After-School Program Staff Lead
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the description.
The description includes: "About EduCare Foundation" (mission). Then "Position Summary". Then "Why Join EduCare?" (maybe Benefits?). Then "If you are dependable..." (maybe not a section). Then "What You’ll Do" (Responsibilities). Then "Requirements" (Qualifications). Then "What You’ll Bring" (maybe Skills). There's no explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (position summary), "Responsibilities" (What You’ll Do), "Requirements" (Qualifications + Experience + Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities), maybe "Benefits" (Why Join EduCare? includes opportunities). Could also have "About EduCare Foundation" as maybe "About the organization"? But instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map content to those headings.
We have "About EduCare Foundation" which is about organization, not role. Could be considered "About the role"? Probably better to have "About the role" covering Position Summary and maybe mission. But we have separate "Why Join EduCare?" which is benefits.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (not needed). No Job ID.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content:
About EduCare Foundation paragraph: "At EduCare Foundation, we believe that love is the foundation of education and that every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, lead, and thrive.

What You’ll Do: list of responsibilities with subheadings: Site Administration and Compliance, Staff Leadership and Program Support, Temporary Site Coverage, Program Facilitation and Student Engagement, Family, School, and Community Communication, Program Quality and Safety, Supervisory Responsibilities, Additional Responsibilities.
We need to turn these into
- items. Probably each bullet is a responsibility. Could keep subheadings as
maybe? But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can treat each major duty as
- . Could also keep subheadings inside
- as bold? Not needed.
Requirements: includes Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. We'll list as
- .
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. "Why Join EduCare?" includes benefits/opportunities. That's substantive. So we can have a Benefits section with those points.
We should not create Pay or Schedule sections because none.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece.
I'll craft HTML:
About the role
[Position Summary + maybe About EduCare Foundation? Actually About the role could include Position Summary. But we also have About EduCare Foundation separate. Could we make a separate section "About EduCare Foundation"? Not in allowed headings list but we could still use
for any heading? Instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should prefer those headings. It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should stick to those headings. So we can combine About EduCare Foundation and Position Summary under About the role.
Thus About the role paragraph will contain both the mission description and position summary.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties from What You’ll Do.
Then Requirements: maybe combine Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities.
Then Benefits: from Why Join EduCare? plus maybe other benefits? We'll list those.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
