About the role
withcontaining that paragraph. Responsibilities: we have Core Responsibilities (Applicable To All DSP Roles) list, plus Role-Specific Responsibilities (Day Program DSP, Residential DSP, Floater DSP). We need to combine into a list? The rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
- with items for each bullet. Should we separate core vs role-specific? Could just list all responsibilities as items. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
Requirements: includes Education, Certifications, Experience, Skills, Physical Requirements, Other (driver's license). Also Additional Information about training etc. We'll treat Requirements section maybe includes Education, Certifications, Experience, Physical Requirements, Other. Skills separate? The instruction says we can have Skills section separate. So we can put Skills in its own
- items for each.
We also need to remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract About the role paragraph: "Join Chimes – and go further to help others go far! Chimes is a not-for-profit organization that assists people with intellectual and behavioral challenges to achieve their fullest potential. Our vast array of services — educational, employment, vocational, residential, habilitative and behavioral health — are delivered through a network of national and international affiliates. This allows us to take a comprehensive, holistic approach to improving the lives of every person we serve — those who receive and those who reap the benefits of our innovative, responsive solutions."
We'll put that in
. Responsibilities: list items: Core Responsibilities (Applicable To All DSP Roles): - Provide direct support and supervision to individuals to ensure safety, engagement, and well-being. - Assist individuals with personal care tasks, including hygiene, dressing, mobility, and meal preparation. - Implement and follow individualized care plans, supporting each person’s goals and skill development. - Administer medications accurately and in compliance with agency policies and regulations. - Ensure a safe, clean, and organized environment, adhering to health and safety protocols. - Utilize approved behavior intervention techniques to assist individuals in emotional and behavioral regulation. - Maintain accurate documentation of daily activities, progress, incidents, and other required reports. - Foster community integration by facilitating participation in activities, events, and social interactions. - Maintain open communication with supervisors, team members, and external service providers. - Attend required training, staff meetings, and professional development sessions to stay informed and compliant with agency expectations. - Work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed. - Treat all individuals with dignity, respect, and kindness. Role-Specific Responsibilities: Day Program DSP: - Engage individuals in structured activities that promote learning, socialization, and skill development. - Monitor and support individuals throughout the day, ensuring active participation in program activities. - Transport individuals to and from program activities and community outings. - Collaborate with the day program team to enhance service delivery and improve outcomes. Residential DSP: - Support individuals in maintaining independent living skills, such as housekeeping, budgeting, and cooking. - Assist with grocery shopping, meal planning, and meal preparation based on dietary needs and preferences. - Monitor and report any health concerns, ensuring medical appointments are scheduled and attended. - Serve as a liaison between individuals, their families, and healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care. Floater DSP: - Adapt to different home and program environments, providing coverage as needed. - Be flexible and responsive to staffing needs, traveling between various locations as assigned. - Ensure consistency in care and documentation across different program sites. - Remain awake and alert during overnight shifts, conducting scheduled safety checks. We'll combine all into a single
- maybe with subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings inside
- . Could we add
- with bold text? Not required. We'll just list all items.
Requirements: list items:
- Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; additional coursework or certifications in human services preferred.
- Certifications: Must obtain and maintain active certifications in: Certified Medication Technician (CMT), CPR/First Aid, Mandt (or other crisis intervention training)
- Experience: Prior experience working with individuals with disabilities is preferred but not required; a strong commitment to person-centered support is essential.
- Physical Requirements: Must be able to lift, push, or pull at least 50 pounds to assist individuals with mobility and daily tasks.
- Other: A valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record as determined by agency policies.
We could also include Additional Information about ongoing training etc. That could be part of Requirements or maybe separate? The posting says "Additional Information DSPs are required to participate in ongoing training, professional development, and staff meetings to enhance their skills and knowledge. This role requires patience, empathy, and the ability to support individuals with kindness, dignity, and respect. Work schedules may vary and can include evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet program needs." Some of that overlaps with responsibilities and schedule. We could incorporate into Responsibilities (attend required training etc already there) and Schedule. The patience empathy etc could be part of Skills? But we already have skills list. Could add to Skills: patience, empathy. But we already have skills: strong communication, problem-solving, interpersonal skills. We could add patience, empathy as separate items. However we must not invent; it's in Additional Information. So we should add to Skills: patience, empathy. Also ability to support individuals with kindness, dignity, and respect (maybe part of interpersonal). We'll add.
