Certified Peer Recovery Specialist
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve substantive info.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: maybe a brief description? The posting includes description of role: "The Recovery Peer Specialist uses their lived experience..." That's about the role. Could be under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We'll need to decide.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. There's a list of specific activities. We'll put under Responsibilities
with - items.
- Requirements: includes Education and/or Work Experience Requirements: High School Diploma or GED required. Minimum of two years lived experience. Must complete CRPS certification during employment. Also Additional Eligibility Qualifications list many skills. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll separate maybe Requirements (education, experience, certification) and Qualifications (skills, abilities). Or combine.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like communication, computer proficiency, etc.
- Benefits: none mentioned. So we should not include Benefits section.
- Pay: none mentioned. So not include.
- Schedule: none mentioned. Not include.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. So only include sections where we have real content.
Thus we can have:
