Apply today to be a part of something bigger. Health Care for the Homeless is an equal opportunity employer. Notice to Applicants Health Care for the Homeless participates in E-Verify. All newly hired employees are required to complete the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form and provide documentation proving their identity and legal authorization to work in the United States. We use the E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility in accordance with federal law. We need to remove boilerplate: equal opportunity employer, E-Verify notice, etc. Also remove application instructions like "Apply today to be a part of something bigger." Also remove "Read more about the people we serve here: https://..."? That might be considered a link but it's not boilerplate; it's part of "Why Join Us?" maybe keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. The "Read more..." is not an application instruction but could be considered part of "Why Join Us?" It's a link to more info; maybe keep as part of Why Join Us? but we need to decide if we include Why Join Us? as a section. The headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule, etc. "Why Join Us?" is not in the list; we should not create a heading for it unless it matches one of the allowed headings. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those. We have Overview (About the role). Then Key Role Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Then Formal Education and Training (Qualifications? maybe Requirements?). Then Experience (maybe Requirements). Then Skills (Skills). Then "Why Join Us?" is not a standard heading; we could possibly treat as Benefits? But it's not benefits; it's more about mission. Could be omitted if not matching allowed headings. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should only include sections that have content. If we don't have Benefits, Pay, Schedule specifics, we should not include those headings. The posting does not mention benefits, pay, schedule (except On-Site Hours: 8:30am - 5:00pm). That is schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Benefits and Pay not mentioned, so omit. We also have Department, FLSA Status, Supervisor, Leadership Level, Job Function, On-Site Hours. Those could be considered metadata; we could fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top with those details, maybe as a
. But we need to preserve all substantive information. The department etc are substantive? They are metadata but maybe we can include them in a short paragraph. The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with those details. Thus final HTML: maybe start with a
containing Department: Supportive Services; FLSA Status: Non-Exempt; Supervisor: No; Leadership Level: Individual Contributor; Job Function: Essential; On-Site Hours: 8:30am - 5:00pm. Then sections:
About the role
with paragraph(s) from Overview.Responsibilities
with- list each responsibility.
Qualifications
maybe combine Formal Education and Training and Experience? Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate. The posting has "Formal Education and Training" and "Experience". Could treat as Requirements (education, license, certification) and Qualifications (experience). But we need to decide. We have allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications. We could put education/license/certification under Requirements, and experience under Qualifications. Or we could combine. Let's map: Requirements: Formal Education and Training (HS diploma/GED required; Associate/Bachelor's preferred; valid driver's license required; clean driving record required; own reliable transportation highly preferred; Able to attain Maryland Community Health Worker Certification within six months of hire). Qualifications: Experience (At least 4 years experience reaching out to vulnerable individuals; At least 2 years experience connecting individuals to essential services; At least 1 year in a healthcare setting including EMR, medical terminology, interdisciplinary team). Skills: list. Schedule: On-Site Hours: 8:30am - 5:00pm. We should not include Benefits or Pay. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Also include the "Why Join Us?" content? It's not in allowed headings, but maybe we could treat as part of About the role? But it's more about mission. The instruction says remove boilerplate/EEO etc. "Why Join Us?" is not boilerplate; it's a motivational section. However, we don't have a heading for it. Could we incorporate it into About the role? Might be okay to add a paragraph after overview. But the instruction says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". It doesn't forbid adding extra content under existing sections. So we could add a paragraph under About the role that includes the Why Join Us? content. However, the Why Join Us? includes a link; we should preserve that link. It's not boilerplate. So we can include it. But we need to check if any of that content is considered application instructions? It says "Join us in advancing health equity..." and "Apply today to be a part of something bigger." That last sentence is application instruction; we should remove that. Also "Read more about the people we serve here: https://..." is okay. Thus we can keep: "Be part of a mission-driven team committed to racial equity, social justice, and community wellness.Work in a dynamic, people-first organization that centers compassion, authenticity, and hope.Receive training and support to grow in your advocacy and peer work.Help shape the future of housing and recovery services in Baltimore." plus the link. We need to ensure we don't duplicate lines. Now let's extract responsibilities list precisely. From "Key Role Responsibilities" paragraph: "Through service provision and regular supports for engagement, build low-demand relationships with assigned clients that results in improved engagement with services" "Provides supportive services in-home and in the community. These supports can include reminder calls, warm hand-offs, teaching/coaching on activities of daily living, benefit assistance and escorting" "Escort clients or coordinates transportation to off-site appointments to help facilitate adherence and connection to comprehensive care" "Problem-solves with clients as barriers arise to help client be successful with identified goals as well as helping them build skills that will be helpful in other circumstances" "Serves as the eyes and ears of the care team while their clients are in the community and shares information that may be helpful in care plan development" "Navigates clients through the housing process which may include Baltimore City Coordinated Access system, relocation services, and other housing resources" "Actively participates on an integrated, multidisciplinary team to develop and implement an integrated treatment plan, within the context of an individual or family’s unique social needs, as well as contribute to interdisciplinary case conferences on an ongoing basis." "Accurately and timely documents all interventions and encounters according to agency policy" We need to make each a - . Now Formal Education and Training: "High school diploma, GED or equivalent, required ; Associate or Bachelor’s Degree, preferred" "A valid driver’s license required clean driving record required with own reliable transportation highly preferred" "Able to attain Maryland Community Health Worker Certification within six months of hire" We need to preserve punctuation. Experience: "At least 4 years of experience reaching out to vulnerable individuals who are often the most difficult to serve" "At least 2 years of experience in connecting individuals to essential services including healthcare, mental health, and addiction services" "At least 1 year in a healthcare setting including working with an electronic medical record (EMR) system, relaying medical terminology and working within an interdisciplinary care team" Skills: "Knowledge of Baltimore City community resources for addiction, social services and mental health" "Demonstrates personal integrity and has well-developed interpersonal skills necessary to engage clients and promote positive relationships with other community agencies and providers" "Able to be flexible and work as part of an interdisciplinary team" "Able to take initiative and problem solve" "Able to work with ill, disabled, emotionally upset, and sometimes hostile clients" "Able to provide outreach services via walking, car, or mass transit" "Must be able to prioritize
