On-sitePart-time
We need to output HTML fragment only, with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections when posting has real specific content. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Title: Adult Day Services (ADS) Specialist First paragraph: "For more than 50 years, Active Generations has been a trusted leader..." That's about the organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe about the position. But we have a summary: "As the ADS Specialist, you will be responsible for facilitating the program's scheduled activities and assisting participants with their needs." That's about the role. We need sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education & experience), Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills & abilities), Skills (maybe knowledge, skills & abilities again?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. From posting: - About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph about organization and mission? Might be considered "About the role". But we have a summary: "As the ADS Specialist, you will be responsible for facilitating the program's scheduled activities and assisting participants with their needs." That's more like a summary of role. Could be placed under About the role. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (multiple bullet-like sentences). We'll turn each into

  • . - Requirements: Education & Experience: "High School Diploma or GED CNA is not required, but is a perk. First Aid and CPR Certification". That's requirements. - Qualifications: Could be "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities": Experience working with older adults..., Creative and detail-oriented..., Collaborative..., Willing to learn..., Comfortable receiving feedback... That's qualifications/skills. - Skills: Might duplicate knowledge, skills & abilities. But we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could merge Knowledge, Skills & Abilities into Skills section, or Qualifications. But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include Qualifications and Skills separately if there is distinct content. However the posting lumps knowledge, skills & abilities together. Could split: Qualifications = Education & Experience? Actually Education & Experience is more like Requirements. Qualifications could be "Knowledge, Skills & Abilities". Skills could be maybe "Physical Requirements & Working Conditions"? But that's not skills. Could treat Physical Requirements as Skills? Not ideal. Better: Use sections: - About the role (summary + organization mission) - Responsibilities (Essential Functions) - Requirements (Education & Experience + First Aid/CPR) - Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities) - Skills (maybe we could omit if no distinct content). But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content. If we don't have distinct content for Skills, we should omit it. Similarly Benefits, Pay, Schedule: posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule. So we omit those sections. Thus we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Check if any other content like "LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT: Reports to: ..." That's maybe part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be included under Requirements (reporting line). But it's not essential. Could be included under About the role? Might be considered part of role details. But we can include under Requirements as additional info (like "Reports to: ADS Program Manager or Sr. ADS Operations Manager. Direct reports: None.") That's not a requirement but organizational detail. Could be placed under About the role. Also "ACCOMMODATION: ..." is boilerplate EEO; we should remove. Thus final HTML:

    About the role

    For more than 50 years, Active Generations has been a trusted leader in supporting adults through wellness programs, essential services, and meaningful community connections. With a growing team across multiple locations, we continue to evolve and expand our impact while staying grounded in our mission. Our work centers on creating environments where people can thrive—physically, socially, and emotionally. Through wellness and nutrition programs, caregiving services, and opportunities for connection, our team works together to promote active lifestyles and overall well-being. We’re guided by teamwork, compassion, and adaptability, and we’re looking for individuals who want their work to have genuine purpose and lasting impact. As the ADS Specialist, you will be responsible for facilitating the program's scheduled activities and assisting participants with their needs.

    But note we already used summary sentence; we might duplicate. Could combine. Better: About the role paragraph includes organization description and summary of role. Then Responsibilities:

    Responsibilities

    • Facilitate activity groups as scheduled and get participants to and from assigned activities.
    • Perform personal care, including toileting and showers as needed, housekeeping, and dietary responsibilities.
    • Ensure shift duties are completed and service quality is maintained in accordance with Active Generations standards.
    • Maintain participant records, including monthly charting and incident reporting.
    • Assist with participants’ nutritional needs while at Day Break, being aware of each participant's dietary restrictions.
    • Collaborate with the management team to assess participant needs and contribute to care plans.
    • Communicate effectively with team members regarding participant changes and concerns.
    • Demonstrate respect, dignity, and confidentiality for all participants and staff.
    • Adhere to professional boundaries and service excellence standards.
    • Participate in professional development through staff meetings, in-services, and relevant educational opportunities.
    Requirements:

    Requirements

    • High School Diploma or GED.
    • CNA certification is not required but is a perk.
    • First Aid and CPR Certification.
    Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities):

