- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

Make sure to preserve exact wording? We should preserve substance but can adjust minor punctuation for readability. Must not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep sentences as is. Let's craft. About the role paragraph 1: trust description. Paragraph 2: job overview (excluding interview date and hours, and "You will be redirected..." etc).

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to both operational and strategic leadership of a busy, growing, friendly and supportive team. You will join a committed group of leads in our paediatric, neuropsychology, community and specialist services and will work closely with the CPPO to maintain and develop services." Note there was a duplicate "and and". We'll correct to "and". That's minor edit but preserves meaning. Now Responsibilities list items: We need to split sentences: 1.
