Advocacy & Prevention Specialist (Spanish Speaking)
for each section: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes some EEO-like statements: "PPGNY is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion..." That's maybe boilerplate but it's substantive? It's about diversity commitment. Might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove that diversity statement. Also remove "All positions at PPGNY require: Proof of immunization..." maybe legal/requirement but it's a requirement; it's not boilerplate? It's a requirement for all positions. Might be considered legal. But it's a requirement; we could keep under Requirements? It says "All positions at PPGNY require: Proof of immunization or immunity to certain communicable diseases (including influenza during the flu season and Covid-19) and testing for tuberculosis. These certifications are required by the NYC DOHMH Health Code, NYSDOH and OSHA." That's a requirement. We'll keep it under Requirements.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The position summary, essential duties broken into categories, core competencies, required skills/abilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, typical physical demands, typical working conditions, benefits, schedule.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details but can format as lists.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

We have sections:

Responsibilities: we have essential job duties broken into categories with bullet points. Use
- for each bullet. Could also have subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are
for sections. So within Responsibilities we can just list all duties as list items, preserving the categories maybe as part of text. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can include the category headings as part of list item text (e.g., "DIRECT SERVICES (50%) - Provide direct services in both English and Spanish.") That's okay.
Requirements: includes required skills/abilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, typical physical demands, typical working conditions, immunization requirement. Could be a mix of lists and prose. We'll use - for each bullet/requirement.