Thus Skills list:
- Strong communication
- Problem-solving
- Interpersonal skills
- Ability to follow detailed care plans
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
- Patience
- Empathy
- Ability to support individuals with kindness, dignity, and respect
But note "Ability to support individuals with kindness, dignity, and respect" is similar to treat all individuals with dignity, respect, and kindness from responsibilities. It's okay.
Now Benefits list: extract each benefit:
- Competitive Pay (though we already have Pay section; but we can still list as benefit? Might duplicate. The posting says "Total Rewards Competitive PayMedical, Dental, and Vision InsuranceTuition Reimbursement optionsFlexible Spending Accounts (Health, Dependent, and Transportation)Life InsuranceDisability InsurancePaid Time Off403(b) with EmployerMatchEmployee Recognition ProgramsEmployee Referral Bonus opportunitiesDiscounts through “Tickets at Work”Discounts on Verizon mobile serviceAnd More!"
We need to split correctly: "Competitive Pay" is a benefit but we already have Pay section with rate. Could still include as benefit but maybe redundant. However we should preserve all substantive info; we can include Competitive Pay in Benefits list as well, but it's okay. We'll list:
- Competitive Pay
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- Tuition Reimbursement options
- Flexible Spending Accounts (Health, Dependent, and Transportation)
- Life Insurance
- Disability Insurance
- Paid Time Off
- 403(b) with Employer Match
- Employee Recognition Programs
- Employee Referral Bonus opportunities
- Discounts through “Tickets at Work”
- Discounts on Verizon mobile service
- And More! (maybe we can keep as "And More!" but it's vague; maybe we omit as filler? It's not specific. The instruction: never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "And More!" but it's inside a list; it's not a heading. It's okay to keep as list item? It's vague but it's part of posting. I'd keep it as list item "And More!" maybe not needed. Could drop as it's not substantive. I'd omit to avoid filler.
Now Pay section: we have Set Pay Rate: $18.00 per hour. We'll output
$18.00 per hour
. Schedule section: we have flexible schedule info. We'll outputFlexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title heading. Not included. Now produce HTML fragment: start withAbout the role
...
then <
- besides
Skills
with list. Qualifications: maybe combine Education, Certifications, Experience? But we have Requirements and Qualifications separate headings allowed. We need to decide what goes where. The posting has "Requirements" heading with subheadings Education, Certifications, Experience, Skills, Physical Requirements, Other. Also "Additional Information" about training etc. Could treat "Requirements" as the main heading and include Education, Certifications, Experience, Physical Requirements, Other as list items. Skills separate. Qualifications maybe not needed if we already have Requirements. But we could put Qualifications as heading for Education, Certifications, Experience. However we must not create empty sections. Let's see: The posting includes "Requirements:" then bullet list: Education..., Certifications..., Experience..., Skills..., Physical Requirements..., Other... So we can map: -Requirements
with- containing items for Education, Certifications, Experience, Physical Requirements, Other.
-
Skills
with- containing communication, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, ability to follow detailed care plans, work independently and as part of a team.
-
Qualifications
maybe not needed because we already covered. But we could treat Qualifications as same as Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Qualifications if there is content. The posting does not have a separate "Qualifications" heading but we could infer that Education, Certifications, Experience are qualifications. However we already used Requirements for those. To avoid duplication, maybe we put Qualifications for Education, Certifications, Experience and Requirements for Physical Requirements, Other, Skills? But Skills separate. Let's think: The posting explicitly labels "Requirements:" then includes Education, Certifications, Experience, Skills, Physical Requirements, Other. So we could treat that whole block as Requirements. Then we could still have a Qualifications section but would be duplicate. Better to follow the posting: Use Requirements heading for that block. Skills separate. Qualifications maybe omitted if no distinct content. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we don't have distinct qualifications beyond what's in Requirements, we omit Qualifications. Pay: we have "Set Pay Rate: $18.00 per hour". So we includePay
with$18.00 per hour
. Schedule: we have "Work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as needed." Also later: "Work schedules may vary and can include evenings, weekends, and holidays to meet program needs." So we have schedule info. So includeSchedule
withFlexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
Benefits: we have "What’s in it for you? Total Rewards Competitive PayMedical, Dental, and Vision InsuranceTuition Reimbursement optionsFlexible Spending Accounts (Health, Dependent, and Transportation)Life InsuranceDisability InsurancePaid Time Off403(b) with Employer MatchEmployee Recognition ProgramsEmployee Referral Bonus opportunitiesDiscounts through “Tickets at Work”Discounts on Verizon mobile serviceAnd More!" So we need Benefits section with list of benefits. We'll create - items for each.
We also need to remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract About the role paragraph: "Join Chimes – and go further to help others go far!

We'll put that in
