The U.S. Department of the Army has posted two civilian Social Worker openings under its Medical Command, one for substance‑abuse services and another for family advocacy.

Both positions are being filled through Direct Hire Authority, a hiring mechanism that speeds up federal recruitment compared with standard competitive processes.

The Substance Abuse Social Worker vacancy opened for applications on 17 February 2026 and will remain open until 16 February 2027.

The Family Advocacy Social Worker posting began accepting applications on 11 May 2026 and closes on 10 November 2026.

Candidates must submit their applications through the federal government’s USAJOBS portal, where the full job announcements, duties and qualification requirements are posted.

Both vacancies are listed as continuous announcements, meaning applications may be reviewed and positions filled on a rolling basis rather than waiting for the closing date.

The Substance Abuse role is advertised for multiple locations across the United States, while the Family Advocacy posting includes Miami‑Dade County, Florida, among its listed sites.

Applicants are advised to apply early, as early submissions may be considered before the positions are filled, though selection is not guaranteed.
