PROVIDENCE – More than 20 types of positions are open at the VA New England Healthcare System, ranging from physicians to food-service workers.
Both temporary and permanent jobs are available, and those who work for at least 120 days are eligible for federal employee health benefits.
A full listing of open positions can be found at vacareers.va.gov.
The hiring wave comes at a time when VA New England Healthcare is trying to shore up its medical resources amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
The system is also courting recent health care retirees for its response to the virus, offering dual compensation waivers for appointments of a year or less. The waivers allow workers to receive annuities along with full compensation.
Four-month stints in the VA’s Travel Nurse Corps are available as well. The Corps offers nurse practitioners and registered nurses the chance to work on short-term assignments at VA medical centers across the country.
