Animal Services Assistant

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Let's see what the posting includes: - Job location: "15750 E 32nd Ave Aurora, Colorado 80011-1518 City of Aurora, Colorado". That's location info. - Intro paragraph: "It is an exciting time to work for the City of Aurora..." includes core values, why work for Aurora (list of benefits). That includes benefits: "Make a difference in the lives of real people every day Diverse community Competitive total compensation package Well-Funded General Employees Retirement Plan Light rail station minutes away On-site fitness center and overall employee well-being programs Internal educational programs to assist with career advancement Access to innovation workspaces". Those are benefits. - Salary: "Salary to be commensurate with experience The hiring range for this position is $19.08 - $23.85/hour". So Pay section: we have a range. Also "Salary to be commensurate with experience" is filler but we have actual range. Should we include Pay section? Yes, because posting states salary range. The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we have actual range, so we can include Pay section with that range. Also we have schedule? Not mentioned. No schedule info. So no Schedule section. - Benefits: we have list above. So Benefits section. - About the role: maybe overview paragraph: "Overview Of Position / Department The City of Aurora is seeking a skilled Animal Services Assistant to provide humane care and treatment for sheltered animals. This position will be cleaning and maintaining kennel facilities while helping patrons." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: "Primary Duties & Responsibilities" then a long list of duties. So Responsibilities section. - Requirements: maybe "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" etc. Could be Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have Minimum Qualifications & Working Conditions (education, experience, preferred qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, licenses, working conditions). That could be split into Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (preferred?), Skills (skills list), maybe also Licenses And Certifications. But we must not invent sections; we need to map content to these headings. We have: - Education: High School Diploma or GED - Experience: One year of animal related experience or customer service experience - Preferred Qualifications: One year of experience working in an animal shelter; Euthanasia Certification within one year - Knowledge: General knowledge of companion animal welfare, breeds and species - Skills: Animal handling skills; Providing friendly customer service; Excellent interpersonal communication skills; Strong attention to detail - Abilities: Establish and maintain effective working relationships... etc. - Licenses And Certifications Required: Valid Colorado Driver’s License - Working Conditions: Essential Personnel..., Physical Demands..., Work Environment..., Equipment Used..., etc. We also have "The city of Aurora will implement furlough days (unpaid days off) for most employees in 2026. The scheduled furlough dates are January 16, April 10, July 2, and December 24." That's a benefit? Actually it's a negative (unpaid days off). Might be considered as part of benefits? Probably not; it's a policy. Could be included in Benefits? Might be considered as a drawback but still info. The rule: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that info somewhere. Perhaps under Benefits? But it's not a benefit; it's a policy. Could be under "About the role" or a separate section? There's no heading for policies. Could we add a section like "Additional Information"? Not allowed; only those headings. So we need to fit it into existing sections. Maybe under Benefits as a note? But it's not a benefit. However we could include it under "About the role" as part of description? Might be okay. Also "For Veterans preference: Please show all of your employment history, including military service and related documentation (DD214) on the application." That's application instruction, which we should remove (application instructions). So drop that. EEO boilerplate etc remove. Drug testing etc: that's also boilerplate/legal; remove. Thus we need to produce HTML with sections: -

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing overview and maybe core values? But we must not repeat job title. The overview paragraph: "The City of Aurora is seeking a skilled Animal Services Assistant to provide humane care and treatment for sheltered animals. This position will be cleaning and maintaining kennel facilities while helping patrons." Also we could include the core values and why work for Aurora? That seems more like benefits/About the organization. Could be part of About the role? Might be better to put core values and why work for Aurora under About the role? But the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can put the introductory paragraph about the organization and core values under About the role. -

