Case Manager, Teen Family Services
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. No Pay, Schedule, Benefits unless stated. There's no explicit pay or schedule. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (position requirements), Qualifications? Could combine requirements and qualifications. But we need to follow headings list: we can use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include those with content. We have summary: could be About the role. Responsibilities: essential duties. Requirements: position requirements (education, experience, etc). Qualifications: maybe bilingual, driver license, etc. Skills: communication, documentation, organizational, problem solving, etc. Benefits: none. Pay: none. Schedule: none. So we output sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Ensure we don't repeat job title. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines. The posting includes some repeated lines like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." appears twice (physical demands and work environment). We need to keep but not duplicate? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should include each unique piece once. The physical demands and work environment sections are not in our headings list; they are not required headings but we could include them under maybe "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Since we only allowed those headings, we might omit them? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. However we cannot create new headings not in list? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples, but we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, ...). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. However we need to preserve physical demands and work environment info. Could we put them under a generic "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Not appropriate. Maybe we can include them under a section like "Working Conditions" but that's not in the list; risk of not following instruction. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are typical headings; we can use others if needed? It says use for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, but the examples are given. Safer to stick to those headings and incorporate physical demands and work environment into maybe "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Might be okay.
We need to not repeat job title. No Job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.

Physical Demands (we may incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? maybe we can add a section "Working Conditions" but not in list. Could we add a section "Physical Demands" as an h3? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid others, but it's safer to include them maybe under "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? However they are substantive. Could we create a section "Physical Demands" as an h3? The instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It might be interpreted that those are the allowed headings. But the phrase "e.g." suggests examples, not exhaustive. However the instruction later: "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we can include any heading as long as we have content. The examples are just typical. So we could add headings like Physical Demands and Work Environment. But the instruction also says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid others. I'd include Physical Demands and Work Environment as sections to preserve info. However the user may expect only those headings. But they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding two more sections may be okay.
But we also have "WORK ENVIRONMENT" content. We'll include that.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Physical Demands, Work Environment.
We need to decide what goes into Qualifications vs Skills vs Requirements. Overlap. We can treat Requirements as education/experience, Qualifications as licenses/certifications (driver license, bilingual), Skills as abilities (communication, documentation, organizational, problem solving, etc). Let's map.
Requirements:
- BSW; BA in social science or 2 years Case Management and/or mentoring experience with youth.
Qualifications:
- Valid CA Driver’s License and maintains insurability on the Agency’s auto liability policy (including a minimum of 2 years driving experience) and maintains the California state required auto insurance liability limits.
- Bilingual English/Spanish skills required.
- Must not appear on any federal, state, or other applicable sanctions, exclusion, or debarment lists that would prohibit or restrict employment with an agency receiving federal or state health care funding.
- Requires regular and reliable driving throughout Los Angeles County.
Skills:
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to conceptualize.
- Ability to document work in the client record, to write other documents related to client work and to complete administrative reports with accuracy and timeliness.
- Possess organizational skills to manage high activity level, provide the services and attention needed to each client while maintaining all reporting and documentation requirements in a timely and accurate manner.
- Excellent people and problem-solving skills; ability to work independently as well as a member of a team.
- Ability to work with staff and clients from diverse ethnic, cultural, and economic backgrounds, and to provide services in a non-judgmental manner.
- Affinity for working with adolescents and young children.
- Initiative, flexibility, creativity, and enthusiasm.

That seems good.
