DHHS Program Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "The work we do matters! Hiring Agency Health & Human Services - Agency 25 Location: Statewide, NE Hiring Rate $24.862 Job Posting JR2026-00029488 DHHS Program Specialist (Open) Applications No Longer Accepted On (If no date is displayed, job is posted as open until closed): 10-08-2026" We need to drop Job ID and maybe date? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with location, hiring rate, maybe date? But date is "Applications No Longer Accepted On ... 10-08-2026". That's a date; maybe we can include as metadata. However we should drop application instructions? The date is not an instruction; it's a deadline. Could be considered metadata. We can include in a short

. But we must not repeat job title as heading. The title is "DHHS Program Specialist". We can maybe include it in a

as part of metadata? Not required. Then "Job Description" paragraph: description of role. Then "Examples of Work The Program Specialist Will ..." bullet-like sentences separated by semicolons. We need to turn into list

• . Each item likely a duty. Then "Requirements/Qualifications" section: includes Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Other, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe the Job Description paragraph). Responsibilities (Examples of Work). Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications and Other?). Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). Benefits (the Benefits paragraph). Pay (maybe Hiring Rate $24.862). Schedule (not mentioned). So we should not create Schedule section because no content. We must not create sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". Not relevant. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's extract: About the role: The paragraph after Job Description: "The Department of Health and Human Services is seeking a motivated individual to join our Child and Family Services (CFS) Team and fill the role of Program Specialist to help shape and improve Child and Family Services programs through policy, quality assurance, data analysis, training, and technical support. This role works across teams and partners to identify opportunities for improvement and help ensure services meet both regulatory requirements and the needs of Nebraska families. Bring your experience to a team where it can make a broader impact. This position offers the opportunity to use your knowledge of child and family services beyond day-to-day casework, working with teams and partners to improve programs, support staff, and strengthen services for Nebraskans." That's substantive. Responsibilities: The "Examples of Work The Program Specialist Will" list: - Ensure Initial Assessments are conducted in compliance with Federal and State statutes/regulations and agency policy; supporting quality improvement by identifying trends, gaps, and training needs. - Ensure case management practices align with Federal and State statutes/regulations and agency policy; monitoring the quality of timeliness of services delivered to children and families; supporting field staff through consultation and policy interpretation. - Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to promote positive outcomes for children and families receiving CFS services and case management. - Manage and oversee the following specialized programs (CASA, LB 945, and the TANF-CEDARS Grant), ensuring compliance with Federal and State statutes/regulations for these specialized programs. - Assist in monitoring, organizing, and responding to inquiries received through the Central Office shared email inbox. - Review and track incoming emails and requests. We need to split each bullet as separate
• . The semicolons inside each bullet are part of the description; we keep them. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent coursework/training, in public administration, social/behavioral sciences, healthcare, human services or other program related field. Professional experience working in a human/social service or health care agency with responsibility for planning or evaluation services, programs or operational policies and practices may substitute in lieu of the educational requirement." That's a paragraph. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: "Past CFS experience in Initial Assessment as well as Ongoing Case Management. Prior CFS training or supervision experience. Program knowledge preferred is extensive knowledge of CFS case management policy and procedures. Other: Valid driver's license or the ability to provide independent authorized transportation." We could combine Preferred Qualifications and Other into Qualifications section. Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge, skill, ability statements. We can break into maybe
  but the instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities is a list but could be presented as

    • . However it's a long sentence with many items separated by semicolons. Could break into list items each representing a knowledge, skill, or ability. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could keep as

      preserving the semicolons. The instruction says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of knowledge, skills, abilities; arguably a list. Safer to use
        • . We'll split by semicolons? But there are many semicolons inside each clause. Might be messy. Perhaps better to keep as

          because it's not a simple list but a paragraph. The instruction: "Use

          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

            for prose." This is not duties/requirements/benefits; it's knowledge, skills, abilities. Could be considered requirements? Might be safer to use

            . We'll keep as

            . Benefits: Paragraph: "We offer a comprehensive package of pay, benefits, paid time off, retirement and professional development opportunities to help you get the most out of your career and life. Your paycheck is just part of your total compensation. Check out all that the State of Nebraska has to offer! Benefit eligibility may vary by position, agency and employment status. For more information on benefits, please visit: https://statejobs.nebraska.gov/index.html#benefits" We need to keep that. Pay: Hiring Rate $24.862. That's the pay. We'll put in a

            maybe under Pay section. Schedule: none. We also need to include location and hiring rate maybe as metadata in a short

            before sections? The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short

            or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with location and hiring rate (maybe also date). But we already have Pay section for hiring rate. Location could be in About the role? Might be separate metadata. Let's add a short

            at top: "Location: Statewide, NE. Hiring Rate: $24.862." But we already have Pay section; we could still include location there. However we should not duplicate. Perhaps we put location in a short

            and Pay section only includes the rate? But Pay section should have the rate; we can include location in About the role? Not ideal. Better: Have a short

            for location and maybe the date. Then Pay section includes the rate. But that duplicates rate? We could put rate only in Pay section, and location in short

            . The date we could drop or include in short

            . Let's include location and maybe the deadline date. Thus:

            Location: Statewide, NE. Application deadline: 10-08-2026.

            Then Pay section:

            Pay

            $24.862 per hour (hiring rate).

            Actually the posting says "Hiring Rate $24.862". Likely per hour. We'll keep as "$24.862". Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: Equal Opportunity Statement, etc. Remove. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

            Location: Statewide, NE. Application deadline: 10-08-2026.
