Activity Therapist
for each section heading.
Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. The posting includes "We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities..." that's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "While this job description is intended to be an accurate reflection..." that's a disclaimer; maybe remove as boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a generic statement; might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The disclaimer about management reserves right to add or remove duties is maybe legal; could be removed. Safer to remove it. Also "AHMKT" at end is likely a code; remove.
We need to keep all substantive info: mission, description, essential functions, other functions, education/experience/skill, licenses, benefits, pay, schedule.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine mission paragraph and the "Join our team as an Activity Therapist..." paragraph.

Pay: includes "$2,500 Sign-on!" and maybe also mention competitive compensation? But we already have competitive compensation in Benefits. However Pay section could focus on sign-on bonus. The instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state "$2,500 Sign-on!" So we can include that. Also maybe mention "Competitive compensation with industry leading annual performance-based bonus opportunity" but that's already in Benefits; but we could still include in Pay as part of compensation. However to avoid duplication, we could keep Pay just about sign-on bonus. But we might also include the performance-based bonus opportunity in Pay. However the Benefits list already includes that line; we could keep it there and not duplicate. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put the competitive compensation line in Benefits, we still preserve it. If we also put it in Pay, that would be duplication but not prohibited? It says remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid duplicating the same line. So we will keep competitive compensation line in Benefits (as it's part of Why Join). Pay section will only have the sign-on bonus.
Thus Pay:
$2,500 sign-on bonus.
maybe.

We removed the line: "While this job description is intended to be an accurate reflection of the requirements of the job, management reserves the right to add or remove duties from particular jobs when circumstances (e.g. emergencies, changes in workload, rush jobs or technological developments) dictate." That's boilerplate legal; remove.
