Job Posting: Armed Forces Retirement Home

The federally-run veterans retirement facility in Washington, DC, is seeking an Ombudsman. There is some ambiguity within the posting. The top-line description for the position is for a Classical, Long-Term Care Ombudsman: "The Ombudsman is a senior advocate for unresolved resident issues." The more detailed list of duties is consistent with an Organizational Ombuds: "Provide residents with confidential, informal and impartial assistance and serves as an advocate for fairness for residents seeking answers to unresolved questions, providing a mechanism for problem resolution after considering all sides of an issue in an informed and unbiased fashion."

Per governing legislation, the position must be a member of the Armed Forces serving on active duty in the grade of Sergeant Major, Master Chief Petty Officer or Chief Master Sergeant, or a member or former member retired in that grade, and have appropriate leadership and management skills. Applicants must also be U.S. Citizens or Nationals. The GS-13 equivalent position pays $112,015 - $145,617 per year and applications are due by April 28, 2023. (USA Jobs.)
