Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID heading. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Overview: description of duties. That's about the role and responsibilities.
We need to separate sections.
We have:
- Overview: description of duties: supervisory work involving custody, treatment, training of incarcerated individuals; supervises correctional staff and incarcerated individuals; supervision and technical assistance to lower ranking officers; work performed per SOP; may conduct transportation of medication; responsible for conducting searches and inventories; evaluates staff and performance; may prepare written report; may investigate grievances and participate in disciplinary hearings; may participate in revision and implementation of facility procedures and programs; performs related duties as required.
That's responsibilities.
- Schedule: "This position follows a 2-2-3 schedule. In a 2-2-3 rotation, you work two consecutive days, followed by two days off, and then work three consecutive days before having another two days off. This rotation repeats, providing you with regular periods of rest while ensuring continuous coverage of operations. The 2-2-3 schedule offers predictable work hours, flexibility, and longer stretches of consecutive days off for you to rest and recharge and a 3-day weekend every other week. Due to post and shift bidding, this position may be placed on any shift depending on seniority. Overtime work is required to maintain safe staffing levels and is considered a condition of employment."
Thus schedule content.
- Pay: Not explicitly mentioned. There's no salary figure. So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Benefits: There's a "Total Compensation" section describing benefits: medical premium, dental, holidays, leave, FMLI, pension, 457(b), tuition reimbursement, flexible spending, life insurance, wellness program, PSLF. That's benefits.
- Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications listed: high school diploma or equivalent AND 18 months experience in correctional system or psychiatric facility; OR Associate's degree or higher AND 1+ years experience in correctional system; OR 1+ years military experience AND 1+ years experience in correctional system.
Also Physical and Mental Requirements: mental and physical condition appropriate to perform essential functions; note about felony waiver; misdemeanor supervision within past 5 years ineligible without waiver; DOC PREA requirements; Conviction History Requirements; Special Requirements (overtime required, background investigation, etc). Those are qualifications/requirements.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications and requirements), Qualifications (maybe separate), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits, Schedule.
We have no explicit Skills list. Could infer from duties but better not to create thin section. So we may omit Skills.
We have Requirements: maybe include "Minimum Qualifications" and "Physical and Mental Requirements" and "Special Requirements". Could be under Requirements.
We have Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements. But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called "Requirements". Or we could have "Qualifications" for education/experience and "Requirements" for physical/mental etc. But that may be thin.
Better to have sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications, physical/mental, special), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include Pay.
We must not include EEO etc.
We must preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract details.
About the role: maybe a brief summary: "Correctional Officers II provide supervisory work involving the custody, treatment and training of incarcerated individuals confined within a correctional facility. Supervises correctional staff and incarcerated individuals in a correctional setting. Supervision and technical assistance are provided to lower ranking officers in a unit, or as part of their on-the-job training. Work is performed in accordance with standard operating procedures of the facility, and under the supervision of a shift supervisor or a technical superior who makes assignments and reviews work through personal observation and report."
That's from overview.
Responsibilities: list of duties: conduct transportation of medication from clinical facility to correctional facility (verifying correct medication and count); conduct searches and inventories of property, sharps, and other inventories as needed; evaluate staff and performance in relation to assigned duties and roles, evaluate trends in behavior and performance, may prepare written report on under his or her supervision; may investigate grievances and participate in disciplinary hearings; may participate in revision and implementation of facility procedures and programs; performs related duties as required.
We could bullet list.

Physical and Mental Requirements: mental and physical condition appropriate to successfully perform essential job functions; note about felony waiver; misdemeanor supervision within past 5 years ineligible without waiver; DOC PREA requirements (contact previous institutional employers for info regarding substantiated incidences of sexual abuse or resignation during pending investigation); Conviction History Requirements (felony conviction or misdemeanor supervision/sanction within past 5 years requires waiver); Special Requirements: overtime work required to maintain safe staffing levels, considered condition of employment; ability to work overtime as required is essential function; candidates must pass any level of background investigation applicable; AHS Policy 4.02 hiring standards: VT and/or national criminal record checks, DMV and adult and child abuse registry checks as appropriate, except for current classified state employees seeking transfer/promotion/demotion into AHS classified position or persons exercising re-employment (RIF) rights.
Also mention: A valid motor vehicle operator's license is required (under Environmental Factors). Also mention: High stress situations predictable/frequent; potential of physical assault or injury present; transportation and supervision of inmates outside facility may be required; Overtime and emergency duty predictable; Shift assignments may change per facility needs.
These are also requirements/environmental factors.
We could include them under Requirements.
Benefits: list as given.
Schedule: description.
Now produce HTML.
We need to use for section headings. Use
