Chaplain

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, qualifications, duties, work schedule. Also maybe "Physical Requirements". Need to decide sections based on content. We must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have summary (About the role). Qualifications (basic requirements, etc). Duties (Responsibilities). Work Schedule (Schedule). Possibly Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements? But we can include a "Requirements" section for qualifications. Also maybe "Skills" could be derived from KSAs but we can include under Qualifications or separate Skills. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one "Qualifications" section that includes education, certification, experience, KSAs. Or we could have separate "Requirements" and "Skills". But we need to avoid thin sections. We have specific content for: Summary (About the role). Qualifications (education, certification, CPE, endorsement, grandfathering, grade determinations, experience, specialty certification, KSAs, preferred experience). Duties (list of duties). Work Schedule (Monday-Friday 8-4:30, telework ad-hoc eligible, not virtual). Physical Requirements (walking, speaking, hearing). Could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate "Requirements" section includes physical requirements. We should not include Benefits, Pay unless specified. Not present. Thus sections: About the role (summary), Qualifications (education, certification, experience, KSAs, preferred experience, physical requirements?), Responsibilities (duties), Schedule (work schedule). Could combine physical requirements into Qualifications or Requirements. Let's make Qualifications include education, certification, experience, KSAs, preferred experience, physical requirements. Responsibilities = duties. Schedule = work schedule. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience" etc. The duties include phrase "commensurate with the needs - desires - and voluntary consent". That's okay; it's part of duty description, not a placeholder heading. We must keep it. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for qualifications we have many items; we can make a list. For duties also list. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details like URLs, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting didn't have that. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. First section:

  About the role

  then

  with summary text. Summary: "This position is located within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) - Veterans Health Administration (VHA) - Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC) - Chaplain Service (CS). The position provides services within various settings - including Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) - Inpatient Clinics - Outpatient Clinics - and domiciliaries throughout the United States. Most Chaplain services are usually provided in a medical facility structure." We keep that exactly. Second section:

  Qualifications

  then maybe a

We need to include all qualification details: US Citizenship, Education (Master of Divinity or equivalent, with CHEA/ATS accreditation, etc), Educational equivalency review option, Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) four units from accredited center, Endorsement (full active ecclesiastical endorsement dated within past 12 months, link), Certification (Board-Certified Chaplain by BCCI or equivalent, link), Grandfathering provision details (multiple subpoints), Grade Determinations: Chaplain GS-12 (experience one year creditable experience equivalent to GS-11, specialty certification required for GS-12, demonstrated KSAs list), Preferred Experience (suicide prevention), References (VA Handbook 5005/135 PART II APPENDIX G67), Full performance level GS 12, Physical Requirements (walking, moving, speak, hear, work closely). Also maybe note about actual grade. We must preserve all details, including URLs. We need to format as list items; each item can be a sentence or multiple sentences. Ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract details precisely. From text: "Qualifications Applicants pending the completion of educational or certification/licensure requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met."
