$16.1–$26.9/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). The posting includes many details: description, duties, qualifications, preferred qualifications, other requirements (driver's license, vehicle, ability to travel, work settings), classified title, job posting title, role/level/range, starting salary range, employee group, schedule, FLSA status, location, department name, personnel area. We need to map to sections: About the role (intro description), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe language fluency, driver's license etc), Benefits (none mentioned? There's no explicit benefits; we should not create Benefits section unless stated), Pay (starting salary range), Schedule (flexible, alternating late evenings and early mornings). Also maybe location? Not a required heading but could be part of About the role? The instructions only list those headings; we should not add others. So we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Benefits omitted because not stated. We must not include filler like "Commencement with experience" etc. Pay section: we have Starting Salary Range: $16.10 - $26.90 HRLY ($45,000 targeted; Commensurate w/exp.). The phrase "Commensurate w/exp." is filler? It's somewhat generic but it's part of the posting. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". So we should avoid including that phrase if it's just "Commensurate w/exp." Might be considered filler. Better to include only the concrete range: $16.10 - $26.90 HRLY ($45,000 targeted). The targeted $45,000 is specific. So we can include that. Schedule: "Flexible, to include alternating late evenings and early mornings as needed". That's specific. Now we need to format using

for each section heading, then content: use

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract. About the role: The first paragraph(s) describing the position: "The Department of Pediatrics is seeking a full-time, dedicated, bilingual Community Health Worker (CHW) in the General Peds division. The successful candidate will serve as a trusted bridge between immigrant Latino families and the healthcare system in Baltimore for the Centro SOL at Johns Hopkins University. This position is funded through a grant-supported initiative to address maternal health and mental health disparities among Latino immigrant families in Baltimore City and surrounding communities. The CHW will provide culturally and linguistically responsive outreach, care coordination, and community-based mental health support to pregnant and postpartum Latina patients receiving prenatal care at the Yard 56 OB/Gyn Clinic/Bayview. The CHW will also deliver the Strong Minds evidence-based mental health intervention to individuals experiencing mild to moderate depression under clinical supervision. This role combines community outreach, appointment navigation, resource coordination, and structured mental health support to improve maternal and behavioral health outcomes while strengthening trust between immigrant families and healthcare institutions. The CHW will work as part of a collaborative clinical and academic team and will represent Centro SOL as a member of its community outreach program." That's the About the role. Responsibilities: The "Specific Duties And Responsibilities" section with subheadings: Prenatal Outreach & Care Coordination, Mental Health Support — Strong Minds Intervention, Documentation & Data Management, Community Engagement & Representation. Also "Other" includes driver's license etc but that could go to Skills or Requirements? Actually "Other" includes driver's license, ability to travel, ability to work in clinical and remote/community-based settings. Those are more like requirements/skills. We'll handle them accordingly. We need to list duties as bullet points. Let's extract each duty. Prenatal Outreach & Care Coordination: - Conduct proactive outreach to Latina prenatal patients who miss or are at risk of missing scheduled appointments, using phone, text, and community-based contact as appropriate. - Identify and assess individual barriers to care, including immigration-related fears, transportation challenges, language access needs, and limited social support. - Facilitate re-engagement in prenatal services by connecting patients with appointments, transportation assistance (including Lyft partnerships), and other logistical support. - Coordinate referrals to food resources, social services, and community organizations to address social determinants of health. - Maintain consistent, trusting relationships with enrolled patients to support continuity of care throughout the prenatal and postpartum periods. Mental Health Support — Strong Minds Intervention: - Deliver the Strong Minds evidence-based intervention to pregnant and postpartum Latina patients experiencing mild to moderate depression, under the direct clinical supervision of Centro SOL's clinical team. - Administer PHQ-9 depression screenings pre- and post-intervention to track participant progress and outcomes. - Provide culturally responsive psychoeducation and structured mental health support addressing depression, stress, isolation, and migration-related trauma. - Identify patients in need of higher-level mental health services and facilitate timely referrals to appropriate clinical care. Documentation & Data Management: - Maintain accurate, timely, and complete records of all patient contacts, outreach activities, and service referrals using CHW outreach logs and documentation systems. - Track patient engagement, appointment attendance, and intervention participation using the EPIC electronic health record system and other program tools. - Prepare and submit required program reports and data to support program evaluation and funder reporting. - Attend and actively participate in clinical supervision sessions, team check-ins, and staff meetings. Community Engagement & Representation: - Represent Centro SOL as a member of the community outreach team at community events, health fairs, and partner meetings. - Build and maintain collaborative relationships with Baltimore Medical System, Hopkins Community Connection, and other partner organizations. - Serve as a culturally informed advocate for program participants, helping them navigate healthcare systems with confidence and trust. - Communicate regularly with the Centro SOL Executive Director and clinical supervisors regarding case updates, participant needs, and program progress. - Complete other tasks and activities as required. Other (maybe separate): Must have valid driver's license and access to a reliable personal vehicle; ability to travel within Baltimore City and surrounding communities. Ability to work in both clinical (in-person at Yard 56) and remote/community-based settings. We could put those under Skills or Requirements. Since they are not qualifications but rather job requirements, we can put them under Skills (maybe "Skills") or under Requirements. The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have separate sections for Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (maybe language fluency, driver's license etc). Let's allocate. Minimum Qualifications: - High school diploma or graduation equivalent. - Two years of related experience. - Additional education may substitute for required experience to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula. Preferred Qualifications: - Associate or Bachelor's Degree in a Health, Social Services, or related field. - Certification as a Maryland Community Health Worker (CHW) or willingness to obtain certification within the first year of employment. - Prior experience delivering structured or evidence-based mental health interventions (e.g., Strong Minds, or similar community-based programs). - Experience working in a clinical or healthcare setting, including familiarity with private patient information. - Personal lived experience as a member of the Latino immigrant community or as someone who has navigated immigration-related challenges. - Familiarity with Baltimore City's Latino community, community organizations, and social services landscape. - Prior experience in maternal health, prenatal care support, or postpartum services is highly desirable. - One year of experience in community outreach, patient engagement, care coordination, or a related community health role. - Fluency in Spanish (spoken and written) and proficiency in professional English (reading and writing). Skills: Could include language fluency (already in preferred), driver's license, vehicle, ability to travel, ability to work in clinical and remote/community-based settings. Also maybe ability to use EPIC, etc. But we already have language fluency in preferred qualifications; we could still list driver's license etc under Skills. Pay: Starting Salary Range: $16.10 - $26.90 HRLY ($45,000 targeted). We'll include that. Schedule: Flexible, to include alternating late evenings and early mornings as needed. Also we have other metadata: Classified Title: Community Outreach Specialist, Job Posting Title (Working Title): Community Health Worker (Pediatrics), Role/Level/Range: ACRO37.5/02/CC, Employee group: Full Time, FLSA Status: Non-Exempt, Location: Hybrid/Johns Hopkins Bayview, Department name: SOM Ped Bay Bayview Pediatric Unit, Personnel area: School of Medicine. Some of these could be considered part of About the role? But instructions say 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 after About the role maybe containing these details: "Classified Title: Community Outreach Specialist; Working Title: Community Health Worker (Pediatrics); Role/Level/Range: ACRO37.5/02/CC; Employee group: Full Time; FLSA Status: Non-Exempt; Location: Hybrid/Johns Hopkins Bayview; Department: SOM Ped Bay Bayview Pediatric Unit." That's minor metadata; we can include as a short

