Court Services Officer 1 (Pretrial Services - Criminal)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must include Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes SALARY range and schedule info: "SALARY: The salary range for this position is $54,434.49 to $89,181.84 for Schedule A, and $54,434.49 to $84,722.75 for Schedule B." Also mentions remote work up to 2 days, hybrid schedule, non-traditional work week includes Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, after hours on-call. So we have Pay and Schedule sections. Also we have About the role (intro paragraph about team, purpose). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Qualifications (education/experience). Skills (maybe interpersonal, organizational, case management). Benefits (maybe hybrid remote work, growth opportunity). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We must not invent sections. Use only those with real content. Let's parse content: - Intro: "If another position becomes available within five months of this recruitment’s closing date, the applicant pool from this posting may be used to fill additional vacancies." That's a note about applicant pool; could be part of About the role? Might be considered metadata but we can include in About the role? It's not boilerplate; it's specific. We'll include in a paragraph under About the role maybe. - Then: "When you come to work for New Jersey Judiciary you will join an 8500-member strong TEAM that operates with the highest standards of independence, integrity, fairness and quality service. You will be engaged with work that has purpose, meaning and makes a difference in lives of the public we serve. We work hard every day to build the public’s trust and confidence in our court system, which includes issues such as bail reform, marijuana decriminalization and recovery court. Whether it be in a courtroom, an administrative office, a courthouse training room, an IT office or in the field, our Judiciary workforce is improving the lives of countless individuals and families every day. We honor the dignity and individualism of each member of our organization while fostering professionalism and continuous improvement in our work." That's About the role / organization description. - Then SALARY section: details. - Then: "The Judiciary offers a strong opportunity for growth." That's Benefits/Growth. - JOB DESCRIPTION: "The Bergen Vicinage is seeking an individual to join the Criminal Division's Pretrial Services Program. The selected candidate must possess excellent interpersonal, organizational, and case management skills in order to perform the duties required of this position. The selected individual will regularly interact with pretrial defendants, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, the county jail, local law enforcement, the private bar, and the public. Note: Experience with pretrial services programs is helpful." That's Responsibilities or maybe Skills. - REMOTE WORK: hybrid schedule up to 2 days remote, need MFA app, high speed internet. - Example of Duties: list of duties. - Regular and predictable physical presence at the worksite is an essential function. - Qualifications: education and experience details. - Supplemental Information: Physical Ability, Driver's License, Authorization to Work, Special Note (background check), Residency Law. - How To Apply: instructions (should be removed per instruction: remove application instructions). So we drop that. - The rest about NJ Judiciary structure, Administrative Office, Equal Opportunity statement (EEO) - remove boilerplate. Thus we need sections: About the role (intro + maybe note about applicant pool), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (education/experience), Skills (interpersonal, organizational, case management), Benefits (growth opportunity, hybrid remote work), Pay (salary range), Schedule (work schedule details: non-traditional work week, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, after hours on-call, hybrid remote up to 2 days). Also maybe include note about physical presence? That could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content. Let's craft:

An associate degree from an accredited college or university and two years of additional paraprofessional or professional experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.

Education Note: Degrees conferred outside of the United States must be evaluated by a recognized evaluation service (see https://naces.org/members/).

Skills

Excellent interpersonal, organizational, and case management skills are required. Ability to interact effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders (defendants, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, law enforcement, etc.) is essential.

Benefits

The Judiciary offers a strong opportunity for growth. This position may qualify for up to 2 days of remote work per week under a hybrid schedule, provided the employee installs a multifactor authentication app on their phone or tablet and has high‑speed home internet access.

Pay

The salary range for this position is $54,434.49 to $89,181.84 for Schedule A, and $54,434.49 to $84,722.75 for Schedule B. For newly hired individuals, the starting salary will normally be at the minimum of the salary range. For current Judiciary employees, salary upon promotion or advancement will be an increase of 5% of base salary, not to exceed the maximum of the range, or the minimum salary of the band/level, whichever is greater. Judiciary employees hired prior to June 3, 2014, are considered Schedule A. Newly hired individuals, and Judiciary employees hired on or after June 3, 2014, are considered Schedule B.

Schedule

The position requires a non‑traditional work week that may include Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and after‑hours on‑call responsibilities. Regular and predictable physical presence at the worksite is an essential function. Hybrid remote work is available up to 2 days per week as described in the Benefits section.

We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed How To Apply, EEO, etc. Check that we didn't repeat job title. Good. Check that we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check that we included all substantive info: applicant pool note, team description, purpose, responsibilities, duties list, qualifications, skills, benefits (growth, remote), pay, schedule. Also included physical ability etc? Actually we omitted Physical Ability, Driver's License, Authorization to Work, Background check, Residency Law. Those are substantive info; we should include them perhaps under a section like "Additional Requirements" or "Supplemental Information". The instruction says we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we cannot drop those. We need to include them somewhere. Could create a section "Additional Requirements" or "Supplemental Information". But we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use "Requirements" for those supplemental items (physical ability, driver's license, authorization to work, background check, residency). That seems appropriate. Thus we need a

Requirements

section containing those details. We already used Qualifications for education/experience. Skills for interpersonal etc. Requirements for other mandatory requirements. Let's move the supplemental info there. We must ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's restructure: - About the role (intro) - Responsibilities (duties) - Requirements (physical ability, driver's license, authorization to work, background check, residency law) - Qualifications (education/experience) - Skills (interpersonal, organizational, case management) - Benefits (growth, hybrid remote) - Pay (salary) - Schedule (work week, on-call, hybrid remote note maybe but we already have remote in Benefits; but schedule includes non-traditional work week, on-call, physical presence.) We should avoid repeating remote work in both Benefits and Schedule; maybe keep remote in Benefits and mention schedule includes non-traditional work week and on-call. Could mention hybrid remote in Benefits only. But schedule section could still mention non-traditional work week and on-call. Let's craft Requirements:

Requirements

• Physical Ability: For some positions, applicants must have the ability to perform work which requires climbing and prolonged standing, stretching, bending and reaching to perform the essential duties of the position.
