SöderS is the student union at Södertörn University. We are a non-profit association organisation which, every year, brings together thousands of members and hundreds of student representatives in our work to ensure high-quality education and legal certainty.
SöderS is the umbrella organisation for student life on campus; we bring together and support the students, and also run a student pub, a bookshop, a student radio station and exchange programmes.
SöderS is managed by a board consisting of elected student representatives chosen in the the annual meeting elections. The board is supported by a secretariat which handles the operational side of the organisation. The SöderS secretariat comprises four full-time staff members, all of whom work both independently and as a team. The SöderS secretariat is a workplace where we believe it is important to prioritise recovery, to help one another and to have fun at work. We believe that everyone should be given the space to develop and to play an active role in shaping both their professional role and the organisation’s development.

SöderS can offer a small workplace with fun, educational and important tasks. Everyone who works at the student union has a different educational background; human resources, gender studies, environment and development, education, cultural anthropology, human rights, international migration and ethnic relations, and teacher training are a few examples. We can take on several interns at the same time from the same or different programmes. The internship can always be tailored to needs, requirements and interests.

Supervision is primarily provided by SöderS' Secretary-General and other employees who work closely with the tasks and projects that will be relevant.
