Then description: "The work you'll do is more than just a job..." etc.
Then Minimum Qualifications sections: Clinical Program Therapist 1 LICENSURE..., Clinical Program Therapist 2 LICENSURE..., Experience/Education..., Preferred Qualifications..., Physical Requirements..., Additional Requirements...
We need to produce sections: maybe "About the role" (description), "Responsibilities" (maybe from description: Under limited supervision, this position provides specialized professional therapeutic programming... includes aspects...), "Requirements" (minimum qualifications), "Qualifications" (maybe preferred qualifications), "Skills" (maybe from knowledge/skills listed), "Benefits" (the benefits paragraph), "Pay" (salary ranges), "Schedule" (work shift/hours, days of work). Also maybe "Location" but not required heading; we could embed in About the role or a short p.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc as headings; fold minor metadata into short p or drop.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out the "How To Apply", "Contact", "About Corrections Dept", "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYERS", etc. Also remove "Benefits" section? Actually we need to keep Benefits if present; there is a Benefits paragraph describing benefits. That's substantive, so we keep Benefits section.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Thus we need to extract:
- About the role: The introductory paragraph about work you'll do, plus description of role: "Under limited supervision, this position provides specialized professional therapeutic programming to offenders in an alcohol and other drug treatment program. Incumbent is capable of performing all aspects of program content, including security, assessment/evaluation, psycho-educational programming, monitoring and reporting, teaching, training and professional standards. This position will work within a Minnesota Correctional Facility (MCF – Faribault) with direct contact with incarcerated individuals."
We could also include location and shift info maybe in About the role or separate Schedule.
- Responsibilities: Could be the duties list: "provides specialized professional therapeutic programming... including security, assessment/evaluation, psycho-educational programming, monitoring and reporting, teaching, training and professional standards." Might be considered responsibilities. Could also list tasks: assessment/evaluation, psycho-educational programming, monitoring and reporting, teaching, training, ensuring professional standards, security.
We could make a - list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (licensure, experience/education). Could be separate for CPT1 and CPT2 but we can combine.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: Knowledge of substance use treatment methods, knowledge of professional/legal/ethical standards, skills in verbal/written communication, documentation, interpersonal/human relations, basic PC skills, ability to provide substance use treatment, formulate/implement individualized treatment plan, develop continuing care plan, ability to teach psycho-educational course, function within multi-disciplinary team, exercise sound judgment, demonstrate appropriate professional boundaries.
- Benefits: The paragraph about benefits: paid vacation and sick leave, 12 paid holidays, low-cost medical/dental/vision/prescription drug plans, fertility care including IVF, diabetes care, dental/orthodontic care, 6 weeks paid leave for parents, pension plan, employer paid life insurance, short/long term disability, tax-free expense accounts, resources for well-being, support for career goals: training, classes, professional development, Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, Employee Assistance Program, Daily Living/Convenience Services.
We need to keep that.
- Pay: Salary ranges for CPT1 and CPT2.
- Schedule: Work Shift/Work Hours: Day Shift/8 am to 4:30 pm; Days of Work: Monday - Friday; Travel Required: No.
We could also include location maybe in About the role.
We must not include headings with empty content.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no or . Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes into lists vs paragraphs.
- About the role: prose
.
- Responsibilities: could be a
- list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe a

- Qualifications: preferred qualifications list.
- Skills: list of skills/knowledge.
- Benefits: list of benefits (maybe
