Office trainee with specialization in public administration for the Danish Defence Veterans Centre in Ringsted

Overview

Do you want an office education where you are allowed to try different tasks, develop yourself both professionally and personally, and at the same time be part of a workplace that makes a difference for others? Then maybe you are the one we are looking for as our new office trainee in Operations and Support Element at the Veterans Centre of the Danish Defence in Ringsted.

About

The Veterans Centre works to ensure the best possible conditions for Danish veterans and their relatives through, among other things, guidance, support and treatment.

In the Operations and Support Element we do not necessarily work directly with the veterans. Instead, we ensure that our colleagues have the administrative and practical framework they need so they can concentrate on their important work.

This means that even small tasks matter, and that you as an office trainee will also become part of the joint effort.

When you complete your traineeship with us, we hope that you not only have received a good education but also have developed as a person. And not least, that you have experienced being part of a workplace where you are taken seriously, allowed to contribute and have colleagues who want to help each other succeed.

About the position

The Operations and Support Element is, in many ways, the place where a large part of the Veterans Centre's practical and administrative daily life hangs together.

As an office trainee you will be introduced to different parts of our task solution. You will among other things work with:

• Administrative tasks, case processing and handling of inquiries
• Procurement, invoices and basic financial administration
• Personnel administration and various administrative systems
• Reception, service and contact with colleagues and partners
• Planning, coordination and practical support for meetings and activities

The tasks are tailored to your development and the requirements of the education. Along the way you will gain insight into how a public organization works and how different professional fields collaborate on a common task.

You should learn, not know it all from the start

We know that it takes time to settle in at a new workplace. Therefore we take care to give you a good start and colleagues around you who help you learn the tasks and understand our organization.

As you become familiar with the tasks, you will get more responsibility and the opportunity to find solutions yourself. There must be room to ask questions, try things out and learn along the way.

Our ambition is that during your traineeship you gain a solid professional education, greater self-confidence and the opportunity to discover what you are particularly good at and what you would like to develop further within.

About you

You have either: EUX, STX HHX, HF or HTX supplemented with 5 weeks EUS course for office education with specializations.

In addition we expect that you

• Are curious and want to learn new things
• Meet others with kindness and respect
• Have the courage to take responsibility, even when you need help
• Like to create overview and keep track of details
• Want to be part of a community where we help each other
• Are willing to ask questions and come with your own ideas

You do not need to have experience with office work or knowledge of the Defence. The most important is your motivation and desire to learn.