    after About the role. But we must not repeat job title as heading; we can include it in paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

    About the role

    ... (description) ...

    Classified Title: Community Outreach Specialist; Working Title: Community Health Worker (Pediatrics); Role/Level/Range: ACRO37.5/02/CC; Employee group: Full Time; FLSA Status: Non-Exempt; Location: Hybrid/Johns Hopkins Bayview; Department: SOM Ped Bay Bayview Pediatric Unit.

    Responsibilities

    • ... each duty ...
    • ...
    We need to group duties under subheadings? Not required; we can just list all duties as bullet points. But maybe better to keep subheadings as

    ? Not allowed; only

    for section headings. So we can just list all duties as bullet points; it's okay. But we need to preserve all substantive information; grouping not required. Let's compile bullet list. I'll create bullet list for each duty. Now Requirements (minimum qualifications) as
      . Qualifications (preferred) as
        . Skills: driver's license, vehicle, ability to travel, ability to work in clinical and remote/community-based settings. Also maybe ability to use EPIC? Already in responsibilities. We'll list those. Pay:

        Starting Salary Range: $16.10 - $26.90 HRLY ($45,000 targeted).

        Schedule:

        Flexible, to include alternating late evenings and early mornings as needed.

        Now ensure no extra sections like Benefits. Now produce HTML. Check for any leftover boilerplate: none. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine sentences. "The Department of Pediatrics is seeking a full-time, dedicated, bilingual Community Health Worker (CHW) in the General Peds division. The successful candidate will serve as a trusted bridge between immigrant Latino families and the healthcare system in Baltimore for the Centro SOL