Responsibilities

with

• list of duties. Must preserve all duties. The list is long; we need to capture each bullet. We'll need to parse the responsibilities block. Let's extract duties from the text after "Primary Duties & Responsibilities". The text: "Provides humane care, treatment and safe handling of animals in the shelter including feeding, cleaning, grooming and enrichment Degrease all interior and exterior kennel walls Sweep and mop all floors daily Empty all trash cans each day Wash and sanitize all food containers, water buckets and litter boxes Deep clean and sanitize every kennel once it is empty including bedding Wash, dry, fold and put away all laundry daily Dust and cleans all pipes and vents in kennel area Intake animals left in the night drop kennels and sanitizes kennel once empty Intakes animals brought in by the public to include photographing, vaccinating, weighing, data entry and kenneling Performs an initial physical exam to look for injuries or illness and reports to veterinary services, if found Traces microchips and tags for owner contact information on stray animals Assists with kenneling and movement of animals and updates animal records to reflect movement or change in status Educate prospective adopters in adoption of suitable pet: reviews and completes adoption paperwork and conducts dog-dog meet and greets Processes animals for release to their owners including verifying ownership, that the animal is cleared to be released to owner and providing owner with all medical paperwork Contacting an Animal Protection Officer if a summons has been initiated for the owner of the animal Perform kennel inventory to ensure all animals are accounted for daily Responds to heavy phone call volume and calls back citizens who left messages and documents each phone call in a log Responds to citizen emails Provides citizens information on services offered by Aurora Animal Services Processes all paperwork and data entry for Community Cat Caretakers, Fancier’s Permit applicants, private trappers, guard dog permits Performs euthanasia and related tasks Ability to safely use all shelter equipment efficiently Transports animals and cleans and maintains the transport vehicle Ability to administer microchips and all vaccinations to animals available for adoption Medicate sick and injured animals as needed Spot clean kennels throughout the day Provide differing enrichment items to the dogs and cats each day and cleans up after or walks dogs Assists in janitorial and light maintenance duties Maintains grounds including picking up trash Organize donated items and place in the appropriate area for each use Operate and close out the cash drawer daily Bathe dogs as needed Performs other related duties as assigned" We need to turn each line into
• . Some lines start with verbs, some are abilities. We'll keep as is. -

  Requirements

  maybe for Minimum Qualifications (education & experience). Could include education and experience. -

  Qualifications

  for Preferred Qualifications? Or we could combine. But we have separate headings for Requirements and Qualifications. We'll put education/experience under Requirements, and preferred qualifications under Qualifications. -

  Skills

  for Skills list (Animal handling skills, Providing friendly customer service, Excellent interpersonal communication skills, Strong attention to detail). Also maybe Abilities? But Abilities could go under Skills? The heading Skills is for skills; abilities could be considered skills too. But we have separate Abilities list; maybe we could include them under Skills as well, but better to follow instruction: we have Skills heading; we can put the skills list there. Abilities could be considered part of Skills? Might be okay to include them under Skills as well. However we also have Licenses And Certifications Required: Valid Colorado Driver’s License. That could go under Qualifications? Or maybe under Requirements? It's a license requirement. Could be under Requirements as well. But we have limited headings; we could put license under Requirements. -

  Benefits

  for the list of benefits: "Make a difference in the lives of real people every day Diverse community Competitive total compensation package Well-Funded General Employees Retirement Plan Light rail station minutes away On-site fitness center and overall employee well-being programs Internal educational programs to assist with career advancement Access to innovation workspaces". Also maybe the furlough days info? That's not a benefit; maybe we could put under Benefits as a note? But it's not a benefit; maybe we could omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. The furlough days is substantive. Where to put? Could be under About the role? Or maybe under a separate section like "Additional Information" but not allowed. Could we put under Benefits as a note? It's not a benefit but it's still info about employment terms. Could be considered part of Benefits? Might be stretching. Another option: we could create a Schedule section? No schedule info. Could we create a Pay section? Already have Pay. Could we add a section like "Other Information"? Not allowed. So we need to fit it somewhere. Perhaps under About the role as part of description of working conditions? But About the role is more about the role itself. Could we put under Responsibilities? No. Maybe we can treat the furlough days as part of Benefits (though it's a drawback). The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could include Benefits section that includes both positive benefits and the furlough policy as a note. That would preserve the info. Alternatively, we could include a section like "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. So we must map to allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit everything into those. Thus: - About the role: includes overview, core values, why work for Aurora (maybe part of benefits but we can include here), and maybe the furlough days. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: Education, Experience, License (Valid Colorado Driver’s License). Also maybe "Essential Personnel" etc? That's working conditions;
