We are looking for a student assistant for a project related to gender equality at the service administration. The administration has previously worked in this area and will strengthen its efforts further through a mandate from the service committee.

In this role, you will work closely with the project leader and play a central role in planning and implementing initiatives to increase gender equality and inclusion within the service administration. The initiatives will be planned and executed together with the project’s working group and relevant departments.

During your time with us, you will be placed in the HR department, with the opportunity to gain insight into the work that takes place in an HR department.
