We can present as paragraph.
Schedule section:
"This position requires the employee to be in the office and or customer-facing for all hours worked." plus "Candidates must be flexible and able to work all shifts, including starting as early as 6 am and finishing as late as 7 pm, working weekends and holidays. Shelter Associates are assigned on any shift, with any combination of days off, determined by the needs of the Department."
Combine.

"We Require Two years of working or volunteer experience with domestic animals in an animal welfare organization, veterinary facility, humane society, or similar animal care facility One year of in-person customer service work experience High school diploma or GED A combination of post-secondary education and/or job-related experience may substitute for the minimum qualifications on a year-for-year basis"
Other Requirements (flexibility, euthanasia team) could be part of Requirements or separate. Since we have Requirements heading, we can include all mandatory requirements.
Qualifications maybe not needed separate if we already have Requirements. But we could have Qualifications for education? However we already have education in Requirements. To avoid thin sections, we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Requirements section. But the instruction says use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for Requirements (experience, education). We could also have Qualifications (maybe none separate). Better to have Requirements covering both.
Skills section: "We Also Value" list.
Responsibilities: "Job Contributions" list.
Working Conditions maybe could be part of Responsibilities or separate section? There's no heading for Working Conditions in allowed list; we could put under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role? But we have to follow allowed headings only: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit Working Conditions into one of those, perhaps Responsibilities (since it's about job environment) or maybe under About the role. I'd put under Responsibilities as additional details.
