Complementary Therapist

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Employer heading: Complementary Therapist Band 5 Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust description (about the trust). That's "About the role" or "About the trust"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (or About the trust). The posting includes description of employer: "Complementary Therapist Band 5 Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the busiest...". That's about the employer. Could be "About the role" but maybe "About the trust". However we must follow examples; we can use "About the role". It's okay. - Job Overview: description of role location, etc. Could be part of About the role or separate "Job Overview". But we only have allowed headings list; we can map content to those headings. Probably "About the role" includes overview and employer description. - Main duties of the job: list of duties. That's Responsibilities. - Working for our organisation: flexible working, etc. Could be Benefits? Actually benefits are separate. This section includes flexible working, locations, etc. Could be "About the role" again? But we already have that. Maybe we can have "Working environment" but not allowed. Could incorporate into Responsibilities or About the role. - Detailed Job Description And Main Responsibilities: more responsibilities. - Role: description of therapies. - Person specification: Qualifications & Education, Knowledge & Experience, Skills & Abilities. - Important note on completion of reference section: application instruction (should be removed). Also Employer certification / accreditation badges, Applicant requirements, etc. Those are boilerplate/application instructions; remove. - Documents to download: mention benefits PDF etc. Could be Benefits section? There's a link to staff benefits. But we don't have actual benefits listed; just mention PDF. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions "Please see attached information on what Staff Benefits we have to offer at our Trust under ‘Documents to download’". That's not stating benefits; it's referencing a document. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. - Pay, Schedule: not mentioned explicitly. There's "Full & Part Time Hours/Week" but no specifics. It says "Full & Part Time Hours/Week" but no detail. That's placeholder; we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It just says "Full & Part Time Hours/Week" as a heading but no detail. That's likely filler; we should not include Schedule. - Pay: not mentioned. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Qualifications & Knowledge & Experience?), Skills, maybe Qualifications separate? The allowed headings include Qualifications, Skills. We can split. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract. About the role / employer description: "Complementary Therapist Band 5 Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the busiest and largest NHS hospital trusts in the country.

It's contact details; maybe we keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove application instructions. Contact info for informal visits could be considered not application instruction but still maybe we keep? It's not a boilerplate; it's substantive contact. However the allowed headings do not include Contact. Could we put it under About the role? Probably yes, as part of role details. We'll include a paragraph with contact info. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not include Pay or Schedule sections. We must not include Benefits section unless specific benefits listed; we have none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Requirements? But we have Qualifications & Education and Knowledge & Experience; we could combine into Requirements. But we have allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could use Qualifications for qualifications & education, Requirements for knowledge & experience, Skills for skills & abilities. That seems appropriate. Let's structure:

  About the role

  ... employer description + job overview + working environment + contact info?

  Responsibilities

  • ... duties from Main duties + Detailed Job Description + Role (therapies list) maybe combine.

  Requirements

  Knowledge & Experience essential criteria list.
