1 vacancy (this announcement may also be used to fill additional vacancies)

Can you apply?

Yes, if you are a U.S. citizen: this job is open to everyone.

  • Displaced federal employeesFederal employees who lost or are losing their job through a reduction in force (CTAP, ICTAP, RPL).
  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

Other groups listed above may get extra consideration, for example veterans' preference.

The job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, a national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Career transition applicants (CTAP or ICTAP) and displaced federal employees get priority over other applicants.

What you would do

  • Follow verbal and written instructions from your supervisor.
  • Scrub, strip, wax, and polish floors; sweep, mop, and vacuum.
  • Clean and disinfect using aseptic techniques and standard precautions.
  • Handle infectious and non-infectious waste safely.
  • Operate floor scrubbers, buffers, and vacuums and do minor repairs.
  • Teach others how to use floor scrubbers, buffers, and vacuums.

Do you qualify for WL-2?

With experience: No specific number of years is required. You must show training or experience that gives you the skills to do this work, and you must describe it in detail on your resume. Volunteer work counts.

With education: This job has no education requirement.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume showing job title, duties, start and end dates (month/year), and average hours per week
  • Resume of two pages or less
  • Cover letter (optional, accepted)
  • DD-214 or Statement of Service, if you are a veteran
  • SF-50 and ICTAP/CTAP documentation, if you claim career transition priority

How you will be rated: You answer an occupational questionnaire. Question 1 is a screen-out question, and applicants who do not meet the minimum are removed. Those who pass are rated on dexterity and safety, interpreting instructions, leading or supervising, using and maintaining tools and equipment, and work practices. Applicants who do not submit required documents are found ineligible.

Tips for this job:

  • Give your hours per week for each job on your resume, or it may be judged incomplete.
  • Keep your resume to two pages or less, or you will be found ineligible.
  • Describe your floor-equipment and cleaning experience clearly, because the VA will not assume what you can do.
