The description includes duties; we can put "Responsibilities" heading with - list. Requirements/Qualifications? There's a Qualifications section; we can put "Qualifications" heading with list. Benefits? There's a Benefits section with list; we can put "Benefits" heading with list. Pay? There's Salary: $17.50-$19 (Paid Training!). Also Sign On Bonus: $1000 for Full Time and $500 for Part Time employees. So we have pay info. Should we create a Pay section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Salary is specific: $17.50-$19 (Paid Training!). Sign on bonus also specific. So we can include a Pay section with that info. Schedule? There's schedule: Sun 9a-4p, Mon 3p-11p, Tues 3p-11p Part Time: 23 Hours. That's specific. So we can include Schedule section. Location? Not required heading; we can embed in a paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include in a paragraph. Also we need to remove boilerplate etc. No navigation etc.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is Direct Support Professional (DSP). Not to repeat.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

Responsibilities
- Advocate and support adults 22 and over with intellectual and developmental disabilities...
... etc.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list responsibilities as bullet points derived from description. Let's extract responsibilities:
- Advocating and supporting adults 22 and over with intellectual and developmental disabilities by empowering them to be as active in their lives as they can.
- Household maintenance
- Meal prep
- Shopping
- Bathing
- Toileting
- Dressing
- Teeth brushing
- Assist to medical appointments
- Banking
- Assist to become active members of their community
- Attend outings
- Administer medications
- Follow Behavior Support Plans, Individual Support Plans and goals
- Follow medical guidelines
- Safely evacuate individuals from the home in the event of an emergency
- Maintain certifications
- Handle job related duties in compliance with Agency policies and follow all DDS regulations/policies
Also training: paid New Employee Orientation, paid CPR/First Aid, Safety Care, Defensive Driving, Medication Administration Program (MAP), program and person specific training at individuals’ home. That could be under Responsibilities or maybe under Benefits? It's training provided; could be under Benefits? But we have Benefits section separate. Might include training under Responsibilities as part of duties? It's more like provided training; could be under Benefits? However Benefits section already lists sign on bonus, insurance, PTO, etc. Training is not a benefit but something provided; could be under Responsibilities as "DSP workers are provided paid New Employee Orientation, paid CPR/First Aid, Safety Care, Defensive Driving, and Medication Administration Program (MAP), as well as program and person specific training at the individuals’ home." That's a statement about what they receive; could be placed under Benefits? But Benefits already has list; we could add training there? However instruction: Benefits section only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits list; training is not a benefit but could be considered a benefit. Safer to put under Responsibilities as a bullet: "Receive paid New Employee Orientation, paid CPR/First Aid, Safety Care, Defensive Driving, Medication Administration Program (MAP), and program/person-specific training."
Qualifications list:
- Commitment to assisting people with varying disabilities to participate fully in their community and in their own lives.
- Varied interests and personal connections in the local community.
- Proven record of conscientious, responsible behavior (work, volunteer or school history).
- Ability to work as a creative, engaged, dedicated member of the team.
We should not add extra.
Now schedule: we have schedule lines.
Pay: salary and sign on bonus.
Location: we can include a short paragraph under About the role or separate? Probably include in About the role paragraph.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap sections in appropriate tags. Use for each heading. Use
for prose. Use
- for lists.
We must not include any extra text outside HTML.
Let's craft.
First, About the role paragraph: combine description sentences: "This open position is in a highly behavioral residential home setting. We are seeking candidates with experience working with behavioral individuals. Location: Southbridge, MA. The Direct Support Professional (DSP) is responsible for advocating and supporting adults 22 and over with intellectual and developmental disabilities by empowering them to be as active in their lives as they can." Might be too long but okay.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not omit location. So include location.
Now Responsibilities list: include all duties.
We need to be careful not to duplicate.
Let's list responsibilities bullet points:
- Advocate and support adults 22 and over with intellectual and developmental disabilities by empowering them to be as active in their lives as they can.
- Assist with household maintenance.
- Assist with meal preparation.
- Assist with shopping.
- Assist with bathing.
- Assist with toileting.
- Assist with dressing.
- Assist with teeth brushing.
- Assist individuals to medical appointments.
- Assist with banking.
- Support individuals to become active members of their community.
- Accompany individuals on outings.
- Administer medications.
- Follow Behavior Support Plans, Individual Support Plans and goals.
- Follow medical guidelines.
- Safely evacuate individuals from the home in the event of an emergency.
- Maintain required certifications.
- Handle job-related duties in compliance with Agency policies and follow all DDS regulations/policies.
- Receive paid New Employee Orientation, paid CPR/First Aid, Safety Care, Defensive Driving, and Medication Administration Program (MAP), as well as program and person-specific training at the individuals’ home.
That covers.
Now Qualifications list:
- Commitment to assisting people with varying disabilities to participate fully in their community and in their own lives.
- Varied interests and personal connections in the local community.
- Proven record of conscientious, responsible behavior (work, volunteer or school history).
- Ability to work as a creative, engaged, dedicated member of the team.
Now Benefits list:
- Sign on Bonus: $1000 for Full Time and $500 for Part Time employees.
- Company paid life insurance for full time employees.
- Health insurance.
- Dental and Vision insurance.
- Earned Paid time off and 40 hours of sick time.
- Employee Referral Bonus program.
- Tuition Remission.
- Supportive and encouraging working environment.
Note: Sign on Bonus already mentioned in Pay; but we can also include in Benefits? Might duplicate. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put sign on bonus in both Pay and Benefits, that's duplication but still preserving. However we might want to avoid duplication but it's okay if we keep both? The instruction didn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However the posting mentions Sign On Bonus under a separate line; we could include it in Pay section (salary and sign on bonus) and not repeat in Benefits. Benefits list currently includes "Sign on Bonus" as first item; we could remove that to avoid duplication. But we need to preserve all substantive information; if we remove it from Benefits, we still have it in Pay, so it's preserved. So we can keep Pay section with salary and sign on bonus, and Benefits without sign on bonus.
Thus Benefits list:
- Company paid life insurance for full time employees.
- Health insurance.
- Dental and Vision insurance.
- Earned Paid time off and 40 hours of sick time.
- Employee Referral Bonus program.
- Tuition Remission.
- Supportive and encouraging working environment.
Now Schedule section: we have schedule.
Now Pay section: salary and sign on bonus.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any empty sections.
