Counselor

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have sections where content exists. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Content: - About Us: description of Pinnacle Treatment Centers. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company. Could map to "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" heading for overview of position. The posting includes "Position Overview:" which is about role. Also "About Us:" about company. We could combine? Probably "About the role" should contain position overview. We'll include that. - Responsibilities: there is a big list under "Key Responsibilities". We'll put those as

• . - Qualifications: there is a section "Qualifications" with details for Counselor I, II, III. We'll put that. - Benefits: there is "Teammate Appreciation Benefits:" with bullet list: Variable Pay Structure, Defined Career Pathing, Bonus Incentives, STAR LRP Eligibility, Continuing Education, Paid Time Off, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives, Free Clinical Supervision. Also maybe other benefits. We'll put those. - Pay: there is pay ranges within Qualifications (Counselor I: $20/hour to $22/hour etc). Also "Variable Pay Structure: Competitive compensation based on experience, education, and licensure." So we can have Pay section summarizing pay ranges. Since pay is mentioned, we include Pay. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's part-time? Title says "Part-time Pinnacle’s Voice: A Tale of Transformation & Recovery". But no schedule details. So we should not create Schedule section because no specific content. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe implied but not specific. We should not create Skills unless there is real specific content. There's no explicit skills list. So omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific pay ranges. We need to format as HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. About the role: include Position Overview paragraph. Responsibilities: list each responsibility as
• . The responsibilities are many sentences; we can split each sentence as separate
• . Must preserve all detail. Qualifications: include details for Counselor I, II, III. We'll put as
  • each bullet. Benefits: list each benefit as
  • . Pay: include pay ranges and variable pay structure. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is equal employment opportunity statement; we must remove. Also remove "Join our Team & Start Saving Lives Today" maybe it's call to action; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly instruction but could be considered promotional. Might be okay to keep? The instruction: remove application instructions. This is not exactly instruction but could be considered a call to apply. Safer to omit. Also remove "Part-time Pinnacle’s Voice: A Tale of Transformation & Recovery" quote at top? That's a patient quote; maybe part of About Us? Could be considered content but not a heading. We could include as a paragraph under About the role? It's a quote from a patient. Might be considered substantive. We'll include it as a

    under About the role. Let's extract. Patient quote: “I found myself like a lot of people in a position I never thought I would be in. I needed help bad… It all started with a call… one of the easiest and hardest things I’ve ever done. Every day I wake up and think how good it feels and how lucky I am to have found this place.” Patient, Pinnacle Treatment Centers We'll include as a paragraph. About Us: "Pinnacle Treatment Centers is a leading provider of comprehensive addiction treatment services, committed to transforming lives through compassionate care.

"Comply with and implement the Medical Q.A (Quality Assurance) and Clinical Risk Management Policies, including:" Then subpoints: We need to preserve detail. Could treat each subpoint as separate

  • under responsibilities? Might be nested but we can flatten. List subpoints: "Evaluate the patients for any high-risk conditions (e.g., liver failure, pregnancy, overdose, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc.), which may endanger the patient (suicidal) or other parties (homicidal)."
