Responsibilities
Then break down the essential responsibilities with sub-headings? The rules say use for section headings. The sub-sections like "Student Small Group", "Weekly Supervision Meeting", etc. could be but the rules only mention . I'll use for main sections and maybe for sub-sections? The rules say "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It doesn't forbid but suggests using for those main categories. I think I should use for the main sections and perhaps or for sub-sections. But to keep it simple and follow the spirit, I'll use for main sections and maybe for sub-sections within Responsibilities.
Actually, looking at the example list: "About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule" - these are the main section types. The sub-items under Responsibilities are detailed duties. I could make each responsibility area an or just use labels within list items. But the content is quite detailed with hours and specific duties. I think using for each responsibility area would be good semantic structure.
But the instruction says "use for section headings" - it doesn't say "only use ". I'll use for main sections and for sub-sections.
Let me draft:
