On-siteTraining$25–$28.5/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About The Creekside School, Your Role at Creekside, What You’ll Do, What You’ll Bring (minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications), Compensation, Support for Your Work and Your Growth (benefits), Our Values in Practice (maybe not needed unless specific content). The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - About The Creekside School (description) -> could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About The Creekside School". Could map to "About the role"? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we can use those headings, but we can also use other headings? It says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those exact headings when appropriate. But we can also use other headings if they fit? The examples are just examples. Probably we should use those headings for sections we have. We have content: - About The Creekside School: description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe "About the role" is for role description. But we have "Your Role at Creekside". That could be "About the role". Or we could treat "Your Role at Creekside" as "About the role". Then "What You’ll Do" as "Responsibilities". "What You’ll Bring" as "Qualifications" (minimum and preferred). "Compensation" as "Pay". "Support for Your Work and Your Growth" as "Benefits". "Our Values in Practice" maybe could be "Skills"? Not really. Could omit if not needed. We also have schedule: "A school calendar schedule with holidays and breaks." That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section. Thus we can have sections: - About the role (Your Role at Creekside) - Responsibilities (What You’ll Do) - Qualifications (What You’ll Bring) – could split into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as lists. - Pay (Compensation) - Benefits (Support for Your Work and Your Growth) - Schedule (A school calendar schedule with holidays and breaks) We also have About The Creekside School description; maybe we could include as a brief intro paragraph before sections? The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. The About The Creekside School is not job title; it's organization description. Could be included as a paragraph before sections, maybe as a general description. But we need to decide where to put it. Could be a section "About the organization"? Not in list. But we could incorporate it into the "About the role" section? Might be odd. Better: Keep a brief paragraph about the organization as an intro before headings, using

    . Then sections. Thus output:

    The Creekside School is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities. Through person-centered support, meaningful relationships, and evidence-based practices, we promote independence, dignity, and community inclusion. Our school provides individualized educational and therapeutic services that support communication, academic, social, behavioral, and life skills. Together, we create a learning environment where students feel valued, respected, and supported.

    Then sections. Now we need to ensure we use

    for each section heading. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. About The Creekside School paragraph: as above. Your Role at Creekside: paragraph: "As an Autism Paraprofessional, you’ll support students throughout the school day—in the classroom, during activities and transitions, and through opportunities to practice skills in the community. You might help a student engage in a small-group lesson, support communication during an activity, or guide a student through a challenging moment. By building relationships and providing consistent support, you’ll help students develop confidence and participate more fully in daily life. You’ll work closely with teachers, Behavior Specialists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and families to support each student’s individual goals." We can put that as

      under About the role heading. What You’ll Do (Responsibilities): list items: - Support teachers in implementing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). - Provide one-on-one and small-group support to students with autism and extensive support needs. - Encourage communication, social interaction, independence, and positive behavior throughout the school day. - Assist with academic, behavioral, recreational, vocational, and daily living activities. - Help maintain a structured, safe, and positive classroom environment. - Collect behavioral and academic data as directed. - Collaborate with teachers, behavior professionals, therapists, and families to support student success. - Support students during classroom instruction, community-based instruction, school activities, and transitions. - Assist with personal care and mobility needs when appropriate. - Maintain confidentiality and follow school policies, IEPs, and applicable state and federal regulations. - Participate in required training, staff meetings, and professional development. - Contribute to a positive, collaborative school culture. - Perform other duties as assigned. We'll put these in

      • . What You’ll Bring (Qualifications): Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Minimum Qualifications: - High school diploma or equivalent. - Compassion, dependability, and a commitment to supporting students with autism. - Strong communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. - Patience, flexibility, and professionalism in a dynamic educational environment. - Ability to meet the physical demands of the position, including standing, walking, lifting, and supporting students throughout the school day. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience supporting individuals with autism or developmental disabilities. - Experience in special education, behavioral health, childcare, or human services. - Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Special Education, Child Development, Psychology, Human Services, or a related field. - Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification. - Experience implementing Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies. - CPR and First Aid certification. - Experience using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems. We could combine into one qualifications section with two subheadings? But instruction says use

        for section headings; we could have a single Qualifications section and inside we can have

        for intro and then two

          lists with maybe headings? But we cannot use headings inside? Could use but not required. Simpler: have Qualifications section with two lists: Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications, each preceded by a

          describing? Or we could just list all qualifications in one list, but we need to preserve distinction. Could do two separate

            with preceding

            like "

            Minimum Qualifications:

            " then list. That's acceptable. Pay: Compensation $25.00–$28.50 per hour, depending on qualifications and experience. Compensation considers relevant experience, education, certifications, and demonstrated skills. Autism-specific experience, behavioral intervention training, RBT certification, special education experience, ABA knowledge, AAC experience, and other qualifications that support student success may receive additional consideration. We'll put that as

            under Pay heading. Benefits: Support for Your Work and Your Growth: list: - Meaningful work helping students build confidence, independence, and lifelong skills. - A supportive, collaborative multidisciplinary team. - Paid training and ongoing professional development. - Opportunities for career growth in special education and human services, including advancement into Behavior Specialist, RBT, and other specialized roles. - A comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees. - A school calendar schedule with holidays and breaks. - A person-centered workplace grounded in dignity, inclusion, and respect. We could also include schedule as separate section; but schedule is also mentioned here. However we have schedule info also in benefits. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine schedule into Benefits, but we also have a separate schedule bullet. Could make a Schedule section with that bullet. But we already have schedule bullet in benefits; maybe we keep benefits and schedule separate? The schedule bullet is "A school calendar schedule with holidays and breaks." That's schedule info. Could be its own section. Thus we could have Benefits section (excluding schedule) and Schedule section (just that bullet). But we need to avoid thin sections. Schedule section would have just one bullet; maybe still okay if it's substantive. Could combine schedule into Benefits as a bullet; that's fine. Then we don't need separate Schedule section. Thus Benefits section will include all bullets including schedule. Our Values in Practice: could be omitted as not required; it's more fluff but still substantive. Could include as a section "Skills"? Not exactly. Might be omitted to keep few sections. Thus final sections: - About the role (Your Role at Creekside) - Responsibilities (What You’ll Do) - Qualifications (What You’ll Bring) - Pay (Compensation) - Benefits (Support for Your Work and Your Growth) We'll also include intro paragraph about The Creekside School before sections. Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now produce HTML fragment. We'll need to wrap each section in

            heading then content. For lists, use
            • . Make sure to close tags. Let's craft. Intro paragraph:

Our school provides individualized educational and therapeutic services that support communication, academic, social, behavioral, and life skills.

              Then:
