You also can apply specifically for positions in Boston. Transferring between locations is easy and you’ll take all of your benefits with you, including accumulated paid time off.
“VA depends on our housekeeping staff to keep our medical centers and outpatient clinics clean and safe for those providing and receiving care,” said Darren Sherrard, associate director of VA recruitment marketing. “Now more than ever, we are grateful to those who show up every day to perform the vital tasks without which our facilities could not operate.”
Enjoy excellent benefits
As a VA housekeeping aide, you’ll receive:
- Paid vacation time that starts building right away, paid sick leave and 10 paid federal holidays.
- Comprehensive health insurance, including dental and vision care, which may become effective on the first full pay period after you start your job.

Guess what boys and girls, about 3 years ago when I was discriminated against in hiring and went through mediation the woman setting up the median meeting told me that I would probably just be given a janitor job (or food service job) because they always need those people. I asked her how I was supposed to do either of those jobs since I walk with a cane and after a minutes pause she said :You can lean on the mop”. the va people at the mediation told me they didn’t have ANY jobs available. So now they do? Well, as far as I’m concerned they can take their mops and put them where the sun doesn’t shine.
