Direct Support Professional
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We have:
- Hourly Wage: $22.80-$23.50 / hour -> Pay section.
- Position Overview: description -> About the role.
- Essential Functions: broken into Engagement, Services and Supports, Communication, Documentation. Those are responsibilities. So we can have Responsibilities section with list items.
- Training: mention training provided; could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be a separate section but we only have allowed headings; we could put under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably Qualifications includes required trainings? Actually Qualifications section includes education, driver's license, STOFLA, certifications. Training is separate but we could incorporate into Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Requirements (maybe includes required trainings) and Qualifications (education, license, etc). Skills maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills listed. Benefits we have list.
Schedule not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section if not present.
Pay we have.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; remove boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, etc. Also remove "Disclaimer" and "Statement" etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.

Additional training may be required or offered based on position, work location, or other extenuating circumstances."
Also Physical Demands: list of physical abilities. Could be under Requirements or maybe Qualifications? Usually physical demands are part of Requirements. We'll put under Requirements.
Also maybe "No prior experience in the field is necessary; we provide training and support to help you succeed in this rewarding role." That's more about qualifications.
We'll create Requirements section with list items: Required trainings (list), Physical demands (list), maybe also "Valid driver's license and motor vehicle report with minimal traffic violations" but that's under Qualifications. Actually Qualifications includes driver's license. So Requirements will contain trainings and physical demands.
Qualifications: list: Valid High School Diploma or GED, valid driver’s license and motor vehicle report with minimal traffic violations, pass STOFLA assessment, will be trained and required to maintain active CPR, First Aid, and Safety Care certifications as well as Medication Administration Authorization.
