Do you qualify for GS-13?

With experience: You need one year of experience at the GS-12 level, the level just below this job. Qualifying experience includes running a specialty program, such as being the main provider in a program, overseeing daily operations, writing program policies, and preparing reports. Current VHA employees in this occupation may qualify under a grandfathering provision if they meet the criteria.

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

Licenses and certifications you need:

  • Full, unrestricted state license to independently practice social work at the master's degree level

How to apply well

What to send:

  • License showing your full, unrestricted state social work license
  • Long-form resume or curriculum vitae (CV); the 2-page resume limit does not apply
  • Transcript, required if you use your education to qualify
  • DD-214 or Statement of Service, if you claim veterans' preference
  • Cover letter, if you choose to include one

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

Tips for this job:

  • Use a long-form resume or CV that lists exact dates, hours per week and duties for your GS-12 level program work, because your experience will be verified.
  • If you use your education to qualify, upload your transcript with your application and make sure your degree is from a CSWE-accredited school.
  • Confirm your state social work license is full and unrestricted, and upload a copy, because it is required.
