Direct Support Professional

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about ResCare Community Living, Sevita, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction: use

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 extract substantive content: Pay rate: $19.00/hour. So we have Pay section. Schedule: Not explicitly given; only says Position Type: Non-exempt, full-time or part-time, hourly role. That's not schedule specifics. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It doesn't give schedule details, so omit. Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit. Qualifications: The posting includes Minimum Knowledge and Skills required for the Job: Education and Experience: High school diploma or equivalent preferred Six months of experience in human services preferred. Must be 18 years of age. Working knowledge of computers. Certificates, Licenses, and Registrations: Valid driver’s license in good standing. Car registration and vehicle insurance if providing transportation for individuals receiving services. All state-required training(s) and certification(s) completed in mandated timeframes. Maintain valid driver’s license, meet all insurance requirements, and be approved by management to be a driver for the company. If an employee is determined to have lost their driving privileges by failing the company MVR driving record requirements per company policy, the employee will be required to sign a Non-Driver form and restricted from driving on behalf of the company until their MVR report satisfies the company requirements for a good driving record. Work Environment: Works at the program location and may accompany individuals into the community. Physical Requirements: Heavy Work. Exerting up to 100 pounds of force occasionally, and/or up to 50 pounds of force frequently, and/or up to 20 pounds of force constantly to move objects. Addendum: CS New Jersey – Refer to: CS NJ Addendum – Direct Support Professional _1001 _ MPA 3429 Employees must cooperate with the licensee and Department of Human Services staff in any inspection, inquiry, or investigation. Must have a valid driver’s license in good standing in The State of New Jersey; however, in the event the person lives in another state and is commuting, they must have a valid driver’s license in good standing for the state in which they live. At minimum, a High School Diploma/Equivalent is required All employees hired after 6/15/2018 shall submit to drug testing prior to employment. All employees shall submit to drug testing randomly and for cause/suspicion. Employees must submit to criminal background checks, and be determined not to be disqualified by the Department of Human Services prior to working with individuals served. In addition to this, it is a requirement that all employees agree to have their name checked against the Central Registry of Offenders Against Individuals with Developmental Disabilities, as well as completing an application to have their name checked against the Child Abuse Registry Information (CARI). Employees must successfully complete and demonstrate proficiency in all areas of required trainings. Shall be at least 18 years of age. That's a lot of qualifications. We can group them under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which sections to include. Probably include "Requirements" for education, experience, age, driver license, etc. Could also include "Qualifications" for certifications, trainings, background checks, etc. But we should avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine into one "Requirements" section covering all those. Also we have "Responsibilities" section: Key Responsibilities and Essential Job Functions. That's a long list; we can put under Responsibilities as a

  • . We also have "About the role": The initial paragraph about ResCare Community Living, Sevita, mission, etc. That's descriptive about the organization and role. Could be "About the role". We'll include that as a

    . Pay: we have Pay rate: $19.00/hour. So we will include a Pay section with

    $19.00/hour

    . We must not include Schedule or Benefits because not specified. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement at end is boilerplate; remove. Also duplicated lines? There's some repeated "Must have a valid driver’s license in good standing". We'll keep but ensure not duplicate? We'll keep once. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

    But that's huge; maybe we can split into multiple
  • items for each major category. However the instruction says use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can break each bullet as separate
    • . That is fine. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not lose details. The essential job functions list is long; we can break into separate
    • for each heading (Services and Supports, Records, Management of Individuals’ Assets, Relationships, Reporting, Rights, Health Care, Employment Responsibilities, etc). Ensure we keep all details. We also have "MPA = Mobile Punch Authorized for timekeeping." and "SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES None". Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short

      maybe under About the role or at end. But we should not create a heading for them. We'll include a short

      after About the role maybe. Also "Minimum Knowledge and Skills required for the Job" section includes Education and Experience, Certificates, Licenses, and Registrations, Work Environment, Physical Requirements, Addendum, etc. We'll put under Requirements. We need to avoid duplication: Some points repeat like "Must have a valid driver’s license in good standing". We'll keep once. Let's craft Requirements section:
