OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Department Information (intro) maybe as "About the role". Then responsibilities (Job Duties). Then Minimum Qualifications (including license, experience). Then Required Competencies. Then Preferred Qualifications. Then Important Information (contact, assessment process). Also note Pay: "This position is compensated on a bi-weekly pay scale." That's pay info, so we can include Pay section. Schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits: described in Department Information: distinctive career advancement, retirement benefits, medical/dental, disability, life insurance, holidays, wellness, tuition reimbursement, etc. So Benefits section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some legal bits (Conditions of Employment) which might be considered boilerplate but they contain substantive info like age 21, driver's license, etc. Should we keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Conditions of Employment may be considered legal but includes substantive requirements (age, driver's license, etc). Might keep as part of Requirements? Could be part of Minimum Qualifications or a separate section like "Requirements". But we already have Minimum Qualifications and Required Competencies. The Conditions of Employment includes age, driver's license, high school diploma, no felony, etc. Those are substantive qualifications. We could incorporate them into Minimum Qualifications or a separate "Requirements" section. Since we already have Minimum Qualifications (license, experience). Could add a "Requirements" section for those extra conditions. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine into Minimum Qualifications (maybe expand). But Minimum Qualifications already defined as license and experience. The extra conditions could be placed under a "Requirements" heading.
We need to decide headings: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Job Duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications + conditions of employment + required competencies?), Benefits, Pay. Also maybe Preferred Qualifications as separate? Could be under Requirements as "Preferred Qualifications". But we could have a section "Preferred Qualifications". However instruction: Prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Preferred Qualifications into Requirements as a bullet list under "Preferred Qualifications" subheading? But we cannot have subheadings unless using ? Only headings allowed are
. Ensure we don't duplicate. Let's parse:
"Support program evaluation to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of mental health services;
Assist clinical administration with recruitment and retention activities for mental health staff.
Maintain inventory of mental health testing resources and ensure the use of empirically supported psychological assessments.
Provide training to DOC correctional staff and outside agencies as needed.
Ensure empirically supported continuity of service delivery by training, observing, coaching; and promoting continuity of DOC services with community mental health services.
Support Mental Health Program Administrator in clinical supervision of mental health work units; support Regional Health Services Administrators (RHSAs) in the operational supervision of mental health services, and support the implementation of system-wide programs for mental health target populations.
Assists in the coordination of offenders needing special needs placements such as a Residential Treatment Program (RTP) and infirmary admissions.
Ensure new staff receive mental health training during the first 60 days of employment and establishes work standards;
Provides continuous mentoring of new staff to review progress, establishing work flow;
Assess staff proposals and qualifications to provide training; establish written training protocols in coordination with the DOC training academy and Mental Health Program Administrator;
Ensure mental health training is recorded; and updates and revises lesson plans for Mental Health Program Administrator approval.
Participate in direct care, individual and group therapies to mentor, coach, and role model.
Assists in the coordination of offenders needing special needs placements such as Residential Treatment Program (RTP) and infirmary admissions.
When the Mental Health Program Administrator is unavailable, consults with on-call clinicians and supervisors as indicated by AR 650-04 and AR 700-29 as needed including after hours.
You are encouraged to print a copy of this announcement for your records"
We need to deduplicate: there are two similar lines about coordination of offenders needing special needs placements (RTP and infirmary admissions). Appear twice. We'll keep one.
Also "Assist clinical administration with recruitment and retention activities for mental health staff." appears once.
We'll produce list items.
Minimum Qualifications: text: "Applicant must possess one or more of the following valid, active license from the State of Colorado; Licensed Professional Counselor Licensed Clinical Social Worker Licensed Psychologist or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. AND Applicant must have one (1) year of licensed or license candidacy experience, with current valid licensure from the State of Colorado, to include Licensed Social Worker (LSW), Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker Candidate (SWC) or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate, and experience must be with the mental health and/or sex offender population. Special Qualifications Applicant must have two (2) years experience in correctional mental health services"
We need to combine: Must have license (one of those) AND one year of licensed or license candidacy experience (specific list) AND two years experience in correctional mental health services. Also note "Ensure that the 'Work Experience" section of the application is complete..." that's application instruction, maybe remove as boilerplate? It's about application, could be considered instruction; we should remove application instructions. So we drop that sentence.
Also "See resume" statements cannot be accepted... remove.
Thus Minimum Qualifications section: combine license requirement, experience requirement, correctional mental health experience.
We'll output as
? Only headings allowed are for section headings. Could we have nested headings? Probably not; we just use for each section. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Required Competencies, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. That's many sections but each substantive.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". All have content.
Now extract content.
About the role: Department Information paragraph: "If your goal is to build a career that makes a difference and build greater public confidence in good government, consider joining the dedicated people of the State of Colorado. Our professionals strive to support state government and the citizens of Colorado. Customer service is a key component for every position in state government as is the focus on ideas and ways to redesign the delivery of services in making state government more effective and efficient. In addition to a great agency and rewarding, meaningful work, we offer: Distinctive career advancement opportunities throughout the state system; Strong, secure, yet flexible retirement benefits including PERA Defined Benefit Plan or PERA Defined Contribution Plan plus 401K and 457 plans. Member Contribution Rates .

This position is compensated on a bi-weekly pay scale."
We need to preserve all substantive info. Remove duplicated lines? There's a period after "Member Contribution Rates ." maybe keep.
We'll put that in
for each section. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Required Competencies, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. That's many sections but each substantive. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". All have content. Now extract content.

We'll put that in
. Responsibilities: Job Duties list. Need to extract bullet points. The text includes many duties separated by semicolons and some repeated. We need to list each duty as
- ... maybe combine into one
- with semicolons? Better separate each requirement.
Required Competencies: list: "Self-control, a strong sense of ability to work in stressful, potentially violent situations; Ability to remain alert, emotionally stable, and mentally resilient under pressure and observant throughout their shift; Tolerance to stress, confinement, and high-stakes interaction. Must possess and maintain a valid license from the State of Colorado as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist;Knowledge of and ability to conduct crisis assessment and counseling utilizing therapist manuals and protocols and agency/facility security policies;Ability to effectively interact with offenders;Excellent written and verbal communication skills;Ability to read and comprehend the English language;Ability to effectively communicate fluently in English both verbally and in writing; Ability to create accessible documents and technical content that follows plain language guidelines with accessibility in mind; Excellent interpersonal skills;"
We need to split into items. Some are combined with commas. We'll separate by semicolons mainly.
Preferred Qualifications: "Mental health counseling with the inmate population and crisis intervention experience;Experience conducting suicide risk assessments;Experience working as a member of a multidisciplinary team."
Important Information: contact Stacey Hibpshman, assessment process description, etc. Also includes info about rehire pay, transcripts, background investigation, etc. Some of that is substantive (rehire pay, transcript requirements, background investigation). We'll keep as a section maybe "Important Information". However we already have Pay section (bi-weekly). Could include rehire pay info under Pay? But it's about salary adjustments not guaranteed. Might be considered part of Pay. We'll include in Pay section: "This position is compensated on a bi-weekly pay scale. Salary adjustments for rehires/reinstatements follow specific formulas..." etc.
But we must not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state bi-weekly pay scale. So we include Pay.
Now Benefits: we already have from Department Information. We'll extract bullet list.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll start with maybe not needed; just use
headings followed by
or
- .
We'll output:
