If it's the second year and you still haven't found a groove to working together as a duo there should be conversations about what you expect and how you expect to work together. Document these so that if they ignore your directives you have some documentation for your admin.
If it's beyond the second year and you're still having issues, up the ante on the documentation and start getting your admin on your side. At some point you need to have a very frank conversation with your assistant and expect to have to cover their ensembles a bit while they are out job-hunting. Ultimately it is your program and you have to make sure that who you are working with is a positive addition to your curriculum that you are teaching to your students.
