Direct Support Professional I (Homes)
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, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove AI use notice? That's likely boilerplate about AI use; it's not part of job description content? It's about hiring process; maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. AI use notice is not exactly those categories but could be considered legal/boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also remove "Please read the ENTIRE job posting before applying**" line (application instruction). Also remove "Job Type Full-time Description". Actually the first line: "Job Type Full-time Description Please read the ENTIRE job posting before applying**". We need to parse content.
We need to extract sections:
- About the role: The introductory paragraph describing role, HCBS setting, Direct Support Professionals, etc. Likely we can put under About the role.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What Winning Looks Like" and the enumerated responsibilities (Goal Input & Person-Centered Support, Behavioral & Rights-Based Support, Documentation & Compliance, Direct Care & Community Integration, Medication, Scheduling & Professional Responsibility). Those are responsibilities.
- Requirements: The section "Functional Experiences, Skills, & Requirements:" includes mission-oriented, attitude of learning, ability to communicate well, confidence, age requirement, driver's license, educational requirement, work authorization. Also physical demands list. Those are requirements/qualifications/skills. We need to separate into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. But we can combine if content fits. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications, skills, physical demands). Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections if present.
Benefits: The "Know We’re For You" section lists benefits: Competitive Wages ($17/hour), Scheduling (24/7 service provider, variety of shifts), Training (entry-level, comprehensive training), Generous Paid Time Off (PTO), 401k Retirement Plan, Comprehensive Insurance Plans (medical, dental, vision, life), Pre-Paid Legal Services, Discounted Costco or Sam’s Club Memberships, Advancement Opportunities (leadership development), Employee Assistance Program.
Pay: The base pay $17/hour is mentioned under Competitive Wages. Could be separate Pay section. But we could include pay under Benefits? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Pay is mentioned: "Competitive Wages: The base pay is $17/hour. With education and experience, you could start out making more than that." That's specific. So we should have a Pay section.
Schedule: The posting mentions "Scheduling: We’re a 24/7 service provider, offering a variety of shifts and scheduling options based on program needs." That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications/skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like age requirement specifics, physical demands list, etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, AI use notice, "Please note this job description is not designed to cover..." maybe that's legal boilerplate; should remove. Also "Imagine the Possibilities is an equal opportunity employer..." remove. Also "Further, this job description does not imply a contract..." remove. Also "Please note this job description is not designed..." remove. Also "Notice of AI Use in Job Application Review" remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: The phrase "Must remain awake during working hours." appears twice in physical demands; we should keep only one occurrence? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate.
Also "Must remain awake during working hours, if applicable." duplicate; keep one.

We'll start with
About the role
then with prose summarizing the role description but must preserve all substantive info; we cannot summarize away detail. However we can keep the prose as is but maybe we need to keep the exact sentences? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That means we cannot omit details, but we can rephrase? Safer to keep the original sentences but we can combine into paragraphs. However we must not lose any detail. Let's extract the About the role content:
From the posting: "This role operates in a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Setting, defined as “medical, social, and supportive services for Iowans with functional, cognitive, and other physical or mental health needs” (Iowa Health & Human Services). Rather than institutionalizing individuals who have these physical and mental health needs, HCBS settings provide these individuals with the opportunity to live and receive services in a way honoring to them and their abilities. Direct Support Professionals are the heartbeat of what we do at Imagine the Possibilities – empowering people to reach individual achievement across the spectrum of life. If you’re passionate about empowering people to reach their goals and help them strive for more, we want you to join our team. As an integral part of the overall care team, you will collaborate with other Direct Support Professionals, Programmers, Supervisors, individuals-served, and their families to ensure the best possible care for those you serve. You will fulfill an individual’s behavioral care plan by creatively strategizing the best way for each individual to reach and exceed their goals. Your innovative and impactful solutions and strategies will make the difference for those you serve."
We'll keep that as a
.
Now Responsibilities: The list under "What Winning Looks Like" includes bullet points:
- Goal Input & Person-Centered Support: Collaborate with the HCBS Supervisor and Programmer to develop individualized goals and provide direct support that focuses on teaching skills, promoting independence, and encouraging participation in recreational and community activities.
- Behavioral & Rights-Based Support: Use approved behavioral strategies to support individuals with challenging behaviors while respecting rights restrictions only as outlined by the interdisciplinary team and individual service plans.
- Documentation & Compliance: Complete accurate, timely, and Iowa Code–compliant documentation in Setworks, ensuring all required service details, interventions, and individual responses are properly recorded and submitted daily.
- Direct Care & Community Integration: Provide hands-on support in home and community settings, including daily living assistance, transportation, mobility support, safety monitoring, property respect, and active encouragement of choice and independence.
- Medication, Scheduling & Professional Responsibility: Administer and document medications per the six rights, follow all agency policies and procedures, maintain reliable attendance (including weekends/holidays), complete required training, and communicate concerns or updates through appropriate channels.
We'll put each as
- under
.
Now Requirements: We have several subparts: mission-oriented, attitude of learning, ability to communicate well, confidence, age requirement, driver's license, educational requirement, work authorization, physical demands.
We need to keep all details. We'll create a with each item as - . For age requirement: "Depending on the setting, we may have additional age requirements. For Supported Community Living settings (SCL), you must be at least 16 years of age. For Habilitation settings (HAB), you must be at least 18 years of age. If you’re not sure which category this job posting falls into, we encourage you to apply – we’ll work with you on what we have available!" Keep that.
Driver's license: "You’ll be responsible for transportation at times, so we need to trust your ability to be safe behind the wheel."
Educational requirement: "While no higher education is necessary, we do look for candidates who have obtained their diploma or the equivalent representing their high school education."
Work authorization: "Candidates must be able to work in the U.S. without sponsorship"
Physical demands list: many items. Need to deduplicate duplicate "Must remain awake during working hours." and "Must remain awake during working hours, if applicable." We'll keep one "Must remain awake during working hours."
List each physical demand as separate
- maybe.
We'll also include mission-oriented etc as
- .
Now Benefits: list from "Know We’re For You" section. We'll create
with each benefit as - . Need to keep details: Competitive Wages: base pay $17/hour, with education/experience could start more. Scheduling: 24/7 service provider, variety of shifts and scheduling options based on program needs. Training: entry-level position, comprehensive training. Generous Paid Time Off (PTO). 401k Retirement Plan. Comprehensive Insurance Plans: medical, dental, vision, life insurance. Pre-Paid Legal Services. Discounted Costco or Sam’s Club Memberships. Advancement Opportunities: leadership development opportunity. Employee Assistance Program.
We'll keep each as
- .
Pay: The base pay $17/hour is already in Benefits under Competitive Wages. But we might still create a Pay section with that detail. However to avoid duplication, we could omit Pay section and keep pay under Benefits. But instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Pay is mentioned; we could still have Pay section with that detail, but then we would duplicate info if also in Benefits. Better to not duplicate; we could incorporate pay details in Benefits and not have separate Pay section. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both Benefits and Pay may be thin. So we can omit Pay section and keep pay under Benefits. Similarly Schedule: we have scheduling info under Benefits as well; we could omit Schedule section and keep schedule under Benefits. But the instruction says include section only when posting has real, specific content for it. It does not forbid having that content also elsewhere; but we should avoid duplication. Since we already have scheduling and pay details under Benefits, we can omit separate Pay and Schedule sections to keep fewer sections.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits.
Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "What Winning Looks Like" heading is not a section heading we need to replicate; we just used Responsibilities.
Also there is a line: "As an employee, you’ll have access to a variety of benefits that are sure to sweeten the deal." That's part of Benefits intro.
Now we need to remove any remaining boilerplate: The EEO statement, AI notice, the note about job description not all-inclusive, contract disclaimer, etc.
