Direct Support Professional I - Paraeducator

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Pay, Schedule, About the role (maybe "About the role" heading), Responsibilities (maybe "What You'll Do" content), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (Core Skills), Benefits (Benefits for Full-time Employees and Part-time Employees). Also maybe "About Crotched Mountain School" as a section? Could be "About the organization" but not required. The instructions: 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. 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. Thus we need sections: Pay, Schedule, About the role (maybe "About the role" heading), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Skills (Core Skills), Benefits (Benefits For Full-time Employees and Part-time Employees). Possibly also "About Crotched Mountain School" could be under "About the role" or separate "About the organization". But the instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. The "About Crotched Mountain School" is descriptive about the organization; could be placed under "About the role" or maybe a separate "About the organization" but not in list. Safer to include it under "About the role" as prose. We need to preserve all substantive information.

  We used

  for subheadings; but instruction only mentions

  for section headings. It didn't forbid other headings, but we could keep Benefits as

  and then use

  or

  with subheadings as maybe. However using

  is okay but might be considered extra heading. Safer to avoid extra heading levels; we can embed subheadings as inside

  or as

  with bold text.
