Student assistants sought for the Ministry of Nature and Animal Welfare

Do you have the appetite for an exciting and educational student job in the central administration, and are you interested in politics, communication, nature and animal welfare? Then you might be one of the three student assistants we are looking for to our department!

About us

Denmark is facing a historic transformation. Large agricultural areas are to be transformed into forests, meadows and lakes. The coasts and fjords are to have cleaner water. This means that the map as we know it will change – with more nature, less impact on our nature and better animal welfare. You will therefore become part of a ministry that is working with one of the biggest changes in Denmark in recent times.

In the Office for Involvement, Communication and Progress we are in close contact and dialogue with the outside world – we are responsible for communication, press, ministerial visits and SoMe, and we are at the same time the link between the 23 local tripartites. That means that we work to create frameworks that make it possible for private foundations, companies, etc. to contribute to the large land-use reform.

About the positions

We offer an exciting student job close to the political decisions in the ministry. You will become part of a student team that supports the office's general tasks. The office consists of two heads of office and about 20 colleagues with different backgrounds. We are looking for 3 students.

Professionally we are looking for two different profiles – but please tell us very much about everything you can contribute with, regardless of your background. There is an opportunity to tailor tasks to your competencies, so please indicate in your application if you have special skills or experience from other student positions or the like.

We are looking for a communications profile who can help with…

• Develop ideas and produce creative content for social media, from short texts and photos to infographics
• Write informative texts for the web, SoMe and other communication channels
• Work with the ministry's website and intranet, where you will publish, update and edit content in close collaboration with the person responsible for the website

• Answer inquiries within your task portfolio and respond to invitations
• Participate in meetings around the country
