodies, and during the various events that take place on the European Parliament’s premises. This includes, amongst others, the preparation and monitoring of meeting rooms, accompanying of participants or visitors and the handling of protocol duties.

Contract staff (CAST) are recruited to do manual or administrative support–service tasks or to provide additional capacity in specialised fields where insufficient officials with the required skills are available. Contract agents positions are available for a wide range of jobs, which require different levels of qualifications. As a result, contract agents are split up into four function groups according to the types of duty performed and covering very specific job specifications.

Conference operators

The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) is organising an open competition, based on qualifications and tests, to draw up a reserve list from which the European Commission may recruit new members of the civil service as ‘ conference operators ’ (function group AST-SC). Conference operators are responsible for operating technical sound and image equipment in multimedia/audio-visual or conference installations, as well as providing first-level technical support for audio-visual and computer equipment.

The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) is organising open competitions, based on tests, to draw up reserve lists from which the European Parliament and the Council will recruit new members of the civil service as ‘lawyer-linguists’ (function group AD). The European Union institutions recruit highly qualified lawyers, who must be able to revise European Union legal texts in the language of the competition from at least two other languages and to provide advice on legislative drafting in order to ensure the quality of drafting of European Union legal acts. The work of a lawyer-linguist involves the use of standard IT and other office-technology tools. The lawyer- linguists follow legislative procedures throughout the process and act as advisers, checking the quality of drafting and compliance with the formal rules on the presentation of legislative texts. Furthermore, they check the linguistic and legal consistency of legislative texts (already translated and revised) in the language of the competition with the other language versions of the texts. The nature of their duties means that there is frequent contact with the various participants in the legislative procedure.

The principal role of linguistic administrators (translators) is to deliver high-quality translations by the deadlines set and to provide linguistic advice so as to enable the institution or body for which they work to fulfil its mission. Their duties include translation from at least two source languages into their main language as well as revision of translations from those languages, terminology research, helping with training measures and the development of IT tools. The texts involved, which are often complex, generally deal with political, legal, economic, financial, scientific or technical subjects encompassing all the European Union’s areas of activity. Performing these tasks requires the intensive use of specific IT and related tools.

1. Financial economics This field of the open competition is being held to recruit Administrators (AD 7) in the area of financial economics, with a focus on multilateral and country surveillance, banking and financial services legislation development and implementation, policy analysis, design and assessment, design and/or implementation of financing schemes (including the European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI), EU financial instruments and external blending facilities), relations and enhanced cooperation of the EU with international financial institutions (IFIs), portfolio management, financial risk management and borrowing in financial markets. 2. Macroeconomics This field of the open competition is being held to recruit Administrators (AD 7) in the area of macroeconomics, with a focus on multilateral and country surveillance and on policy analysis, design and assessment. The main duties include: - Surveillance of macroeconomic developments and policies of the Member States, the euro area and the European Union. - Analysis of macroeconomic indicators and imbalances or designing, implementing and/or assessing equilibrating measures e.g. by means of an economic adjustment programme. - Empirical analysis or model simulation to underpin the formulation and assessment of economic policies, including in fields such as public finances, structural reforms and financial institutions and markets.

The auditors of the EU institutions undertake a variety of audits depending on the institution and service to which they are attached and these may be external, internal and ex-post control audit. The types of audits conducted may include financial, performance and compliance ones, or a combination of these. In particular, auditors provide assurance to the management of the organisation by undertaking audits in a broad range of EU policy areas examining compliance with laws and regulations and value for money.

They assess how well risks are being managed, the organisation is being governed and internal processes are working. The scope and nature of audits can vary significantly and cover various administrative and operational processes. They also provide assurance and advisory services in all operational fields of the EU and as such may be required to operate in various EU Member States and third countries during their career. Auditors also provide consulting services, advising management on how to improve management and control systems and processes.

The European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) is organising open competitions, based on qualifications and tests, to draw up reserve lists from which the Court of Justice in Luxembourg, in particular the Research and Documentation Directorate, may recruit new members of the civil service as ‘ administrators ’ (function group AD).
