Direct Support Professional
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, etc). Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting: It includes summary about REM Community Services, mission, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" is appropriate. Then "Key Responsibilities" and "ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS" etc. That's responsibilities. Then "Minimum Knowledge and Skills required for the Job" includes Education and Experience, Certificates, Licenses, etc. That's qualifications/requirements/skills. There's also "Work Environment", "Physical Requirements", "Addendum: CS New Jersey". Those could be part of qualifications or maybe separate sections like "Requirements". There's no explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule mentioned. There's mention of "Position Type: Non-exempt, full-time or part-time, hourly role." That's schedule info? It mentions full-time or part-time, hourly role. That could go under Schedule? But schedule specifics not given. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Position Type: Non-exempt, full-time or part-time, hourly role. That's schedule info (full-time/part-time, hourly). So we could include a Schedule section with that info. Benefits: not mentioned. Pay: not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Pay.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO statement, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Sevita is a leading provider..." that's maybe about the company but could be considered "About the role"? It's more about Sevita. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's generic company description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Sevita description is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic. However it's substantive about mission. Might be okay to keep under About the role. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the mission statements etc.
We need to format using for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes into which section.
Potential sections:
- About the role: includes mission statement, description of REM Community Services, Sevita, belief statements, summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: includes Key Responsibilities and ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS (maybe combine). Could be a list.
- Requirements / Qualifications: includes Minimum Knowledge and Skills required for the Job (Education and Experience, Certificates, Licenses, etc), plus Work Environment, Physical Requirements, Addendum specifics (NJ). Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications but we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into a single "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, certifications, physical requirements, work environment, etc.
- Skills: maybe separate if there is a list of skills. The posting includes "Working knowledge of computers", "Valid driver’s license", etc. Those could be under Skills. But we could also put them under Requirements. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering qualifications, skills, physical, etc), Schedule (position type). That's four sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to extract the substantive content and format.
Let's gather content.
About the role:
- "REM Community Services, a part of the Sevita family, provides community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Here we believe every person has the right to live well, and everyone deserves to have a fulfilling career. You’ll join a mission-driven team and create relationships that motivate us all every day. Join us today, and experience a career well lived."
- Then maybe also the Sevita description: "Sevita is a leading provider of home and community-based specialized health care. We believe that everyone deserves to live a full, more independent life. We provide people with quality services and individualized supports that lead to growth and independence, regardless of the physical, intellectual, or behavioral challenges they face. We’ve made this our mission for more than 50 years. And today, our 40,000 team members continue to innovate and enhance care for the 50,000 individuals we serve all over the U.S."
That is substantive about the organization. Could be included.
We should not include the EEO statement at the end: "As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate..." That's boilerplate EEO, remove.
Also remove "MPA = Mobile Punch Authorized for timekeeping." That's maybe a note but could be considered metadata; but it's not boilerplate. Might be considered minor metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. "MPA = Mobile Punch Authorized for timekeeping." is minor metadata; we could drop or include in a p. Probably drop.
Now Responsibilities:
Key Responsibilities bullet list:
- Deliver support per individual service/program plans, including socialization, health maintenance, medication administration, skill/behavioral development.
- Assist with daily activities: Personal care, housekeeping, recreational activities, transportation, community integration, shopping, citizenship, and other activities of daily living.
Then ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS includes many sub-items grouped under categories: Services and Supports (Direct Support), Records, Management of Individuals’ Assets, Relationships, Reporting, Rights, Health Care (Appointments, Medications, General Health Care, Medical Supplies and Equipment, Meal Preparation), Employment Responsibilities (Training, Employee Scheduling, Teamwork, Workplace Safety, Maintenance (Vehicles, Housekeeping, Maintenance and Repair, Safety), Other.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not summarize away detail. So we need to list each of these as list items? Could be long but we must keep them.
We could group under headings inside the list? But we only allowed
- for any list. We could have nested lists? Not specified but we can use
- and inside li we can have further
- maybe. But to keep simple, we could make each essential function as a li, possibly with sub-bullets using
- . That's acceptable.
We need to avoid duplication: The Key Responsibilities overlap with essential functions; but we should keep both as they are distinct sections? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include both sections, but we could combine them under Responsibilities to avoid duplication? However they are separate headings in original; but we can combine as long as we keep all info. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could merge Key Responsibilities and ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS into a single Responsibilities section, listing all duties.
Thus Responsibilities section will contain a list combining both.
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills:
From "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.

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.

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.
We also have earlier mention: "Position Type: Non-exempt, full-time or part-time, hourly role." That's schedule.
Now we need to decide sections.
We'll have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
- ...
...
Schedule
Position Type: Non-exempt, full-time or part-time, hourly role.
We must not include Benefits or Pay.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Check for duplication: The "Must have a valid driver’s license in good standing" appears multiple times; we should keep but not duplicate? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate repeated sentences. We need to be careful.
Let's extract unique statements.
First, About the role:
Paragraph 1: "REM Community Services, a part of the Sevita family, provides community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Here we believe every person has the right to live well, and everyone deserves to have a fulfilling career. You’ll join a mission-driven team and create relationships that motivate us all every day. Join us today, and experience a career well lived."
Paragraph 2 (Sevita description): "Sevita is a leading provider of home and community-based specialized health care. We believe that everyone deserves to live a full, more independent life. We provide people with quality services and individualized supports that lead to growth and independence, regardless of the physical, intellectual, or behavioral challenges they face. We’ve made this our mission for more than 50 years. And today, our 40,000 team members continue to innovate and enhance care for the 50,000 individuals we serve all over the U.S."
We could combine into one or two
s. Use
for prose. Could be two paragraphs.
Now
