Student for offices in the Asylum Department

At the Danish Immigration Service we meet people from all over the world – face to face or through our case handling. We ensure that the right people receive residence and protection in Denmark on an informed basis.

Welcome to the Danish Immigration Service!

With us you are part of solving meaningful tasks that matter both to society and to the individual. We are a workplace with high professional standards, informal tone, and strong collegial cohesion. You will become part of an environment with political attention, where you are intellectually and personally challenged and will gain insight into the work of a civil servant in the central administration.

The positions are located in the Center for Asylum in North Zealand, where we are organized into four offices. Three of these offices are seeking students to assist with the work.

Office for Accommodation Conditions and Ukraine is responsible for the Immigration Service’s general and specific legal and administrative tasks concerning accommodation, subsistence and conditions for asylum seekers and foreigners without legal residence. The office is also responsible for processing residence permit cases under the Ukraine special statute and for distributing newly arrived refugees and displaced persons from Ukraine to the municipalities of the country when they obtain residence permits.

As a student assistant in the office you will have exciting tasks including

• preparation of case handling
• response to concrete inquiries
• preparation of data material for management information and strategy
• supporting the office in a broad sense.

Office for Asylum Cases consists of four units: the AM unit, the Asylum Unit, the Special Cases Unit and the Cross-cutting Unit.

The AM unit is tasked with determining which Member State is responsible for handling an asylum application, while the Asylum Unit handles the extended asylum processing. The Special Cases Unit handles asylum cases concerning unaccompanied minor asylum seekers, detainees and persons who have been deported by court order. The Cross-cutting Unit supports the other units and also handles a number of other legal tasks, including processing freedom of information requests and preparing hearing responses.

As a student in the Office for Asylum Cases you will therefore gain a broad insight into asylum processing. Your tasks will be varied and may include:

• processing freedom of information requests
• creating cases
• sending hearings to relevant Member States
• practical tasks such as mail handling and scanning of files.

Office for Control, Expiry and Quotas is responsible for assessing whether a refugee permit can be extended or must be refused extension, and whether refugee permits have expired due to residence abroad.

Your tasks will be to assist caseworkers in replying to inquiries from e.g. citizens and partners, requests for freedom of information, forwarding files to our appeal body, the Refugee Board, and in general to support the handling of the office’s concrete cases.
