Direct Support Professional (CLS)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting is a job description for a Direct Support Professional (maybe). It includes mission statement, responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, etc. We need to parse content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. There's no explicit benefits, pay, schedule mentioned. So we should not create those sections unless present. The posting mentions "Training on Personal Outcome Measures (POM) is required prior to completion of evaluations and assessments." That's a requirement. Also "High School Diploma or equivalent preferred." "Must submit a valid NYS drivers' license, and maintain a qualified driver status throughout employment." "Must have the ability to communicate and understand written and oral directives/information". Physical aspects: lifting, transferring. Also "This position requires regular and substantial unsupervised or unrestricted physical contact with people receiving services and, therefore, is subject to successful completion of fingerprint/criminal background check."
Thus we can have sections: About the role (maybe mission statement and purpose), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (education, license, background check, training), Qualifications (maybe skills like communication, physical ability), maybe Skills (list of specific skills). But we must avoid thin sections. We can combine.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point as list items.
Let's extract responsibilities:
- Practice and promote the agency’s mission statement and guiding principles in every interaction.
- Provide ongoing support to the people that live in the Community Living Services program to ensure that a high quality of life is maintained.
- Provide support in the areas of, for example, self-care routines, health, safety, household chores, socialization, and overall wellbeing.
- Provides ongoing guidance and support to individuals with intellectual and other disabilities to ensure active participation in every aspect of their lives (i.e., self-care routines, health, safety, household chores, socialization and overall wellbeing).
- Provide only the level of support necessary for each individual to ensure independence and engagement in their daily routine.
- Provide support to become active members of the community, as well as maintain and build upon natural supports and relationships.
- Ensures a safe and clean home by providing support to individuals to assist them with the completion of household chores and by participating in said household chores as needed.

- Supports individuals in preparing meals by teaching concepts such as diet adherence, portion control and cooking skills.
- Assists individuals with medication administration according to the AMAP policy and procedures.
- Implements and documents all treatment plans and other agency related materials (i.e., residential habilitation goals, medical case notes, communication logs, etc.) to assist individuals in achieving independence in their selected valued outcomes and to ensure their health, safety and well-being.
- Adheres to overtime, scheduling, and minimum staffing policy and procedures to ensure that quality support is provided to individuals each day.
- Serves as member of the inter-disciplinary team by attending and participating in all meetings to discuss individuals’ progress and goal achievements and to offer and gather information and ideas.
- Provides transportation to individuals for medical appointments, shopping, recreational outings and any other transportation needs.
- Mentors new Direct Support Staff by demonstrating supportive routines and by reviewing training manuals to ensure new employees are sufficiently groomed to complete responsibilities.
- Participates in House Meetings and maintains all certification and training expectations.
- Performs all other duties as requested by supervisor.
Requirements/Qualifications:
- This position requires regular and substantial unsupervised or unrestricted physical contact with people receiving services and, therefore, is subject to successful completion of fingerprint/criminal background check.
- Training on Personal Outcome Measures (POM) is required prior to completion of evaluations and assessments.
- High School Diploma or equivalent preferred.
- Must submit a valid NYS drivers' license, and maintain a qualified driver status throughout employment.
- Must have the ability to communicate and understand written and oral directives/information.
- Physical Aspects may include but are not limited to lifting and transferring of individuals (children and/or adults). Inability to meet the physical demands of the position may impact employment.
We could have sections: About the role (mission statement and purpose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Qualifications/Skills (maybe combine). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements & Qualifications.
But the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can choose which headings to include based on content.
We have content for About the role (mission statement, purpose). Responsibilities (lots). Requirements (background check, training, diploma, driver's license, communication ability). Qualifications/Skills (physical ability, lifting, etc.) Could be separate.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So we will only include sections we have.
Let's craft:
About the role
Practice and promote the agency’s mission statement and guiding principles in every interaction. Provide ongoing support to the people that live in the Community Living Services program to ensure that a high quality of life is maintained.
But we could also include the mission statement part only. However we have more about purpose: "Provide ongoing support..." That's also a responsibility. Might be better to put that in Responsibilities.
Thus About the role could be just mission statement: "Practice and promote the agency’s mission statement and guiding principles in every interaction."
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can't omit the rest. So we need to place the rest somewhere else.
Let's decide:
About the role: brief description of role purpose: maybe "Provide ongoing support to individuals in the Community Living Services program to ensure a high quality of life, promote independence, and facilitate community integration." But that's summarizing; we must not summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can't create new summary that omits details. However we can keep the original sentences as prose. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep the exact sentences, not rephrase. But we can group them into paragraphs; we can keep them as is.
Thus we could have a
containing multiple sentences about the role. That's okay.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties.
Then Requirements: list of requirements (background check, POM training, HS diploma, driver's license, communication ability).
Then Qualifications/Skills: physical aspects (lifting, transferring) and maybe ability to meet physical demands.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section "Requirements and Qualifications". But the instruction gave examples of headings; we can use "Requirements" and "Qualifications" separate if we have content.
We have content for both.
Let's list requirements:
- Successful completion of fingerprint/criminal background check (due to regular and substantial unsupervised or unrestricted physical contact).
- Training on Personal Outcome Measures (POM) required prior to completion of evaluations and assessments.
- High School Diploma or equivalent preferred.
- Must submit a valid NYS driver's license and maintain a qualified driver status throughout employment.
- Must have the ability to communicate and understand written and oral directives/information.
Qualifications/Skills:
- Physical ability to lift and transfer individuals (children and/or adults).
- Ability to meet physical demands of the position (otherwise may impact employment).
We could also include "Ability to follow treatment plans, use adaptive equipment, etc." but those are responsibilities.
Thus we have two sections.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
Let's craft:
About the role
Practice and promote the agency’s mission statement and guiding principles in every interaction. Provide ongoing support to the people that live in the Community Living Services program to ensure that a high quality of life is maintained.
But we missed many other purpose sentences like "Provide only the level of support necessary..." etc. Those are responsibilities.
Thus About the role only includes first two sentences? Actually the first sentence is about mission statement. The second sentence is about providing ongoing support to ensure high quality of life. That could be considered part of role purpose. We'll keep them.
Now Responsibilities: we need to list all duty sentences as - . Let's extract each distinct duty sentence from the posting after the first two sentences.
List:
- Provide support in the areas of, for example, self-care routines, health, safety, household chores, socialization, and overall wellbeing.
