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.
  • Displaced federal employeesFederal employees who lost or are losing their job through a reduction in force (CTAP, ICTAP, RPL).

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 U.S. national, or owe allegiance to the U.S. Displaced federal employees may get priority under CTAP or ICTAP career transition programs.

  • Lead at least three housekeeping employees in their daily work.
  • Pass instructions from the supervisor to employees and check completed work.
  • Coordinate projects with nurses and other area supervisors.
  • Train employees in proper cleaning procedures and safety practices.
  • Report employee progress and policy violations to the supervisor.
  • Clean hospital areas such as surgery, clinics, patient rooms, and restrooms.

Do you qualify for WL-2?

With experience: No set number of years or grade level is stated. You must show training or experience that fits the work, described in detail on your resume. Applicants are rated under the OPM Federal Wage System Qualification Standards, which are the pay and rating rules for trade and labor jobs.

With education: This job does not have an education qualification requirement.

How to apply well

What to send:

  • Resume of two pages or less, 5MB or smaller
  • Cover letter (accepted, not required)
  • DD-214 or Statement of Service, if you have military service
  • SF-50 or SF-15, if you are a current or former federal employee
  • Performance appraisal (accepted, not required)
  • Separation notice (RIF) or ICTAP/CTAP documentation, if you claim displaced employee priority
  • VA disability letter (accepted, not required)

How you will be rated: Applicants first answer an online questionnaire, and the VA checks minimum qualifications and eligibility. Those who qualify are rated on dexterity and safety, interpreting instructions, leading or supervising, using tools and equipment, and work practices. The VA will not assume experience, so vague resumes can lose credit.

Tips for this job:

  • Describe each past job with duties, dates, and hours per week, because the VA will not assume your experience.
  • Keep your resume to two pages or less, since longer resumes make you ineligible.
  • If you claim displaced federal employee priority, attach your ICTAP or CTAP paperwork and a separation notice or SF-50 before the 11:59 PM EST deadline on 11/06/2026.
