About the job

Health and Care offers in spring 2027 an internship position in the Health and Prevention Staff, which is a department in the administration, Health and Prevention.

In this context, you will gain knowledge of how health policy and the daily operation of a welfare area proceed in the interaction between politicians, managers and employees in the administration - in close cooperation with practice.

The Staff works among other things with coordination, quality assurance, development, implementation and evaluation of strategic, health-political and practice-oriented initiatives such as:

• Development and implementation of the Aarhus Municipality health policy.
• Management support for municipal directors, operations directors, the alderman and the director.
• Development and support of collaboration with the municipality’s other directorates.
• Development and support of cross-sector health cooperation with hospital and general practice in Region Midt.
• Development and support of collaboration with civil society and patient associations.

Your tasks

Your tasks as an intern will mainly consist of performing various administrative tasks and assisting the other staff members in their task solution. For example, you may work with:

• Evaluation and analysis – both qualitative and quantitative methods, e.g. citizen interviews, data work in SurveyXact, SQL and Excel, as well as visual presentation in Excel and PowerPoint.
• Citizen involvement – e.g. through focus group interviews and other fieldwork.
• Project development and project management – including planning and conducting processes, workshops and theme days.
• Support for working groups – including meeting preparation and coordination.
• Notes writing and case preparation – mapping information and preparing materials.
• Research and ad hoc tasks – support various projects with relevant research and task solving.

We have high expectations for your engagement and your ability to work independently.

You will thereby build relevant competences that will be valuable for your future job opportunities.
