OTHRPart-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove links? Probably keep them if they are part of content? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The links to youtube, mass.gov/dds-careers, etc might be considered navigation? Might be okay to keep? Probably they are not essential; but they are part of description. However they might be considered navigation. Safer to remove them? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Those links are not boilerplate but maybe considered navigation. I'd keep them if they are part of description about DDS. But they are just links; could be considered navigation. I'd remove them to be safe. We need to extract substantive content: - Opening paragraph: "This is an open and continuous posting for full-time and part-time positions on multiple shifts at the Wrentham Developmental Center in the Southeast area of DDS. The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is searching for an enthusiastic, compassionate, reliable individual with a strong work ethic to fill a Behavioral Direct Care Worker (Developmental Service Worker II) position to be assigned to the Evaluation and Stabilization Unit (ESU) within the Southeast Region in Wrentham, MA.

Staff that is unable to complete the training will be ineligible for the assignment. This posting requires interested candidates including current employees in the same title to go through the interview process as this position requires specialized training." - Preferred Qualifications list: - PABC Certified and/or PABC trainer - Experience working with challenging behaviors. - Working knowledge of PBS and how to implement across all settings. - Capacity to remain calm in a high stress environment. - Excellent time management and communication skills. - Develop and maintain a respectful, caring, tolerant, ethical, and empowering relationship with staff and residents. - Ability to relate to others in a professional and appropriate manner ensuring proper communication and support. - Interface appropriately with other staff and supervisors. - Willingness to help debrief staff after stressful situation occur. - Skilled in navigating through Microsoft operating systems. - Provide leadership and direction to direct care staff and effectively respond to emerging situations. - Capability to assist/lift individuals with physical disabilities and/or limited mobility. - Ability to transcribe, read and comprehend the English language. - Competent to help develop, cultivate, and nurture a team atmosphere. - Agency Requirements list: - Possess current and valid Class D Motor Vehicle Operator's License - Upon successful completion of the Medication Administration Program (MAP) training, incumbents must obtain and maintain their MAP Certification. - Upon successful completion of a training program, incumbents must obtain and maintain Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid (FA) certification - Note about DDS fills entry-level position ongoing basis, full and part-time positions available on various shifts, many require working every weekend with two days off in the middle of the week. Applicants must be flexible in work schedule. This is a 24-hour/7 days a week staff position. The Department requires employees in this position to be able to perform mandatory overtime when circumstances dictate the need. This position is designated as an "EMERGENCY" position in the Department of Developmental Services Emergency Plan. This means that whenever the Governor declares that the Commonwealth is in a state of emergency, you will be required to report to work. All employees are paid on a bi-weekly basis and must have direct deposit. - About The Department Of Developmental Services paragraph: mission etc. - Pre-Hire Process etc: but many are boilerplate/legal; we should remove EEO etc. The pre-hire process includes Commission for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities (CPPD) Abuse Registry Search, criminal background check, National Background Checks, ADA Reasonable Accommodation contact info, technical help, etc. Many of these are legal/boilerplate; we should remove them. However some might be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the pre-hire process details (they are legal). Also remove the "MINIMUM ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS: None. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: None." (these are boilerplate). Remove salary placement paragraph? It talks about salary placement determined by factors, collective bargaining agreement. That's substantive about pay? Might be considered pay info but not specific numbers. We have a specific salary later: "Salary 52,178.36". That is a specific number. So we should include Pay section with that salary. Also note about pay differentials earlier. - Comprehensive Benefits paragraph: talk about benefits suite. That's substantive for Benefits section. - Title 101 CMR 23.00 paragraph about vaccination requirement: that's a requirement (maybe under Requirements or Special Requirements). Could be included under Requirements. - Equal Opportunity etc boilerplate: remove. - Research suggests ... encourage individuals: maybe keep as part of About the role? It's encouragement but could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal but it's generic encouragement. Might be considered filler. Safer to remove. - Official Title etc: maybe not needed. - Location etc: we could include location in About the role? Already have location. - Schedule: we have schedule info: Full-time, Multiple shifts, 24/7, mandatory overtime, emergency position, weekend work, etc. So we can create Schedule section. - Pay: we have salary number and note about pay differentials, bi-weekly pay, direct deposit. - Benefits: comprehensive benefits paragraph. - Qualifications: maybe combine Preferred Qualifications and Agency Requirements? The instruction: use sections like Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Qualifications includes required qualifications (like license, certifications). Skills includes preferred qualifications like communication, leadership, etc. We'll create: Section: About the role (intro paragraph + mission maybe). Could include description of DDS mission. Section: Responsibilities (the bullet list). Section: Requirements (special requirements: PABC within 6 months, interview process, Class D license, MAP certification, CPR/FA, vaccination requirement). Also maybe include "Must be able to perform mandatory overtime, emergency position, flexible schedule, 24/7, weekend work" but those are schedule. Section: Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications list). Could also include "Experience working with challenging behaviors, PBS knowledge, etc." Section: Skills (maybe leadership, communication, time management, etc.) But we can combine. Better to follow instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We can have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements - Qualifications - Skills - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We need to ensure each section has content. Let's extract content: About the role: The opening paragraph describing the position, DDS mission paragraph maybe. Also note about continuous posting? That's more about process; maybe not needed. Could include "This is an open and continuous posting for full-time and part-time positions on multiple shifts at the Wrentham Developmental Center..." That's about the role. Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties. Requirements: Special Requirements (PABC within 6 months, interview process), Agency Requirements (Class D license, MAP certification, CPR/FA), vaccination requirement (Title 101 CMR 23.00). Also maybe note about "Must be able to perform mandatory overtime when circumstances dictate the need" but that's schedule. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list (PABC Certified/trainer, experience with challenging behaviors, PBS knowledge, capacity to remain calm, excellent time management and communication skills, develop respectful relationship, ability to relate professionally, interface appropriately, willingness to help debrief, skilled in Microsoft OS, provide leadership/direction, capability to assist/lift individuals, ability to transcribe/read/comprehend English, competent to help develop team atmosphere). That's a lot; could be split into Qualifications and Skills. Skills: maybe the soft skills: time management, communication, leadership, ability to remain calm, etc. But we can keep Qualifications as the list of preferred qualifications (including certifications, experience). Skills could be the abilities like "Capacity to remain calm in a high stress environment, Excellent time management and communication skills, Develop and maintain a respectful, caring, tolerant, ethical, and empowering relationship..., Ability to relate to others in a professional and appropriate manner..., Interface appropriately..., Willingness to help debrief..., Skilled in navigating through Microsoft operating systems, Provide leadership and direction..., Capability to assist/lift..., Ability to transcribe, read and comprehend..., Competent to help develop...". That's overlapping. Maybe better: Qualifications = required qualifications (license, certifications, PABC requirement). Skills = preferred qualifications (experience, PBS, etc). But the instruction says use sections like Qualifications, Skills. We'll decide: - Requirements: mandatory requirements (PABC within 6 months, Class D license, MAP certification, CPR/FA, vaccination requirement). Also maybe "Must be able to perform mandatory overtime" but that's schedule. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications (experience with challenging behaviors, PBS knowledge, etc.) - Skills: specific skillset (leadership, communication, time management, etc.) but we can also include many. Given the risk of thin sections, we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called Qualifications (or Skills). But instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (includes mandatory requirements) - Qualifications (includes preferred qualifications and skills) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule That's 7 sections. Now we need to format:
