Certified Peer Counselor - Mobile Crisis Program
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We have content: description of role (first paragraph). Could be About the role. Then duties and responsibilities list. Then competencies maybe Skills? Or Qualifications. There's a Qualifications section. Benefits/Perks. Pay (starting pay rate). Schedule (shifts). Also mention "Peer certification required. CalMHSA Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist or equivalent." etc.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove "How to apply:" etc. Also remove BACS overview? Might be considered boilerplate? It's description of organization; maybe keep? It's not required but could be considered extra. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The BACS overview is not boilerplate but could be considered organizational description; not explicitly prohibited. Might keep as part of About the role? But we have limited sections. Probably better to keep only relevant content: About the role (first paragraph), Responsibilities (duties list), Qualifications (peer certification etc), Skills (competencies list), Benefits (benefits/perks), Pay (pay rate), Schedule (shifts). Ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For competencies maybe also list.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting.
Let's extract:
About the role: first paragraph: "The Peer Counselor, CalMHSA Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist for our Community Wellness Response Team (CWRT) program is responsible for the provision of field-based direct services and provides engaging peer support in a self-help format to individuals and their families working towards their recovery. The Peer Counselor uses their personal experiences to coach individuals and families through their wellness and recovery goals and plans. This work will entail all aspects of field-based service including needs for assessment, carrying out the plan of care, individual peer counseling and rehabilitation support, crisis support and referrals/linkages to more long term supports that promote an individual's wellness. The Peer Counselor will work independently and as part of a team and will manage their own schedule for the outreach, engagement, participant appointments, and extensive local travel that are pertinent to a participant's plan of care. The position will adhere to all regulatory productivity/direct service expectations. Our CWRT program operates 24/7, 365; providing in-field response to de-escalate and resource community members. CWRT is formerly known as Alternatives to 911. This innovative program works collaboratively with 988 and Sacramento County to provide urgent response for community members experiencing a mental health crisis to reduce the need for emergency services and provide community based resources."

Pay: we already included pay rate in benefits; but we need a Pay section if posting actually states them. The posting includes pay rate. So we should have a Pay section with that detail. However we also listed pay in Benefits; but we can keep Pay separate and maybe not duplicate. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we need to include Pay section if posting states them. It does. So we will have Pay section with the pay rate details. Benefits section can exclude pay details to avoid duplication. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can include pay in Pay section and not duplicate in Benefits. Let's extract pay info: "$25/hr starting pay rate then $26 per hour after 90 days and successful completion of all job duties and requirements". Also maybe mention "Highly competitive compensation." That's more generic; we can keep in Benefits or Pay. We'll put in Pay.
