Firstly HR have no obligation to include you in the selection/interview process for a new assistant - most HR functions try to avoid that.  However, having said that, you have been informed they will advise when interviews are scheduled...so leave it as that.

I assume CVs are being submitted to HR and not you??  You need to explain that to your boss.  He might have some influence in allowing HR to let you into the loop.

Secondly, you are not deceiving anyone.  I have worked with several individuals and had no idea they were on notice.  You are obliged to continue acting in a professional manner and it is no one else's business that you are leaving until it is decided to make it public knowledge.

My advice would be to carry on as normal.
