About the job

In the Department of District Development and Housing in the Mayor's Office for Social Affairs and Employment we are looking for a student assistant for a parental leave cover with start no later than 1 December 2026 and preferably as soon as possible.

Our office works closely with other departments of the City Hall, housing organizations, civil society and other actors to realize the political vision of a mixed city – without disadvantaged housing areas and parallel societies. We combine physical and social efforts to create attractive neighborhoods that are integrated into the surrounding city.

As a student assistant, your tasks will be

• Participate in the development of our communications efforts and be a sparring partner on strategic considerations
• Maintain and develop the office's presence on our Facebook page
• Write articles for our newsletter ‘Gellerup in Development’, which is published four times a year and produced in collaboration with Brabrand Boligforening
• Prepare and contribute to the execution of events, including the experiential race Run Between the Houses in Gellerup
• Create and prepare material in connection with a new political agreement on disadvantaged housing areas
• Manage meeting bookings and various administrative tasks
• Create and update presentations
• Write notes and participate in research tasks
• Maintain and develop our website
• Various ad hoc tasks in the office, including InDesign tasks

You will normally come to City Hall, but some days will also take place out in the areas we work in, e.g. at our office at Fredspladsen in Gellerup-Toveshøj.

You will become part of an exciting environment close to the administrative and political leadership of our city. You will have the opportunity for professional sparring and become part of an exciting office with high standards.

We expect that you

• Are enrolled in a communications-related education and have at least one year left of your studies
• Are skilled at expressing yourself concisely and precisely and solve your tasks using an analytical and methodological approach
• Can work in a structured and results-oriented manner – often under tight deadlines
• Are responsible and understand how to adapt when the agenda changes
• Work independently, just as you are able to and value collaborating with others

You should choose us because

• You get an exciting job close to the administrative and political leadership
• We can offer a professionally strong environment where sparring and collaboration are an important part of solving tasks
• You become part of an informal and pleasant working environment where there is humor and room to breathe

Salary and terms of employment

The salary follows the collective agreement and depends on your level of education. The position is about 12 hours per week, as far as possible within the time window 08:00-16:00 on weekdays. We are flexible in adjusting the working hours to your studies, and you will also have the opportunity to work from home when needed.

The employment is an 11-month parental leave position with the possibility of extension. You must be able to start no later than 1 December – preferably in mid-November.
