Core Faculty, Counseling & Psychology (School & Community Specialization)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Expressing Interest" with application instructions; we should remove that. Also the EEO statement at end; remove. Also the collective bargaining agreement note maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered metadata; but we can keep as short paragraph? It says "Lesley University Core Faculty positions are governed by a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). To view our compensation targets for this position, please visit this link." That's maybe minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. Since it's not essential, we could drop it. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop that line.
We need to include Benefits section: they mention "We offer a competitive benefits package that includes health, dental, life, and long-term disability insurance. In addition, we offer significant paid time off, a generous retirement plan, and tuition programs that enable employees and their dependents to expand their knowledge and skills." That's specific benefits.
We need to include maybe "Why Lesley" section? That could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not required heading. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "Why Lesley" could be part of About the role or maybe Benefits? But we have Benefits separate. Could include a short paragraph about Lesley under About the role.
We need to include Qualities & Capabilities list: that could be Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. Let's decide:
- About the role: summary paragraph describing role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: teaching graduate courses, advising/mentoring students, contributing to curriculum/program development, engaging in scholarship, participating in departmental/university service, supporting accreditation/licensure requirements, collaborating with Associate Provost, Department Chair, student success staff to strengthen student learning, faculty development, growth of specialization; also help prepare students for licensure; advance program grounded in social justice etc.
- Requirements: maybe the mandatory qualifications: Hold or be eligible for Massachusetts DESE School Counselor and/or School Adjustment Counselor licensure (required). Also maybe hold PhD or terminal degree (or near completion) in Counselor Education and Supervision, Counseling Psychology, or closely related field. Also licensed or license-eligible in Massachusetts as LMHC, LICSW, LMFT, LPC, LPCC, or related behavioral health credential (preferred). Also demonstrate expertise in school-based counseling, prevention and intervention models, trauma-informed practice, restorative approaches, collaboration with families and community agencies. Also have graduate-level teaching experience. Also demonstrate strong commitment to social justice, equity, culturally responsive teaching and clinical practice. Also have experience advising and mentoring graduate students (strongly preferred). Also possess excellent communication, organizational, collaborative leadership skills.
We could split Requirements (mandatory) vs Qualifications (preferred) vs Skills (maybe capabilities). But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section maybe "Requirements". Or we could have "Requirements" for mandatory, "Qualifications" for preferred, "Skills" for capabilities. But that may be many sections. However we have substantive content for each. Let's see: The posting has "Qualities & Capabilities" list which includes many items. That could be Skills. The earlier bullet list under "The successful candidate will:" includes both required and preferred items. Could treat that as Requirements. Then "Qualities & Capabilities" as Skills. Then Benefits separate.
Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits.
We should not include Pay or Schedule.
Now we need to format.
We'll produce:
About the role
Lesley University seeks a Core Faculty member and Coordinator of the School & Community Programs who will teach courses in the master's and doctoral programs in Counseling and Psychology and provide academic leadership for the School Counseling and School & Community programs. Reporting to the Associate Provost for Mental Health and Wellbeing and working closely with the Department Chair, this faculty member will provide academic leadership for the School & Community specialization while teaching in the master's and doctoral programs. The successful candidate will help prepare students for Massachusetts licensure as School Counselors, School Adjustment Counselors, and Licensed Mental Health Counselors, while advancing a program grounded in social justice, trauma‑informed practice, culturally responsive counseling, and partnerships between schools, families, and communities.
Responsibilities
- Teach graduate courses in the master's and doctoral programs in Counseling and Psychology.
- Advise and mentor graduate students.
- Contribute to curriculum and program development.
- Engage in scholarship.
- Participate in departmental and university service.
- Support accreditation and licensure requirements.
- Collaborate with the Associate Provost, Department Chair, and student success staff to strengthen student learning, faculty development, and the continued growth of the School & Community specialization.
Requirements
- Hold a PhD or terminal degree (or be near completion by time of hire) in Counselor Education and Supervision, Counseling Psychology, or a closely related field.
- Hold or be eligible for Massachusetts DESE School Counselor and/or School Adjustment Counselor licensure (required).
- Be licensed or license‑eligible in Massachusetts as an LMHC, LICSW, LMFT, LPC, LPCC, or related behavioral health credential (preferred).
- Demonstrate expertise in school‑based counseling, prevention and intervention models, trauma‑informed practice, restorative approaches, and collaboration with families and community agencies.
- Have graduate‑level teaching experience.
- Demonstrate a strong commitment to social justice, equity, and culturally responsive teaching and clinical practice.
- Have experience advising and mentoring graduate students (strongly preferred).
- Possess excellent communication, organizational, and collaborative leadership skills.
Skills
- Expertise in school‑based counseling, prevention and intervention models, trauma‑informed practice, restorative approaches, and collaboration with families and community agencies.
- Strong commitment to social justice, equity, and culturally responsive teaching and clinical practice.
- Excellent communication, organizational, and collaborative leadership abilities.
- Ability to advise and mentor graduate students.
- Capacity to contribute to curriculum development, scholarship, and departmental service.
But note that Skills list duplicates some of Requirements. Might be redundant. Perhaps better to combine Requirements and Skills into one section "Qualifications". But we need to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having both Requirements and Skills may be thin. Could merge them into "Qualifications". However the instruction gave examples of headings but not mandatory to use all. We can choose to use only those headings that have real specific content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. That's four sections.
Let's decide: Use About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits.
In Qualifications we can include the required and preferred qualifications plus capabilities.
We must not repeat content verbatim? It's okay to preserve all substantive information; we can include them as list items.
Thus:
About the role

Benefits
- Competitive benefits package including health, dental, life, and long‑term disability insurance.
- Significant paid time off.
- Generous retirement plan.
- Tuition programs for employees and their dependents to expand knowledge and skills.
We should not include Pay or Schedule.
Check for any duplicated lines: We have not included the "Why Lesley" description; we could incorporate that into About the role maybe as a sentence: "Located in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Lesley University is highly regarded for its graduate and undergraduate programs..." That is substantive. Should we include? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that description somewhere. Could add to About the role paragraph after the role description.
Thus About the role paragraph could be two sentences: first describing role, second describing Lesley.
Let's craft:
