More ways to work at VA
There’s more to VA than our health care system. Explore other ways you can serve Veterans in a job that comes with the same rewards and excellent employment benefits you’ve come to expect from VA.
Veterans Benefits Administration
The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) provides benefits and services to Veterans and their families, from disability and other types of compensation to home loans and education. VBA also offers many opportunities to Veterans looking for new ways to serve, or people who want to give back to those who defended our freedom.
National Cemetery Administration
Through the National Cemetery Administration (NCA), VA operates more than 140 national cemeteries and 33 soldiers’ lots and monument sites across the United States. Some ways to work with NCA include cemetery representative, cemetery administrator, and management-level positions.
Veterans Canteen Service
Start your career at the Veterans Canteen Service (VCS), supporting the comfort and well-being of Veterans enrolled in VA health care. VCS is hiring dedicated, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic staff to work in retail stores, cafés, and coffee shops in VA facilities, offering competitive starting salaries and extensive employee benefits.
U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps
The USPHS Commissioned Corps is made up of medical, health, and engineering professionals who fight disease, conduct research, and care for patients in underserved communities across the nation. Through a partnership with VA, USPHS physicians, psychologists, nurses, physician assistants, social workers, and medical technologists can work at select VA facilities across the nation. USPHS Commissioned Corps Officers interested in learning about current opportunities with VA should contact the USPHS Liaisons to the VA at: USPHSLiaisonOfficers@va.gov
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.
