We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes overview, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content.
We have:
- Overview of Position: description of duties. Could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The posting includes "OVERVIEW OF POSITION:" then description. That's responsibilities.
- Education, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: these are qualifications/requirements/skills.
- Physical Requirements: maybe not a standard section; but we could include under "Requirements" or separate? The instruction says use headings for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule except pay: "Starting at $29.33/hour". That's pay. So we need a Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned.
Benefits: not mentioned.
Thus we will have sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (maybe same as overview?), but we should avoid duplication. Could combine overview into About the role. Responsibilities could be the list of essential functions. But we have a list of duties in the overview paragraph. Could split: About the role: brief description; Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
We have details: "Provides specialized behavior intervention services...", etc. Many sentences. We can extract bullet points.
Let's parse responsibilities:
- Provides specialized behavior intervention services to children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the home, the community and/or other natural settings.
- Provides parent education and coordinates specialized training and instructional materials for caregivers.
- Completes necessary documentation including evaluations, treatment notes, progress reports and exit summaries.
- Remains current with program and participant-related documents and reports.
- Provides participant related communication to caregivers, the program team, physicians and other health care providers, as appropriate.
- May supervise Behavior Interventionists to ensure all recorded data are correct and accurate.
- Manages, maintains and creates reports from program records.
- Maintains data reliability and fidelity checks regularly.
- Plans and leads monthly progress updates for each family served with program team.
- Assists with the creation and delivery of specific intervention activities.
- Provides parent education according to treatment plan or other individualized assessments.
- Monitors skill acquisition of children diagnosed on the autism spectrum in natural settings, under the direction of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
- Remains current regarding new research, current trends and developments in autism, special education and related fields.
- Attends staff meetings, in-services, treatment planning, trainings, and other meetings as requested.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
That's many bullet points.

Education: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with a concentration in early childhood education, psychology, nursing or related field. Must be enrolled in a Master’s degree program in Applied Behavior Analysis or closely related field or in coursework series that meets the educational requirements for the BCBA or BCBA examination. Must possess and maintain a current CPR certification.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: list.
We can combine into Requirements (education + experience) and Qualifications/Skills.
But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Could put education+experience under Requirements, and knowledge/skills/abilities under Skills.
Let's decide:
- About the role: brief overview (first paragraph after OVERVIEW OF POSITION maybe). Could be: "Under direct supervision, provides specialized behavior intervention services, parent education, and program supervision according to the goals described in the Individualized Treatment Plan and monitors the development of children in the home, the community, and/or other natural settings. Associate Program Managers work closely with the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Behavior Interventionists to provide intervention, conduct assessments, write progress reports and develop programs for assigned cases."
- Responsibilities: bullet list of essential functions (the list above).
- Requirements: Education and Experience.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, Abilities list.
- Pay: Starting at $29.33/hour.
No Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include metadata like Job ID.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
Use
for each section heading. Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must include all details from the posting.
Let's ensure we include CPR certification, etc.
Also include Physical Requirements? Not a standard heading; but we could fold into Requirements? The instruction says use those headings only; but we can include other info under appropriate sections. Physical requirements could be under Requirements as well. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It might be okay to add other headings but better to stick to given ones. We can include physical requirements under Requirements as a list. Similarly travel requirement etc. Let's include under Requirements: Education, Experience, Physical Requirements, Travel, etc. But we must not create sections like "Physical Requirements" as heading unless we map to Requirements. Thus under Requirements we can have a
with paragraphs or a
- for sub-items.
We need to preserve all info: Carrying/Lifting occasional, Standing occasional, etc. Also travel up to 50% local travel, ability to travel locally, maintain driving record, auto insurance, vehicle registration. Environmental exposure.
We'll include those as bullet list under Requirements.
Now Skills: list of knowledge, skills, abilities.
Let's extract that list:
- Familiar with the approaches to intervention based on the science of Applied Behavior Analysis.
- Competent in employing and directing behavior analytic methodologies including Pivotal Response Training (PRT), Natural Environment Teaching (NET), Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Behavior Skills Training (BST), and Experimental Functional Analysis (EFA).

- Ability to provide proof of required vaccinations or positive titer showing immunity. A signed declination may be acceptable for certain vaccinations
- Ability to obtain and maintain a criminal record/fingerprint clearance from the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation per Easterseals Southern California and/or program requirements.
We'll put each as
- . Now Responsibilities bullet list we already have. Now About the role: we can combine first two paragraphs. Let's craft About the role: "Under direct supervision, provides specialized behavior intervention services, parent education, and program supervision according to the goals described in the Individualized Treatment Plan and monitors the development of children in the home, the community, and/or other natural settings. Associate Program Managers work closely with the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Behavior Interventionists to provide intervention, conduct assessments, write progress reports and develop programs for assigned cases." That's from the overview. Now Responsibilities: bullet list of essential functions (the longer list). Ensure we include all bullet points we extracted.
