Become a student assistant and help secure funding for culture and leisure activities in Copenhagen

Do you dream of helping to secure the conditions for Copenhageners' culture and leisure life?

Good facilities are a prerequisite for Copenhageners to have a good and active leisure life. Therefore, the City of Copenhagen continuously invests in new opportunities – and has established a number of funds that help Copenhageners' ideas and initiatives on their way with contributions to exciting construction projects.

About the position

You will primarily work with managing these funds, including processing applications, ongoing contact with associations, and handling the disbursement of grants and other administrative tasks. Depending on competencies and the office's workload, it will also be possible to assist the project manager in developing new sports and culture facilities.

Your tasks

• Process applications to the city's grant funds
• Advice to associations and other actors on application procedures, grant agreements, budgets, and accounts
• Prepare grant agreements
• Follow up on accounts and disbursement of grants
• Prepare overviews, write texts for the website and contribute to making our work visible
• Various ad-hoc tasks, including helping to plan and facilitate citizen meetings and other events – and create PowerPoint presentations.

About you

• You are enrolled in a relevant higher education program - e.g. geography, urban planning, sports or similar - and have at least two years left of your studies.
• You are persistent and thrive with repetitive administrative and operational tasks
• You work systematically and independently and have a structured approach to your tasks
• You are curious and quickly get to grips with new systems
• You are interested in the city's culture and leisure life and want to make a difference for Copenhageners.

Experience with grant management is an advantage – but the most important thing is that you want to learn. Of course, we will provide thorough training.
