Careers at KOVS:

Imagine being part of a team dedicated to enhancing the lives of our nation's Veterans. At KOVS, our services make a meaningful difference to Veterans and their families across the state—whether it's offering care to those living in our Veterans’ Homes, conducting respectful ceremonies at our Veteran Cemeteries, or assisting Veterans in determining their eligibility for federal and state benefits.

We are focused on building a diverse and skilled workforce that mirrors the values of the Veteran community, embracing qualities such as leadership, accountability, community, integrity, and teamwork.

Our central office is located in Topeka, supported by field offices with Veteran Service Representatives (VSR) who help Veterans determine their eligibility for benefits (please visit the Veteran Services section of our website for office locations). We also operate two Veterans Homes in Kansas—one in Dodge City and another in Winfield. Additionally, we manage four Veterans Cemeteries in Fort Dodge, WaKeeney, Winfield, and Manhattan/Fort Riley.