    Qualifications

    • Experience working with older adults or adults with physical or cognitive impairments is preferred.
    • Creative and detail‑oriented, with strong communication and organizational skills.
    • Collaborative and team‑focused.
    • Willing to learn and take initiative.
    • Comfortable receiving feedback and revising work.
    We could also include Physical Requirements & Working Conditions as a separate section maybe under Skills? But not requested. Could add a section "Skills" for physical requirements? But the instruction says use sections only when posting has real specific content. Physical requirements are specific content. Could be placed under Skills? But Skills heading is for skills, not physical demands. However we could treat Physical Requirements as part of Qualifications? Might be better to add a section "Skills" for physical requirements? But that seems off. Alternatively we could add a section "Skills" for knowledge, skills & abilities, and move Qualifications to something else? But we already used Qualifications for knowledge, skills & abilities. The instruction list includes both Qualifications and Skills; we can decide to put knowledge, skills & abilities under Qualifications, and maybe put Physical Requirements under Skills. However Skills usually refers to abilities like communication, etc. Physical requirements are not skills. But we could still put them under Skills as they are abilities. Might be acceptable. But we need to avoid thin sections. If we add Skills with just physical requirements, that's okay if it's substantive. Let's see physical requirements content: "Ability to frequently stand, walk, bend, reach, kneel, and move throughout program areas. Ability to safely assist participants with activities of daily living (ADLs), including toileting, showering, transfers, and mobility support. Ability to lift, transfer, push, or pull up to 50 pounds occasionally and 25 pounds frequently, using proper body mechanics and assistive devices as needed. Ability to complete documentation and operate computers or tablets, requiring fine motor skills and visual focus. Ability to communicate effectively, observe participant safety and behavior, and respond appropriately in urgent or emergency situations. This position is in person and involves frequent interaction with individuals with varying physical and cognitive support needs. Regular exposure to personal care tasks and bodily fluids; appropriate training and personal protective equipment (PPE) are provided. Fast-paced, team-oriented setting requiring attention to participant safety, dignity, and quality of care, with moderate noise and frequent interruptions. Participation in staff meetings, training, and professional development is expected; schedules may be adjusted based on program or staffing needs." That's substantive. Could be placed under Skills. But we already used Skills for knowledge, skills & abilities. Could combine both? Might be too long but okay. Better: Use Skills section for both knowledge, skills & abilities and physical requirements? But then we would have duplicate content? We could split: Qualifications for education & experience? Actually we already used Requirements for education & experience. Qualifications for knowledge, skills & abilities. Skills for physical requirements & working conditions. That seems logical. Thus we will have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (Education & Experience) - Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities) - Skills (Physical Requirements & Working Conditions) We omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Accommodation" etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any repeated lines: We must preserve all substantive information. Did we miss any? Let's review original text: - Intro paragraph about Active Generations (mission). Included in About the role. - Summary: "As the ADS Specialist, you will be responsible for facilitating the program's scheduled activities and assisting participants with their needs." Included in About the role (we added that sentence at end). Good. - ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: list of responsibilities. We captured each bullet. - EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE: High School Diploma or GED; CNA is not required, but is a perk; First Aid and CPR Certification. We captured. - KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES: Experience working with older adults or adults with physical or cognitive impairments is preferred. Creative and detail-oriented, with strong communication and organizational skills. Collaborative and team-focused. Willing to learn and take initiative. Comfortable receiving feedback and revising work. We captured. - PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & WORKING CONDITIONS: long paragraph. We captured in Skills. - LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT: Reports to: ADS Program Manager or Sr. ADS Operations Manager. Direct reports: None. We haven't included this. Should we include? It's substantive info about reporting line. Could be placed under About the role or Requirements. Since we have no specific section for leadership, we could add a sentence in About the role: "Reports to the ADS Program Manager or Sr. ADS Operations Manager; no direct reports." Or we could add a separate section but not in list. Better to incorporate into About the role. - ACCOMMODATION: EEO boilerplate; remove. Thus we need to add reporting line. Add to About the role paragraph: maybe after mission description: "The ADS Specialist reports to the ADS Program Manager or Sr. ADS Operations Manager and has no direct reports." Now check if any other content: "Participate in professional development through staff meetings, in-services, and relevant educational opportunities." Already in Responsibilities. All good. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use

    for each heading. Use
    • for lists. Use

      for prose. We have About the role as a paragraph (maybe multiple sentences). Use

      . Responsibilities as

        . Requirements as
          . Qualifications as
            . Skills as
              (physical requirements). Could be multiple
            • sentences; we can break into separate list
