Requirements
maybe not needed if we have Qualifications and Skills. But we could combine? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. Could we merge Requirements into Qualifications? Probably fine. We need to include all substantive info: The posting includes Classification Title, Department, Opening Date, Closing Date, FLSA STATUS, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP, CURRENT HOURS AND STARTING TIME, LOCATION (URL). Should we include those? They are metadata but maybe considered minor; we can fold into shortor drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with those details under About the role maybe. We must not repeat job title as heading; but we can include it in paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information: The salary, benefits, schedule, duties, qualifications, etc. We must not include boilerplate like General Requirements And Disclaimers? That includes compliance statements, accommodation, union, grant funded. Those are substantive? They are disclaimers; maybe we can include under a section? Not among allowed headings. Could we drop? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The General Requirements And Disclaimers includes legal compliance statements; might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but includes accommodation, union, grant funded. Might be considered legal. Safer to drop? But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not sure if those are considered substantive. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. So we can drop that section. Similarly, WORK ENVIRONMENT/CONDITIONS and PHYSICAL DEMANDS are detailed; maybe we can include under Skills? Not exactly. Could we create a section for Working Conditions? Not allowed headings. So maybe we drop them? But they are substantive. However allowed headings limited; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Not ideal. But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could we add a section "Working Conditions"? Not allowed. So we must fit into allowed headings. Perhaps we can treat them as part of Skills? Not really. Maybe we can create a section "Requirements" for qualifications, and "Skills" for knowledge, skill, ability, and also include work environment/physical demands under Skills? Might be stretching. Alternatively, we could create a section "About the role" that includes general summary, work environment, physical demands, etc. That would preserve info. Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role (includes General Summary, Work Environment/Conditions, Physical Demands, Location, Hours, FLSA status, Employment relationship, Grant info maybe). Responsibilities (Essential Functions). Qualifications (Required Education/Experience, Required Licenses/Certifications). Skills (Knowledge Of, Skill In, Ability To, Preferred Education/Experience, Preferred Licenses). Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not invent content; just rephrase? We must preserve all substantive information; we can keep original wording but maybe restructure. We'll output HTML with
headings and

We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content.

Required Education and Experience text: "Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university in Psychology, Social Work, Special Education, Counseling or other mental health related fieldMust meet qualifications as specified in the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP)/Community Mental Health Services Programs (CMHSP) Qualifications per Medicaid Services as a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP); Individual with specialized training (including fieldwork and/or internships associated with the academic curriculum where the student works directly with persons receiving mental health services as part of that experience) or one (1) year of experience in treating or working with a person who has mental illness; and is a psychologist, physician, educator (with a degree in education from an accredited program), social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech-language pathologist, audiologist, registered nurse, therapeutic recreation specialist, licensed or limited licensed professional counselor licensed/limited-licensed professional counselor, licensed or limited licensed marriage and family therapist, or a licensed physician’s assistant; or A human services professional with at least a bachelor’s degree in a human services field"
