Also remove "Explore more details on the Benefits of Working at HHS webpage." maybe keep as part of benefits? It's a link reference; we can keep as prose but not as instruction. Probably keep as part of benefits description.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from Brief Job Description). Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions). Requirements (Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications, Initial Screening Criteria, Additional Information maybe). Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills And Abilities).

About the role
Come work in an environment where we truly value and respect those we serve and believe in the mission that all people can achieve a higher level of wellness and independence. The state supported living centers serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are medically fragile or who have behavioral problems. The centers provide campus-based direct services and supports at 13 centers located throughout the state. Learn About Our State Supported Living Centers If you are looking for a place to work where you can establish a career that is filled with purpose, this is the job for you! The Advanced Practice RN is hired by the Medical Director subject to the approval of the Lubbock State Supported Living Center (SSLC) Director. Oversees and performs advanced clinical medical care under the supervision of a physician. Assesses, plans, and provides comprehensive patient care independently or in collaboration with other health care professionals. Directs medical activities/treatment, monitors trends and activities, and makes recommendations for improvement. Utilizes advanced nursing skills in the treatment and care of patients to include medical assessments, limited prescriptive authority, and the evaluation of the efficacy and progress of a patient's individualized care plan. Provides treatment to HHS employees injured in course and scope of employment. Performs all other duties as assigned by the Medical Director/Facility Director, including planning, assigning, and/or supervising the work of others. Works under the clinical and administrative supervision of the Medical Director and/or other supervising physician. Works under minimal supervision, with extensive latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment. This position may be eligible to earn additional pay for work performed on evenings, nights and/or weekends.
But note that some of that is also in Essential Job Functions. Might duplicate. Better to keep About the role as brief description (first paragraph before Essential Job Functions). The "Brief Job Description" includes the first few sentences up to "Learn About Our State Supported Living Centers". Then after that there is more description about role. We could combine but risk duplication. However instructions: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in original? But we should avoid repeating same sentences verbatim? Not prohibited. But better to split: About the role = Brief Job Description (first paragraph). Responsibilities = Essential Job Functions (EJFs). Requirements = Registrations, Licensure Requirements Or Certifications + Initial Screening Criteria + Additional Information (maybe). Qualifications = Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSAs). Skills maybe not needed separately.
Let's extract each.
