About The Position
This Telephone Operator position is within Health Administration Services at the San Juan VA Healthcare System and includes several Community Based Outpatient Clinics. The role is a front-line point of access for patients and the community, managing external calls to the facility and internal telephone transfers between services. This is not a virtual position; applicants must live within or be willing to relocate within a commutable distance of the duty location. The operator handles a full range of local and long-distance calls using a Veteran-centered customer service approach, responds to high call volumes and simultaneous situations, and assists visitors at the Information Desk with facility information and directions. The role also involves monitoring the Patient Assistance Alarm Board, reporting alarms and emergencies, making urgent overhead announcements, and reporting telephone trouble to the appropriate personnel. The regular schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. As operations expand, the schedule is expected to include rotation, shift work, weekends, and holidays; applicants must be available to work these schedules as operational needs require. Recruitment and relocation incentives are not authorized, and the Critical Skills Incentive is not approved.
