From disability and other types of compensation to home loans and education, Veterans can connect with VBA to take advantage of the benefits they’ve earned.
VBA offers many opportunities to Veterans looking for new ways to serve, or people who want to give back to those who defended our freedom. These rewarding careers offer competitive salaries, retirement plans, and paid leave.
Veterans Canteen Service
Start your career at the Veterans Canteen Service (VCS), where you’ll contribute to the comfort and well-being of Veterans enrolled in VA health care. Every day, you’ll have the honor of serving the best customers — America’s Veterans.
VCS is hiring dedicated, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic staff to work in retail stores, cafés, and coffee shops in VA facilities across the country. Enjoy a starting salary of $15.75 per hour or more and extensive employee benefits.
For me, and for a lot of the people that work for the canteen service, it’s a way of giving back. Giving back to our nation’s heroes, giving back to the medical center staff, just helping and being a servant leader.
