AdministrativeFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The summary includes description: "CYP Assistants work directly with children..." That's like About the role. Then Duties (with subcategories). Then Requirements (conditions of employment). Then Qualifications (entry, intermediate, target levels). Then Education (maybe part of Qualifications? but it's separate section). Additional information (Conditions of Employment cont.) maybe part of Requirements? But we should only include sections with real content. The posting includes: Summary (maybe About the role). Duties (with subheadings). Requirements (Conditions of employment). Qualifications (entry, intermediate, target). Education (must provide copy...). Additional information (Conditions of Employment Cont.) maybe duplicate of Requirements; but we can combine? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities (duties), Requirements, Qualifications, Education. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for each section heading. Use
for each section heading. 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. The text includes many details; we need to keep them.
We need to format duties: The duties are grouped into categories: curriculum, indoor and outdoor environment, interactions and relationships, supervision of children and youth, parent and employee communication, assessment, compliance, additional responsibilities. Each described below with bullet-like sentences. We can make a
for duties overall, with each category as maybe a - containing the description? Or we could have subheadings? But instruction: use
for section headings only. No subheadings besides those. So we can have a single Responsibilities section with a where each - corresponds to a duty category and its description. Must preserve all details; we can include the description text inside each
- . That seems okay.
Similarly Requirements: Conditions of employment list many items. We'll make a
with each requirement as - .
Qualifications: entry level, intermediate level, target level each with bullet points. We'll make a
for qualifications, each - containing the description for each level.
Education: separate section with
maybe plus
for bullet points? It includes: Must provide a copy of your H.S. Diploma, GED, or College Transcripts (showing degree awarded/conferred) when you apply.** Then entry level etc. Actually education details are under Education heading: Must provide a copy... Then entry level etc. We'll treat as a section Education with for the first sentence and then
for the bullet points (entry, intermediate, target). Ensure we keep all details.
Additional information: Conditions of Employment Cont. includes background checks etc. This seems like more requirements; could be merged into Requirements section to avoid thin sections. Since we prefer few substantive sections, we can combine all requirements (including those under "Conditions of Employment Cont.") into one Requirements section. That will capture all.
Thus sections: About the role (from summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (all conditions of employment etc.), Qualifications (entry/intermediate/target), Education.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
