Behavioral Health Therapist Trainee
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Position Information Examinations: Appraisal (Weight 100%): of training, education, experience, interest and personal fitness for the work based on any combination of the following: Investigation, oral exam and/or rating of application. Applicants must attain at least a 70% score on each phase of the examination process." That's examination details; maybe that's part of Requirements? It's about exam process. Could be considered part of Requirements or Qualifications. We need to decide sections.
Let's parse content:

Candidates MUST be willing to travel to these locations (areas/district offices). For more information regarding Kern County's recruitment process, please see our FAQ page . Kern County is an ADA compliant and an equal opportunity employer and encourages all qualified individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, ADA compliant? That's maybe considered boilerplate but also part of posting. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So we should remove lines about Kern County being ADA compliant and equal opportunity employer. Also remove "For more information about the department, please view their website here." and similar links? Those are navigation? Might be considered boilerplate. Also "To learn more about Kern County, click here or follow us:" and "Growth Mindset" etc maybe considered fluff but still substantive? It's about culture; maybe keep as part of About the role? But we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have info about Minimum Qualifications/Employment Standards: that's Qualifications. Also Examination process maybe part of Requirements? Could be "Requirements" section.
We have info about Bilingual certificate, flexible hours, background check, driver's license, etc. Those could be Requirements or Qualifications.
We have info about Benefits: Bilingual pay dependent upon proficiency. Also maybe training and continued professional development (Growth Mindset). Also maybe "Employees who occupy positions designated as bilingual are paid dependent upon the required level of proficiency." That's a benefit (pay differential). Also maybe "We provide access to training and continued professional development" is a benefit.
We have Schedule: "Note: Incumbents may be required to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends". That's schedule info.
We have Pay: Not explicit salary; only bilingual pay differential. No base pay. So we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not state base pay, only bilingual pay differential. Should we include Pay? Probably not, as no specific pay amount. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state flexible hours (schedule) and bilingual pay (benefit). So we can include Schedule and Benefits sections.
We also have "Additional Information" about continuous recruitment, etc. That could be part of About the role or maybe not needed. We could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information" but we only allowed headings from list. Could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No job title given explicitly; it's "Behavioral Health Therapist Trainee". We should not repeat that as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: Bachelor's degree and enrollment in specific graduate programs; within 90 days acquire Master's; within 180 days obtain and maintain associate registration; background investigation; fingerprinting; disqualification for felony etc; driver's license; attach degree/transcripts; works within Kern Behavioral Health and Recovery Services Department; About Kern County culture; continuous recruitment; need government ID; background check for correctional medicine; post-offer medical/drug screening; flexible hours evenings/weekends; bilingual certificate requirement; bilingual pay differential; eligible list 12 months; willingness to travel; FAQ page; ADA compliant/eop (remove). Also mention that examination will establish eligible list etc.
