Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "REM Community Services, a part of the Sevita family, provides community-based services...". That's about the organization and mission. Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Summary: "Behavior Support Professional services are provided to persons with assessed need, as identified on the annual functional assessment, for adaptive skills training." That's a summary of role. - Essential Job Functions: list of duties. - Additional functions for Positive Behavior Support. - Additional functions for Behavioral Support Professional. - Supervisory Responsibilities: None. - Minimum Knowledge And Skills Required For The Job: includes Education And Experience, Certificates, Licenses, And Registrations, Other Skills And Abilities, Other Requirements, Physical Requirements. - Then description of Sevita mission. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO etc. Remove equal opportunity statement. We need to include sections only when real specific content. We need to use

for headings. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). Job title is "Behavior Support Professional". So we should not have heading with that. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). We must preserve all substantive information. We must not invent or summarize away detail. We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. First paragraph: "REM Community Services, a part of the Sevita family, provides community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Here we believe every person has the right to live well, and everyone deserves to have a fulfilling career. You’ll join a mission-driven team and create relationships that motivate us all every day. Join us today, and experience a career well lived." That's about the organization/mission. Could be under "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". Since they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We'll use "About the role" for this intro. Next: "Summary Behavior Support Professional services are provided to persons with assessed need, as identified on the annual functional assessment, for adaptive skills training." That's a summary; could be part of About the role or separate "Summary". But we can incorporate into About the role. Then "Essential Job Functions To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to satisfactorily perform each essential function listed below. For persons who require adaptive skills training, the Behavior Support Professional performs the following activities:" then list. We need to list duties. List items: - Develops training plans that include person-specific aspects and methods of intervention or instruction - Provides training to staff persons who will implement the training plans on aspects and methods of intervention (i.e., family, Person-Centered Support, Facility-Based Day Habilitation, Supported Employment, and Crisis Direct Support Professionals) - Provides training for Direct Support Professionals who provide Respite services if applicable for respite-relevant training objectives or health/safety training objectives only - Evaluates/monitors the effectiveness of the training plans through analysis of programming results that occurs at least monthly - Revises training plans as needed. - In addition, this service may also be utilized to address assessed and identified maladaptive behaviors that require informal or formal intervention - Performs other related duties and activities as required Then "For Persons Who Require Positive Behavior Support In Order To Manage Maladaptive Behaviors, The Behavior Support Professional Performs The Following Activities" List: - Completes a Functional Assessment to identify targeted maladaptive behaviors - Creates Positive Behavior Support Plans to meet Association for Positive Behavior Support standards of practice - Provides training to staff persons who will implement the Plan (i.e. family, Person Centered Support, Facility-Based Day Habilitation, Supported Employment, Crisis, and Respite Direct Support Professionals) - Evaluates/monitors the effectiveness of the Positive Behavior Support plan through analysis of programming results that occurs at least monthly - Follows-up once Plan has been implemented to observe progress/regression - Revises the Plan as needed - Performs other related duties and activities as required Then "The Behavioral Support Professional may also perform the following functions:" list: - Develop the task analysis portion of the Individual Health Plan/Individualized Support Plan and person-specific strategy or methodology for development of habilitation plans - Develop Interactive Guidelines or Behavior Protocols for individuals who do not require a formal Positive Behavior Support Plan - Collaborate with Behavior Support Professionals from other agencies to ensure that Positive Behavior Support strategies are consistently applied across all environments - Facilitate person-centered planning as a component of the Positive Behavior Support plan - Present proposed restrictive measures to the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Waiver provider’s Human Rights Committee if no other professional is presenting the same information regarding the person - Attend and participate in Interdisciplinary Team meetings and the annual assessment of functioning for eligibility conducted if requested by the person who receives services or their legal representative - Evaluate environment(s) for implementation of the ISP which creates the optimal environment for habilitation plans, when clinically indicated and beneficial to the person who receives services - Assist persons who receive services in selecting the most suitable environment for their habilitation needs - Provide on-site training to the support staff in behavior/crisis situations - Consult via telephone during behavioral crisis situations only - Develop/update the behavioral crisis section of the crisis plan - Verify data compiled by Direct Support Professionals for accuracy - Attend and contribute to Futures Planning sessions, including Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope and Making Action Plans - Performs other related duties and activities as required Then "Supervisory Responsibilities None" - we could include a short paragraph: Supervisory Responsibilities: None. Then "Minimum Knowledge And Skills Required For The Job The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or abilities required to perform the job." Then subheadings: Education And Experience, Certificates, Licenses, And Registrations, Other Skills And Abilities, Other Requirements, Physical Requirements. We need to decide sections: Could have "Requirements" heading with sublists? But instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. But we have many details; we can combine. Better: Use sections: - About the role (intro + summary) - Responsibilities (list of duties) - Requirements (education, experience, certifications, other skills, physical requirements) - Qualifications maybe not needed separate. But we have "Other Skills And Abilities" etc. Could be under Requirements. We need to avoid empty sections. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. Not present. Thus output:
