Direct Care Associate
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. 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 parse the job posting content.
Let's extract substantive content:
- Opening: "WE WANT YOU TO JOIN OUR TEAM! We are looking for a Direct Care Associate to join the North Dakota State Penitentiary (NDSP) Medical Department. If you are excited by challenges, provide the best possible care to our residents, want to join a high-performing and constantly evolving agency, this opportunity is for you! This position offers a fantastic benefits package to include, state-paid family health insurance (no monthly premium to you), retirement, paid holidays, vacation and sick leave that begin to accrue on day one, and more. For more information, go to: https://www.omb.nd.gov/team-nd-careers/team-nd-benefits Join our diverse team of professionals where we share a collective vision for healthy and productive neighbors, a safe North Dakota. Our mission: Transforming lives, influencing change, strengthening community."
- Summary of Work: "You will provide direct care, assistance, and/or training to individuals in special populations. Work is performed under general supervision and will involve providing for the care and welfare of individuals in special populations including those with mental illness or developmental disabilities, and/or others needing special care or services."
- Minimum Qualifications: "Requires a high school diploma or GED and two years of work experience providing direct care to special populations. Applicable education, training, or medical certification may be substituted for one year of the work experience requirement. CNA certification required."
- About Team ND: includes quote and description: "More than 7,500 talented, hard-working people across sixty-three agencies have come together as Team North Dakota. At Team ND, we are driven to succeed through gratitude, humility, curiosity and courage. Our purpose is to empower people, improve lives, and inspire success. Join us in being legendary."
- Total Rewards: "The State of North Dakota is committed to providing team members with a strong and competitive rewards package that support you, your health and your family. Considering a new position on Team ND? How does your current position stack up? Use our Total Rewards Calculator to estimate."
- Application Procedures: "All applications for open DOCR positions must be made via the Careers site. Application materials must be received by 11:59 PM on the closing date listed above. All potential applicants must attach and/or upload the following documents: ResumeTranscripts upon pre-hire process Application materials must clearly explain how experience and education are related to the minimum qualifications and job duties. Contact Lexi Archambault at amarchambaultt@nd.gov or TTY 800-366-6888 for more information or assistance in the application or interview process."
- EEO: boilerplate to remove.
- Also metadata: Job ID, Location, Salary Range, Full/Part Time, FLSA Status, Closing Date. We need to fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. 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
with location, salary, etc. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include location, salary range, full/part time, closing date maybe. However we need to avoid duplication. The posting repeats many times; we need to deduplicate.
We need to decide sections: Likely sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Summary of Work), Requirements/Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications), Benefits (fantastic benefits package), About Team ND (maybe as About the organization), Total Rewards (maybe part of Benefits). But we must not create sections with filler. We need to include only sections with real content.
We have content for:
- Intro / About the role: The opening paragraph describing the role and mission.
- Responsibilities: Summary of Work.
- Requirements / Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications.
- Benefits: The fantastic benefits package (state-paid family health insurance, retirement, paid holidays, vacation and sick leave accruing day one, etc.) plus maybe Total Rewards.
- About Team ND: description of organization.
- Possibly Pay: Salary range is given: Salary Range From 3590.00 To 3590.00 Monthly. That's a specific number: $3590 monthly. So we have pay info. Should we create a Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we can include Pay section. However we also have Benefits section already. We could combine Pay and Benefits? But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into a "Compensation and Benefits" section, but headings must be from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use either Benefits or Pay. Since we have both, we could have two sections: Benefits and Pay. But that's two thin sections; maybe combine into Benefits (including pay) but heading must be Benefits. However they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state benefits, so Benefits section is okay. It also states pay, so Pay section is okay. But we could also include pay within Benefits section as part of benefits description; but then we would not have a Pay section, which is okay because we are not required to include Pay if we don't want to. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections. We could include Benefits section that includes both benefits and pay info. That would be one substantive section. However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include pay details inside Benefits section. That seems acceptable.
We also have Schedule? Not mentioned besides Full-Time. Could include Schedule section? Not explicitly stated besides Full-Time. Could be considered schedule info but not detailed. Probably not needed.
Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (Summary of Work), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Benefits (including pay, benefits, total rewards, maybe Team ND?), About Team ND maybe as separate section? Could combine About Team ND into About the role? But About the role is about the job; About Team ND is about organization. Could be separate section: "About Team ND". However headings list does not include "About Team ND". Only allowed headings are those listed. So we cannot create a heading like "About Team ND". We must use only those headings. So we need to fit organization description under one of the allowed headings. Perhaps under "About the role" we can include both role and organization description. Or we could put it under "Requirements"? No. Better to put under "About the role". That heading is allowed.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role: includes introductory paragraph, mission, organization description (Team ND), maybe total rewards.
- Responsibilities: Summary of Work.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Benefits: includes benefits package, pay, total rewards.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract unique content.
Intro paragraph: "WE WANT YOU TO JOIN OUR TEAM! We are looking for a Direct Care Associate to join the North Dakota State Penitentiary (NDSP) Medical Department. If you are excited by challenges, provide the best possible care to our residents, want to join a high-performing and constantly evolving agency, this opportunity is for you!

Our mission: Transforming lives, influencing change, strengthening community."
We might split benefits sentence out to Benefits section. But we can keep intro without benefits details? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to keep the benefits mention somewhere. We'll put benefits details in Benefits section, but we can keep a generic sentence about fantastic benefits package in About the role? Might be duplication. Better to keep About the role focusing on role and mission, and move benefits details to Benefits section.
Thus About the role content: "We are looking for a Direct Care Associate to join the North Dakota State Penitentiary (NDSP) Medical Department. If you are excited by challenges, provide the best possible care to our residents, want to join a high-performing and constantly evolving agency, this opportunity is for you! Join our diverse team of professionals where we share a collective vision for healthy and productive neighbors, a safe North Dakota. Our mission: Transforming lives, influencing change, strengthening community."
We could also include the quote from Theodore Roosevelt? That appears under About Team ND: "Far and away the best prize life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." - Theodore Roosevelt More than 7,500 talented, hard-working people across sixty-three agencies have come together as Team North Dakota. At Team ND, we are driven to succeed through gratitude, humility, curiosity and courage. Our purpose is to empower people, improve lives, and inspire success. Join us in being legendary."
That's substantive about organization. We could include that in About the role as well.
Thus About the role will combine: role description, mission, organization description (Team ND stats, values, purpose), maybe the quote.
Now Responsibilities: "You will provide direct care, assistance, and/or training to individuals in special populations. Work is performed under general supervision and will involve providing for the care and welfare of individuals in special populations including those with mental illness or developmental disabilities, and/or others needing special care or services."
Requirements: "Requires a high school diploma or GED and two years of work experience providing direct care to special populations. Applicable education, training, or medical certification may be substituted for one year of the work experience requirement. CNA certification required."
Benefits: Need to include: state-paid family health insurance (no monthly premium), retirement, paid holidays, vacation and sick leave that begin to accrue on day one, and more. Also salary range: $3590 monthly. Also Total Rewards: "The State of North Dakota is committed to providing team members with a strong and competitive rewards package that support you, your health and your family. Considering a new position on Team ND? How does your current position stack up? Use our Total Rewards Calculator to estimate."
Also link for more info: https://www.omb.nd.gov/team-nd-careers/team-nd-benefits
We should preserve that link.
Thus Benefits section will have a paragraph describing benefits, maybe a list for specifics.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for benefits we can list items: state-paid family health insurance (no monthly premium), retirement, paid holidays, vacation leave, sick leave (accrue day one). Also maybe "and more". We'll list those.
Also we can include pay as
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. 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.
