  • Agency employees onlyOnly current employees of the hiring agency.

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

The job is open to U.S. citizens, nationals, and people who owe allegiance to the U.S. Non-citizens may be appointed only when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens. Current federal employees of the hiring agency may also apply under the internal listing.

  • Lead a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, social workers, nurses and physicians.
  • Develop, implement and oversee policies and procedures for the treatment team.
  • Conduct ongoing program evaluation and quality improvement projects.

Do you qualify for VM-15?

With experience: Three years of managerial experience in mental health and five years of mental health experience in general are preferred, not required. The announcement does not give a grade level for experience.

With education: You need a doctor of medicine (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) degree from a school approved by VA and the accrediting bodies named in the announcement. You also need residency training in an accredited core specialty program that leads to board certification eligibility.

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a U.S. state, territory, commonwealth or the District of Columbia

How to apply well

What to send:

  • CV and/or resume (the 2-page resume limit does not apply)
  • DD-214 showing dates and character of service, if you claim veterans' preference
  • SF-15 with proof, if you claim 10-point preference as a disabled veteran or eligible family member
  • Other documents may be requested later in the process

How you will be rated: You will be evaluated on how well you meet the listed qualifications. Your application, resume, CV and supporting documents will be verified, and errors or omissions may affect your consideration. Veterans and preference-eligible candidates get preference when qualifications are approximately equal.

Tips for this job:

  • Make sure your application clearly shows your medical degree, residency training and current license, since these are basic requirements.
  • Claim veterans' preference in the questionnaire and send your DD-214 if you qualify, because it is not counted without documents.
  • If you want the EDRP student loan benefit, plan to submit the EDRP application within four months of appointment.
