for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting includes Overview (maybe not needed as heading? The page already shows job title, but we can include Overview as maybe not needed. They said 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. Overview is not a standard heading list but could be considered "About the role"? The posting has "Overview Changing lives..." then "Location: Field-based — sessions take place in clients' homes, schools, and communities Schedule: Flexible — caseload scheduling is based on your availability, proximity to cases, and personal goals Compensation: $90.00-$95.00 per hour, with total compensation potential of $116,000+ annually Additional Earning: Up to $8,000/year for BACB supervision + unlimited referral bonuses". This is basically location, schedule, compensation, additional earning. We can create sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They said include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content. We have content for each. We need to use
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not include boilerplate like EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER paragraph and the Salary Range line (duplicate of compensation). Also drop "Physical Requirements" maybe? It's part of qualifications? It could be considered part of Qualifications but it's separate. We could include under Qualifications as a list? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Physical Requirements is a list of activities; we could include as
under Qualifications or separate section? There's no standard heading for Physical Requirements; maybe we incorporate into Qualifications as a list.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include location, schedule, compensation, additional earning, about Verbal Beginnings, why BCBAs should join us (that's like About the role?), responsibilities, qualifications, benefits.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
Overview: Changing lives. One child at a time. One professional at a time. Location: Field-based — sessions take place in clients' homes, schools, and communities. Schedule: Flexible — caseload scheduling is based on your availability, proximity to cases, and personal goals. Compensation: $90.00-$95.00 per hour, with total compensation potential of $116,000+ annually. Additional Earning: Up to $8,000/year for BACB supervision + unlimited referral bonuses.
But maybe better to separate location, schedule, compensation into separate sections? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can keep About the role covering overview.
Then About Verbal Beginnings
maybe not in list but could be "About the company". Not in the prescribed headings list but we could use "About the role" for overview and "About Verbal Beginnings" maybe as part of same? The instruction list includes "About the role" as example; we could also include "About Verbal Beginnings" as a heading? Not in list but could be okay? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to stick to those. So we could treat "About Verbal Beginnings" as part of About the role or maybe under "About the role". But we have separate "WHY BCBAS SHOULD JOIN US". That could be part of About the role or maybe "Benefits"? Actually it's about why join. Could be part of "About the role". We'll incorporate.
Then Responsibilities: we have a big block under "Responsibilities THE ROLE". We'll extract responsibilities list.
Then Qualifications: we have "Qualifications QUALIFICATIONS" block plus Physical Requirements.
Then Benefits: list.
Pay: we have compensation details; but we already included in About the role. However they said include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does. Could create a Pay section with details. But we already included compensation in About the role; to avoid duplication, maybe we put compensation in Pay section and keep About the role brief. But we need to preserve all info. Let's decide: Use sections: About the role (overview/mission), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That covers all.
Thus:
About the role
Verbal Beginnings is a growing, BCBA-owned and operated, BHCOE-accredited and ACQ-accredited ABA therapy provider dedicated to unlocking the potential of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With the belief that every child can learn, we promote independence and improve the quality of life for the children and families we serve through individualized, evidence-based treatment. We offer a full continuum of programs — including Early Intervention, In-Home, Social Skills, Feeding, Diagnostic, and our Comprehensive Services program incorporating Speech and OT — and we prioritize, support, and fund the professional development of every clinician on our team.
But that duplicates some of the "About Verbal Beginnings" and "WHY BCBAS SHOULD JOIN US". We'll incorporate that.
Then Responsibilities: list.
Then Qualifications: list (including education, certification, license, experience, driver's license, dedication, plus physical requirements as list items).
Then Benefits: list.
Then Pay: include compensation details: $90.00-$95.00 per hour, total compensation potential $116,000+ annually, Additional earning: up to $8,000/year for BACB supervision + unlimited referral bonuses.
Then Schedule: Flexible — caseload scheduling is based on your availability, proximity to cases, and personal goals. Also location: Field-based — sessions take place in clients' homes, schools, and communities. Could include location in Schedule or separate? Since location is not schedule, but we have no heading for location. Could put location in Schedule section as part of description, or maybe include in About the role. But we already used About the role for overview. Could add location in Schedule section as note.
Better: Schedule section includes both schedule and location? Might be okay. Or we could add a separate "Location" heading but not in list. Safer to include location in Schedule section as part of description.
Thus Schedule: Field-based — sessions take place in clients' homes, schools, and communities. Flexible — caseload scheduling is based on your availability, proximity to cases, and personal goals.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: remove EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER, Salary Range line (duplicate), maybe also remove "Physical Requirements" heading (we'll incorporate as list). Also remove duplicated lines like "Overview Changing lives..." etc.
Now produce HTML.
Let's craft.
Responsibilities list items: from "What Your Day Looks Like" bullet points (though not bullet but sentences). We'll extract each sentence as - .
Responsibilities:
- Travel to clients' homes, schools, and community settings to conduct comprehensive skills and behavior assessments — deeply understanding each child's needs, strengths, and goals within their natural environment.
- Develop and continuously refine individualized treatment plans using innovative, evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's unique learning profile and the contexts in which they live.
- Train, supervise, and support your team of RBTs in the field — fostering collaboration, clinical consistency, and a shared commitment to quality across every session.
- Partner with families through hands-on education and coaching, empowering caregivers to carry treatment strategies into daily routines and become confident advocates for their child's development.
- Collaborate with supervisors and the quality assurance team to review outcomes, share knowledge across cases, and continuously raise the standard of care delivered to every child you serve.
Also earlier responsibilities description: "As a field-based BCBA at Verbal Beginnings, you will bring clinical care directly into the environments that matter most to each child — their home, school, and community. This is where real generalization happens, where skills transfer into everyday life, and where families witness the impact of high-quality ABA firsthand. Your work will be grounded in the most current, evidence-based research, and guided by a relentless commitment to quality outcomes for every child on your caseload. Collaboration is essential to this role: you will work hand in hand with a dedicated team of RBTs, fellow BCBAs, and clinical supervisors — sharing observations, refining treatment approaches, and holding each other to the highest standards of care. You will also serve as an educator and partner to the families you work with, equipping caregivers with the knowledge and strategies to support their child's progress across every setting and every moment of the day. As part of a BHCOE-accredited training site, you will mentor and inspire the next generation of behavior analysts — contributing to a field-wide culture of excellence that reaches far beyond the children currently in your care."
We could incorporate that as prose before the list, or as list items. Since we need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list; we can make them list items. The preceding prose could be a
before the list.
Thus Responsibilities section:
