We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, EEO, scam warning, application instructions. Also we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Who We Are: description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about organization, not role. But we can map to "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit content into those categories. We have: - Summary: description of position: provides direct chairside support etc. That could be "About the role". - Essential Job Duties: list of duties -> Responsibilities. - Qualifications: includes Education And/or Experience, Certificates, Licenses & Registrations, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Behaviors. Could be split into Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (certificates), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). But we have separate headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. - Benefits: listed: competitive compensation and benefits package includes 20 days PTO, 9 paid holidays, health/dental/vision insurance, quarterly wellness reimbursements, generous 401k retirement plan with employer match, employer paid disability insurance, EAP and life insurance. Also employees voted Top Workplace etc. That's benefits. - Pay: Not explicitly stated. No salary range. So we should NOT create Pay section because no specific content. - Schedule: "Work Type: On-Site", "Classification: Full-Time, Non-Exempt", "Schedule: Four 10-hour days/week (closed on weekends)". Also "Language Differential: Eligible". So we have schedule specifics. So we can create Schedule section. - Also there is "WORKING CONDITIONS" with Work Environment, Physical Demands. Could be part of Responsibilities? Might be separate but not in allowed headings. Could be included under Responsibilities or maybe under Requirements? Probably we can include under Responsibilities as additional details. - Also "Neighborhood Health Center Employment Offers are contingent on successful completion of reference checks, background checks, drug screening for illegal substances, Tuberculosis, and any position specific credentialing or licensure requirements." That's like pre-employment requirements; could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. Might be considered under Requirements. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Already removed. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must preserve all substantive information. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

About the role

... summary ...

Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...
  • ...

Requirements

... education/experience ...

... pre-employment checks ...

Qualifications

  • ... certificates etc ...
  • ...

Skills

  • ... knowledge, skills, abilities ...
  • ...

Benefits

  • ... benefits ...
  • ...

Schedule

... schedule details ...

We must not create Pay section. Check that we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must ensure we don't create empty sections. Now extract specifics. About the role: The "Summary" paragraph: "This position provides direct chairside support to Dentists and/or Hygienists in the delivery of dental care and service at Neighborhood Health Center. This position may help to direct the Dental Assistant I and II in the delivery of patient care and clinic duties." We could also include "Who We Are" description? That is about organization, not role. But maybe we could include under About the role as context. However instruction: "About the role" heading for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can put the summary there. The "Who We Are" could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role. But we must preserve all substantive information. So we should include the "Who We Are" paragraph somewhere. Where best? Could be under About the role as introductory context. That seems fine. Thus About the role content: combine Who We Are and Summary. Who We Are: "Neighborhood Health Center is a non-profit organization local to Portland, OR serving underserved patients in the areas of primary care, internal medicine, dental services and more. Our patient-centered approach to care honors the unique needs and circumstances of each individual patient. NHC sees people, not problems, and recognizes that the time spent as a patient in a doctors office is only one factor in a persons overall health. Our leading edge, integrated clinical teams work in partnership with patients, their families, and the communities we serve to provide whole-person care, prevention, and ongoing support." Then Summary. We'll combine into a paragraph or two. Responsibilities: list of Essential Job Duties bullet points. Let's extract each duty: - Provides patients and their families with instruction on oral hygiene, oral disease prevention and post-operative instructions, including anticipated next steps and appointment information. - Sets up operatories and portable unit equipment and ensures that instruments, supplies, and equipment are immediately available for patient care. - Obtains and enters patient information into electronic dental record, including chief complaint, health history, medications, allergies, vitals, patient pain level - Provides direct clinical assistance to dentists and dental hygienists by performing 4-handed dentistry, including passing instruments for operative and oral surgery procedures and mixing filling and medicinal materials. - Performs expanded duty functions, including child and adult rubber cup oral prophylaxis. - Places temporary restorative material in teeth under the direction and review of a dentist, placing and removing matrix retainers for alloy and composite restorations, removing temporary crowns and cleaning teeth in preparation for final cementation, and performing preliminary fitting of crowns. - Takes oral impressions and pours models. - When sealant certified, places pit and fissure sealants under the direction and review of Dentist or Dental Hygienist. - Exposes x-rays and ensures all x-rays are suitable for diagnosis. - Maintains proper infection control practices at all times, including the following areas: PPE, hand hygiene, handling and disposal of sharps and biohazard waste, instrument sterilization, and dental operatory disinfection. - Communicates with Dentist of their daily schedule and patient information; communicate with dental team about schedule changes and informs providers of changes. Also maybe include "Language Differential: Eligible" but that's more a qualification/benefit? Could be under Skills? Actually language differential eligible means they get extra pay for language? Might be a benefit. But we can include under Benefits? Not exactly. Could be under Skills as ability to speak Spanish is highly preferred. But language differential eligible is separate. Might be under Benefits? Not sure. We'll keep it under Skills maybe as "Language differential eligible". But we have a Skills section for knowledge, skills, abilities. We'll include ability to speak Spanish as highly preferred there. Language differential eligible could be a benefit but not explicitly described as benefit. We'll maybe include under Skills as "Language differential eligible (eligible for additional compensation for language skills)". However we must not invent. The posting says "Language Differential: Eligible". That's a fact. We'll include it under Skills as a bullet: "Language differential eligible". Now Requirements: Education And/or Experience: "High School Diploma, or equivalent, is required. Completion of Dental Assistant training is required. One-year related experience and/or training required, or equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered." Also pre-employment: "Employment Offers are contingent on successful completion of reference checks, background checks, drug screening for illegal substances, Tuberculosis, and any position specific credentialing or licensure requirements." We'll put those under Requirements. Qualifications: Certificates, Licenses & Registrations: list: - A valid and unencumbered Oregon EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistant) certificate is required. - Sealant certification is required; NHC will provide in-house training and certification for any Expanded Function Dental Assistants who are hired without the certification. - Certification of Radiologic proficiency issued by the Oregon State Board of Dental Examiners is required. - Current BLS for Healthcare Providers/CPR certification is required. We'll put each as
  • . Skills: Knowledge, Skills, Abilities & Behaviors list: - Ability to fluently speak, read, and write in Spanish is highly preferred. - Ability to communicate professionally both orally and in writing with a service-oriented approach, sometimes in stressful circumstances. - Ability to maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA policies. - Ability to work in a fast-paced environment. - Ability to answer and utilize multiple line telephone. - Ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide in all units of measure, using whole numbers, common fractions, and decimals. - Ability to learn and adapt to changing information and/or policies and procedures. - Must be able to display sensitivity to the population and patients served. - Must be able to demonstrate a record of reliable attendance and punctuality. - Ability to learn and/or proficiently use Epic Electronic Health Record. Also we have "Language Differential: Eligible" maybe include as skill. Also "WORKING CONDITIONS" includes Work Environment and Physical Demands. Could be included under Skills or Responsibilities? Might be better to include under Responsibilities as part of job duties? But we can also add a separate section? Not allowed headings. We could incorporate into Responsibilities as additional notes. But we must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include Work Environment and Physical Demands somewhere. Perhaps under Responsibilities as extra bullet points. Work Environment: "Full-time positions may be scheduled to work 40 hours per week, with 4/10 hours workdays. Working days and locations may be variable. Occasional weekend availability may be required. As a result of high patient volume, this position experiences stressors that come along with a fast-paced environment. The noise level in the work environment is moderate to loud. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly exposed to toxic chemicals for infection control or blood borne pathogens and regularly handling contaminated sharp instruments." Physical Demands: "Frequently lift, move, push, or pull objects/equipment/supplies weighing approximately 20-25 pounds up to 40-50 pounds; use full range of body motion; walk, stand, move, stoop, reach with hands and arms and bend; sit for extended periods of time. Frequently use sufficient manual dexterity in order to safely perform various skills and techniques or manipulate equipment; see minor details from a distance, and differentiate between colors, shades, brightness textures and depth; hear and understand language as well as communicate language with several parties." We can include these as bullet points under Responsibilities or maybe under a separate heading like "Working Conditions" but not allowed. We'll add them under Responsibilities as additional duties/conditions. Now Benefits: list: - competitive compensation and benefits package which includes 20 days of PTO (based on full time employment) - 9 paid holidays - health/dental/vision insurance - quarterly wellness reimbursements - generous 401k retirement plan with employer match - employer paid disability insurance - EAP and life insurance - Employees voted NHC a Top Workplace in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and
