Government jobs? (leddit.danmark.party)

Hi folks,

Me, my wife and 2 year old are considering DK as a potential location to relocate to, we are UK based (sadly non-EU passport holders!).

I work within HR (Business Partnering) within the Public Sector, my partner is a Teacher (English).

Do 'government jobs' exist in DK and how do they vary in terms of salary, benefits etc compared to private sector?

Here in the UK there are big differences but they are very flexible, especially with reduced hours e.g. 4 day working week, which is something I'd like to continue.

Any guidance on this and where to find vacancies would be appreciated!

Thank you 🙏

My suggestion would be looking into some of the governmental departments.

Banedanmark handles railway infrastructure and has several sections where English is the work language next to Danish and they have some nice benefits, especially for families:

Paid maternity leave, flex hours, physiotherapy, paid lunch break amongst others. Pay is decent, but will practically always be better in the private sector. HR would require proficiency in Danish though.

The Copenhagen Municipality is currently undergoing an experiment with a 4 day working week.

Joining a union and an unemployment insurance fund(A-kasse) is also essential for a healthy work-life in my opinion. I suggest checking them out as they should also have a guide in English about the Danish work market and all its details.

The other esteemed gentlepeople in here have already described some of the more "practical issues" of moving to Denmark, so I will not repeat them here. I will repeat that learning Danish as soon as possible is paramount.

I wish your family the best of luck!
