Adolescent & Family Services Clinician
About the role
with paragraph(s) summarizing. - Responsibilities: There's a "Responsibilities" heading in the posting with bullet list. We'll extract bullet points. - Qualifications: There's a "Qualifications" heading with bullet list. - Benefits: There's a "Benefits" heading with bullet list. - Pay: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "Competitive Salary" under Benefits but not a specific number. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits we have. Pay: not specific salary figure, just "Competitive Salary" which is vague but maybe considered stating? It says "Competitive Salary" under Benefits bullet. That is a statement about pay but not a specific amount. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Salary" as a benefit. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Since they mention Competitive Salary, we could include a Pay section with that statement? But they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to include Pay only if there is explicit salary range or number. Since it's just "Competitive Salary" which is vague, maybe we should not create Pay section. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Competitive Salary, which is a statement about pay. But they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." I'd lean to not create Pay section because it's not specific. However the Benefits section already includes "Competitive Salary" as a bullet. So we can keep Benefits and not separate Pay. - Schedule: The posting ends with "Weekdays - 10am to 6pm, (2) Weekdays - 12pm to 8pm, two of these are remote days." That's schedule info. So we should include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points from Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, and schedule details.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO Info and Limitations and Disclaimer, and a link. We must remove those.
Also remove duplicated lines: there are some duplicated sentences like "Coordinate integrated services with medical, mental health, vocational, recovery services, and other social service providers." appears twice. We should keep only one instance? The instruction: "Remove ... duplicated lines". So we should deduplicate.
Also there is duplicated line: "Coordinate integrated services with medical, mental health, housing, vocational, recovery services, and other social service providers." Slight variation (housing vs vocational). Actually first: "Coordinate integrated services with medical, mental health, vocational, recovery services, and other social service providers." Later: "Coordinate integrated services with medical, mental health, housing, vocational, recovery services, and other social service providers." Slightly different (includes housing). We should keep both? They are not exact duplicates; one includes housing. We'll keep both as they add info.
Also there is duplicated line: "Specimen collection for clients and monitors for treatment-related issues in order to update the treatment plan (Substance Use treatment track)" and "Check the toxicology reporting portal daily to ensure any positive toxicology reports are communicated to supervisory staff, documented, and addressed with the client (Substance Use treatment track)". Those are separate.
We need to preserve all substantive info.

Interpretation: maybe two shift options: Weekdays 10am-6pm, and Weekdays 12pm-8pm, two of these are remote days. We'll keep as a paragraph.
Now About the role: We need to capture the descriptive paragraphs before Responsibilities.
The posting starts with a lot of organizational description. Then: "We are seeking an experienced Adolescent and Family Clinician who will provide specialized clinical counseling to adolescents (ages 12-21) and their families in a NYS OASAS-certified outpatient treatment program, with a primary focus on adolescent substance use, co-occurring mental health concerns, and family systems. Utilizing a person-centered, trauma-informed, and developmentally responsive lens, individualized assessment and counseling services are delivered both in person and virtually. The clinician in this role will also carry a secondary caseload of adult clients and provide support to significant others and family members across treatment tracks."
We should include that as About the role. Also maybe include the earlier organizational description? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The About the role section should contain substantive info about the role. The earlier paragraphs about Educational Alliance mission could be considered background but not directly about the role. However they are substantive info about the organization; but the instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should keep that info somewhere. Where to put? Could be part of About the role as a preamble. The About the role section can include both organization description and role specifics. That seems okay.
Thus About the role paragraph(s) will include the organizational description plus the role specifics.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, Limitations and Disclaimer, link, etc.
