Community Correctional Officer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The posting includes Overview, Who May Apply, Environmental Factors, Minimum Qualifications, DOC PREA Requirements, Conviction History Requirements, Special Requirements, Total Compensation, Equal Opportunity Employer. We need to include only sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID as heading. Must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip out Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO) boilerplate? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should not include that section. Also remove application instructions like "Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online..." etc. Also remove contact email? Possibly keep contact? The instruction: "If you would like more information about this position, please contact Camryn.Kane@vermont.gov." That's contact info; not sure if considered boilerplate. Might keep as a short paragraph? It's not a heading. It's not a list. Could be included as a
. However, it's not a section heading. The instruction says we can include a short
for minor metadata. So we could include contact info in a paragraph. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content: Overview paragraph: "Community Correctional Officers provide supervision, rehabilitation, and support services to offenders under the supervision of the Probation and Parole Division of the Vermont Department of Corrections. They utilize both risk control and risk management services as part of a supervision team of high-risk offender. Work is performed in accordance with correctional policies, directives, and procedures under the supervision of an administrative superior.

Understanding of victim awareness; knowledge of domestic violence and sexual offenders; ability to communicate effectively to a team the dynamics observed during field contacts; ability to maintain a professional rapport with local law-enforcement agencies and community partners." Who May Apply: "Prior Corrections, law-enforcement, or military experience preferred. This position, Community Correctional Officer (Job Requisition #55807), is open to all State employees and external applicants." Also contact line: "If you would like more information about this position, please contact Camryn.Kane@vermont.gov." We'll keep contact maybe. Environmental Factors: "Duties are performed in the homes, places of employment, and other locations frequented by assigned inmates as well as in a standard office setting. Duties include working closely with local police departments in arrest situations or in the performance of field supervision check. High stress situations are predictable, even frequent. The potential of physical assault or injury is present. A valid motor vehicle operator's license is required. Overtime and emergency duty are predictable. Shift assignments may change in accordance with the needs of the office, including any of three shifts and weekend assignments as well potentially working within a correctional facility." Minimum Qualifications: "Bachelor's degree in criminal justice, social service or a related human services field OR Associate's degree AND one (1) year or more of experience in corrections, human services, military service, law enforcement or other related field. OR High School diploma or equivalent AND two (2) years or more of experience in corrections, human services, military service, law enforcement or other related field.

DOC PREA Requirements: "In accordance with federal regulation, any person applying for employment in the Department of Corrections must provide relevant information.

Total Compensation: paragraph describing benefits list. We need to format as
- for list of benefits. The paragraph includes list: "80% State paid medical premium and a dental plan at no cost for employees and their families Work/Life balance: 12 paid holidays each year and a generous leave plan State Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) Two ways to save for your retirement: A State defined benefit pension plan and a deferred compensation 457(b) plan Tuition Reimbursement Flexible spending healthcare and childcare reimbursement accounts Low cost group life insurance Incentive-based Wellness Program Qualified Employer for Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program". We'll turn each bullet as
- . Might need to split sentences.
We must not include Pay or Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It does not give specific pay or schedule details, so we omit those headings.
We must not include Benefits heading unless there is real specific content. There is Total Compensation section describing benefits; we can use
Benefits
(since Benefits is allowed heading). Or we could use Total Compensation heading but instruction says use headings like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should use Benefits. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will have sections: Overview (maybe use About the role? But we can use Overview as heading? The instruction says usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to use headings from list that match content: Overview could be "About the role". Who May Apply could be "Qualifications"? Actually Who May Apply is about eligibility; could be under "Qualifications". Minimum Qualifications is definitely "Qualifications". Environmental Factors maybe "Responsibilities"? Not exactly. Could be "Responsibilities" for duties. But we have duties described in Overview and Environmental Factors. Could combine. However we need to preserve all info; we can create sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (environmental factors + duties), Qualifications (who may apply + minimum qualifications), Requirements (PREA, conviction history, special requirements), Benefits (total compensation). That seems reasonable. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we avoid heading "Community Correctional Officer". Good. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:
