Can you apply?

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

  • Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.

The job is open to the public, and the announcement says U.S. citizens, nationals, or people who owe allegiance to the U.S. may apply. The conditions of employment also say you must be a U.S. citizen to apply.

What you would do

  • Oversee the daily operation of the social work program.
  • Develop policies and procedures for program operation.
  • Prepare reports and statistics for facility, VISN, and national use.
  • Analyze clinical program data to find trends and needs.
  • Lead, coach, and train assigned staff.
  • Run program audits and productivity assessments.

Do you qualify for GS-12?

With experience: You need at least two years of experience after getting advanced practice clinical licensure, in a specialized area of social work. One of those years must be comparable to GS-11 level work. You must also show skills in program coordination, writing policies, supervising multidisciplinary staff, organizing work, and training others.

With education: You need a master's degree in social work from a school fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). A doctoral degree in social work cannot replace the master's degree.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Independent Clinical License (LCSW)
  • State license or certification at the advanced practice level, with the ability to supervise for licensure

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Long-form resume or curriculum vitae (CV), required
  • Cover letter, if you choose to include one
  • Transcript, if you use education to qualify
  • License and professional certification, if applicable
  • DD-214 or Statement of Service, if applicable
  • SF-50, if you are a current or former federal employee

How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the qualifications listed. Your application, resume, and supporting documents will be verified, and missing or unclear information may lower your rating or make you ineligible.

Tips for this job:

  • The 2-page resume limit does not apply here, so a long-form resume or CV is fine.
  • Show your advanced practice licensure and dates on your resume, since they are part of the qualification.
  • If you use your degree to qualify, include transcripts from CSWE-accredited schools.
