Child and Youth Program Leader

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary and duties. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have content: Summary (incentive bonus offered) – could be About the role? The summary describes role. Could put under About the role. Duties: many categories – that's Responsibilities. Requirements: includes conditions of employment (drug testing, background checks, etc.) – that's Requirements. Qualifications: includes knowledge, skills, abilities, education, experience – that's Qualifications. Skills: maybe separate but we have skills listed under Qualifications; but we could still have Skills section if we extract skill statements. However we must not create thin sections. The Qualifications already includes knowledge, skills, abilities. Could combine. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Possibly Skills if we separate skill statements from qualifications. But Qualifications already includes knowledge, skills, abilities. Might be okay to have Qualifications only and not Skills. Benefits: there is incentive bonus offered (new hire direct care staff incentives) – that's benefits. So we can have Benefits section describing the incentive: six months $1,000 plus 8-hour time off, twelve months $1,000 plus 8-hour time off. Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. So include Benefits. Pay: not specified (no salary). So omit. Schedule: not specified. Omit. Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to strip out the extra legal text at end (Executive Order etc.) That's boilerplate; remove. We need to keep the incentive bonus info. We need to keep the duties categories with details. We need to keep requirements: conditions of employment (drug testing, background checks, fingerprint, Tier 1, SCHR, E-Verify, pre-employment physical, immunization, communicable diseases, security clearance, training certificates, direct deposit). Also maybe mention "Test Designated Position (TDP)". Keep. Qualifications: knowledge, skills, abilities, education, experience. Must preserve details. We need to format lists appropriately. Let's extract content. About the role: from summary: "INCENTIVE BONUS OFFERED CYP Leader provides appropriate specialized developmental care and instruction for children and youth ranging in age from 6 weeks to 18 years in one or more CY programs. This includes the provision of guidance, assistance, and mentoring for the CY Program Assistants. Leader works under the direction of the supervisor or other qualified higher graded employee, who provides guidance on scope of assignments and assistance on the more complex, nonroutine problems encountered." Also maybe include "Duties Help The Child and Youth Program (CYP) Leader provides direct care and instruction to children and youth (6 weeks to 18 years) in addition to guidance, assistance, and mentoring for CY Program Assistants." That's part of duties but could be in About the role. However we have separate Responsibilities section for duties. So About the role can be the summary paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties grouped into categories: Mentor, Curriculum, Indoor and Outdoor Environment, Interactions and Relationships, Supervision of Children and Youth, Parent and Employee Communication, Assessment, Compliance, Additional Responsibilities. Each with bullet points. We need to preserve all details. So we will create
