We need to output HTML fragment with sections as needed. Must not repeat job title. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not include placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "The Home for Little Wanderers, Southeast Campus, located in Plymouth, MA is located on a beautiful 53-acre property, currently looking for Residential Counselors on a Relief basis to make a difference in the lives of youth who have experienced trauma and/or who have significant emotional and behavioral challenges in a residential setting. Our campus offers a unique recovery environment for youth, providing them with a respite from the challenging circumstances that have brought them into care, in a heavily wooded facility with a lake, walking trails, fields, a Project Adventure ropes course, and full gymnasium, utilizing evidence-based and trauma informed practices." That's description of role and environment. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities"? It's more about the organization and role context. Could be "About the role". - "How You'll Be Making a Difference" paragraph: training, focus on relationships, staff learn to work in groups, run activities, encourage new ideas, child-centered team approach. That could be part of responsibilities or maybe "Responsibilities". - "What To Expect In The Role": bullet list: Passing the CORI/background check and having a valid ID; Being physically active for an 8-10 hour shift; Participating in verbal de-escalation and physical intervention with youth; Multi-tasking in a changing and fast-paced treatment environment; Receiving and implement feedback in the moment and through a structured supervision process; Ability to work evenings, holidays, weekend shifts as required. That's responsibilities/requirements. - "Qualifications": HS diploma or equivalency; Experience working with youth, particularly in a similar setting preferred; Mainly we want people who want to help our youth, and are willing to learn how. We are happy to train people who want to make a difference in the lives of an amazing group of young people. - "Driving Requirements": bullet list: May be required to operate a vehicle; May be required to have a valid driver’s license and a “satisfactory” driving record; May be required to have access to a personal vehicle for use during work hours; May be required to use personal vehicle to transport clients on occasion if/when needed; If required to transport clients, must maintain the minimum amounts of liability insurance as required by The Home and/or other regulatory requirements and vehicle registration must be current. - "Impact Corps Residential Counselors can enroll in The Home’s Impact Corps - a fellowship learning track designed to provide adults with an opportunity to help serve vulnerable children and young adults while gaining industry experience in counseling, education, clinical roles, and leadership. Along the way, gain new training, hone your skills, and be eligible for bonuses adding up to $5,000 upon successful completion!" That's benefits (bonus, training). Could be Benefits section. - "Pay Range Positioning Summary": description about pay range, but no actual numbers. It says "The pay range listed represents the company’s good faith estimate of the salary or wage range for this position at the time of posting, as required under applicable law." It does not give actual numbers. Since we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them (specific numbers). It does not give a range, just description. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific numbers. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Benefits we have specific bonus up to $5,000, so we can include Benefits. - "Valuing Diversity": EEO boilerplate; we should remove that as boilerplate (diversity statement). It's EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate; remove. Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (maybe combine "How You'll Be Making a Difference" and "What To Expect In The Role" and Driving Requirements? Driving Requirements could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. We have qualifications: HS diploma, experience preferred, willingness to learn. We have requirements: CORI/background check, valid ID, physically active 8-10 hr shift, verbal de-escalation, physical intervention, multi-tasking, feedback, ability to work evenings/holidays/weekends. Driving requirements could be part of Requirements or maybe Skills? It's more like requirements. We also have "How You'll Be Making a Difference" which is more about responsibilities/duties. Thus we can structure:

About the role

Responsibilities

  • ...list of duties from "How You'll Be Making a Difference" and maybe "What To Expect In The Role" items that are duties.
But we need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract duties: From "How You'll Be Making a Difference": - New employees receive training in behavior support, crisis management, trauma informed care, and best practices in social services. - Focus on positive and healthy relationships, including belief that youth need to feel cared for to make progress. - Staff learn to work in groups and run activities designed to enhance youth healthy growth and development. - Encourage staff to come up with new ideas for activities and routines. - Focus on a child-centered, team approach to care. From "What To Expect In The Role": - Passing the CORI/background check and having a valid ID - Being physically active for an 8-10 hour shift - Participating in verbal de-escalation and physical intervention with youth - Multi-tasking in a changing and fast-paced treatment environment - Receiving and implement feedback in the moment and through a structured supervision process - Ability to work evenings, holidays, weekend shifts as required Driving Requirements: - May be required to operate a vehicle - May be required to have a valid driver’s license and a “satisfactory” driving record - May be required to have access to a personal vehicle for use during work hours - May be required to use personal vehicle to transport clients on occasion if/when needed - If required to transport clients, must maintain the minimum amounts of liability insurance as required by The Home and/or other regulatory requirements and vehicle registration must be current These could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. Since they are expectations/requirements, maybe put them under Requirements. Qualifications: - HS diploma or equivalency - Experience working with youth, particularly in a similar setting preferred - Mainly we want people who want to help our youth, and are willing to learn how. We are happy to train people who want to make a difference in the lives of an amazing group of young people. Skills? Not explicitly listed. Could be omitted. Benefits: - Impact Corps fellowship: gain new training, hone skills, eligible for bonuses adding up to $5,000 upon successful completion. Also maybe mention training in behavior support etc as benefit? But that's part of responsibilities. We'll create Benefits section with that. Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides ability to work evenings, holidays, weekend shifts as required. That's more requirement. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, shift times. So we should not create Schedule section because no explicit schedule. Pay: Not specific numbers, so omit. Now produce HTML. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft.
