About the role

That's a lot. We'll include them as list items.
Requirements: maybe the knowledge, skills, abilities needed: "Basic Knowledge Baccalaureate Degree in a Human Service field preferred. Other education and experience considered and may be substituted for educational requirements at the discretion of the Hiring Manager. Must demonstrate aptitude and willingness to learn role related skills. Demonstrated knowledge and skills necessary to provide care to patients throughout the life span with consideration of aging processes, human development stages and cultural patterns in each step of the care process. Safety Care Certification: Employees in this position work in a psychiatric setting under stressful conditions associated with care of psychiatrically impaired, aggressive, and sometimes, self-injurious individuals. Employees are expected to utilize de-escalation techniques taught by Bradley Hospital to minimize need for physical intervention. They must have the ability to remain calm during a crisis situation as evidenced by the ability to make quick rational decisions and prioritize immediate patient care needs to maintain a therapeutic environment and ensure safety. Employees in this position must also be able to participate in the physical management of patients which can include, but is not limited to, awareness and demonstration of safe body positioning at all times, awareness and coordination to block and deflect possible aggression, and the ability to physically hold struggling patients, using approved methods only, to maintain safety for extended periods of time. Specifically, such employees must be able to: lift up to fifty pounds; reach with their hands and arms; grasp and hold with their hands; bend/squat/kneel without limitation, and physically escort patients who may become combative for short distances. Position requires occasional running for short distances, and frequent standing, walking, and sitting."
That's more like requirements/qualifications. We'll split: Requirements could be the knowledge/abilities (physical requirements, safety care certification, ability to remain calm, etc). Qualifications could be education/experience/certifications.
Skills: maybe list specific skills like crisis intervention, documentation, CPR, etc. But we already have many. To avoid duplication, we can put skills as a separate list: crisis management, CPR, OSHA/ERS safety certifications, de-escalation techniques, physical management, etc. However many of those are already in requirements. Might be okay to have overlapping but we need to avoid filler. Let's think: The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine into fewer sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including education, experience, certifications, physical requirements), Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. That seems good.
We'll not have separate Requirements or Skills.
Thus sections:
- About the role (prose)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Qualifications (list? Could be mix of prose and list). We'll use
- for list items (education, experience, certifications, physical requirements). Could also include knowledge/abilities as list items.
- Pay (prose with range)
- Schedule (prose with variable shift, 8 hours, EOW/EOH, etc.)
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, location? Location is substantive? It's location: Bradley Hospital - 1011 Veterans Memorial Pkwy East Providence, Rhode Island 02915. Should we include? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information". Location is substantive. Should we include it? It's not a section heading; we can put it in a
maybe under About the role or separate? Since we have no section for location, we can add a
after About the role maybe. But we must not create a heading for it. So we can include location as a paragraph. Also Work Type Variable, EOW/EOH Work Shift Variable Daily Hours 8 hours Driving Required Yes. That's schedule info. We also have "Work Type Variable, EOW/EOH Work Shift Variable Daily Hours 8 hours Driving Required Yes". We'll include in Schedule. Now we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines. We'll exclude EEO Statement. Now craft HTML. Let's write:
