Counselor III (LPC, LPCA, LCSW, or LMSW)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content includes:
- Who is Alpharus Health? (description)
- Why join us? (benefits of working there)
- Perks of working in correctional healthcare (list)
- Location: Atascocita - address
- About Our Atascocita Location (Harris County): description
- Work Schedule: Monday though Friday; 8:00AM - 4:30PM
- Counselor III responsibilities: list of duties
- Requirements: list
- Physical Requirements: list
- Compensation (based on experience and credentials): The range is between $60,000-$65,000 Starting rates...
- Benefits at Alpharus Health: list of benefits
- Alpharus Health is an Equal Opportunity Employer: ... (EEO boilerplate) -> remove.
We need to remove EEO boilerplate.
We need to keep all substantive info.
We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" could combine description of organization and why join us? Or we could have "About the organization". But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which are appropriate.
We have responsibilities (Counselor III responsibilities). We have Requirements (Master's degree etc). We have Physical Requirements (maybe part of Requirements). We have Benefits (list). We have Pay (Compensation range). We have Schedule (Work Schedule). We have location info maybe could be part of About the role or a separate section? Not in list but we could include as a short paragraph under About the role.
We also have "Why join us?" and "Perks of working in correctional healthcare". Those could be part of Benefits or maybe a separate "About the role" describing culture.
We need to avoid filler sections. So we will include sections that have real content.
Let's plan:
-
About the role
: include description of Alpharus Health, why join us, perks of correctional healthcare, location and facility description. Could be multiple paragraphs.
- Responsibilities
: list of Counselor III responsibilities.
- Requirements
: include education, license, experience, security clearance, physical requirements? Physical requirements could be separate but maybe combine under Requirements. However we have a separate "Physical Requirements" list; we could include as part of Requirements or as a separate section "Physical Requirements". The instruction list includes Qualifications, Skills, but not Physical Requirements. But we can still create a section if content exists; but they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine physical requirements into Requirements.
- Benefits
: list of benefits.
- Pay
: compensation range.
- Schedule
: work schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed.
We must not include EEO boilerplate.
We must not include application instructions (none present besides maybe not). There's no explicit application instructions.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include address, facility details, etc.
We need to format lists with - .
We need to use
for prose.
Let's extract details.
