Child Welfare Specialist II (Investigations, In-Home Services, & Permanency Planning)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We have salary range: $27.57 to $34.46 per hour. That's Pay. Schedule: mentions after hours, weekend work, varying shifts, may be required to work varying shifts to include evening and weekends, may be required to staff shelters in event of disaster. So schedule info exists. Benefits: not explicitly listed; there is mention of "support, inclusive culture, and technology" but not specific benefits like health insurance, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits. So omit Benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe position summary). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Skills (knowledge, skills and abilities). Pay (salary range). Schedule (shift info). Also maybe include a short paragraph for metadata like Job ID? Not needed. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Remove "Please apply by October 2nd, 2026" (application instruction) - should be removed. Also remove "Please click on this link to view a Realistic Job Preview video." etc. Those are application instructions / links; remove. Also remove "We Are Currently Recruiting For Three Crucial Areas" maybe part of responsibilities? It's describing areas; could be part of responsibilities or about the role. We'll keep description of each area as part of responsibilities. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Let's extract content: - Intro: "Follow your calling, Find your career!!" maybe fluff; could be considered boilerplate? It's motivational but not substantive; maybe we can keep as part of About the role? But it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate; safer to omit. - Salary Range: $27.57 to $34.46 per hour. This is Pay. - "This is a non-exempt (hourly) position." Could be part of Pay or Schedule? It's about classification; maybe include in Pay section. - "Please note: Pay rates are based on education, skill, experience level and internal equity. Internal equity considerations include an assessment of the applicant’s salary history and qualifications in comparison to the market rate and requirements for the job." This is Pay detail. - At Mecklenburg County, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are with support, inclusive culture, and technology to become the best version of you. We’re counting on YOUR unique voice and perspective to help Mecklenburg County become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.
