OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about Lexington Health (company overview) and Job Summary. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. We have: - About the role: Could be the Job Summary and description of role. That is substantive. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions" and "Duties & Responsibilities" sections. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, Required Certifications/Licensure, etc. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we can combine. - Skills: Not explicitly listed but could be implied from duties (communication, prioritization, etc). Might be better to not create a Skills section unless explicit. - Benefits: The paragraph about benefits (Day ONE medical, dental, life insurance, FSAs, 403(b) match, employer paid life insurance, supplemental life, adoption assistance, disability coverage, tuition reimbursement, student loan forgiveness). That's specific. - Pay: Not mentioned. No pay info. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: The posting says "ACO Full Time Day Shift 0800-1630". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "ACO Full Time Day Shift 0800-1630"? Actually the title maybe "ACO Full Time Day Shift 0800-1630"? The posting starts with that line. We should not repeat it. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes an Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph at end; we must remove that. Also "Nearest Major Market: Columbia Nearest Secondary Market: South Carolina" maybe considered metadata; could be folded into a short p or dropped. Probably we can include as a short p under About the role? But it's not essential; we could drop as minor metadata. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can drop that line. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:
