Direct Support Professional / Youth Caregiver
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse content.
Content sections:
- Who we are: mission-driven team, description. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map.
- "Make a Difference Every Day! At Dungarvin, we do meaningful work that shapes futures. We’re looking for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to support children and teens (ages 12–21) with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our residential program. This role calls for patience, creativity, and dedication. It isn’t just a job - it’s a chance to guide, empower, and make a lasting difference in young lives. If you’re motivated by purpose and believe in helping kids reach their potential, we’d love to meet you!" This is about the role.
- "Company Perks/Benefits:" then list benefits. Also includes Wage: $20.80/hour, Schedule: Fri or Mon 2pm-10pm & Sat/Sun 8am-10pm. So we have Pay and Schedule sections.
- Benefits list: Medical, Vision and Dental Insurance for eligible employees, Supplemental Insurance, Flex Spending and HSA Accounts for eligible employees, Pet Insurance, Life Insurance for eligible employees, 401 K plan with up to 3% employer match for eligible employees, PAID TIME OFF (PTO) for eligible employees, Growth and Development Opportunities, Employee Referral Program, Employee Assistance Program, National Brand Discounts, Tapcheck- early pay access, PAID training and orientation.
- Job Description "What You’ll Do As a Youth DSP..." includes bullet-like sentences. We can treat as Responsibilities.
- Qualifications: list of requirements.
- Additional Information: supportive work environment, EEO statement (should be removed as boilerplate). Also "#EMWIJ 9/18" maybe metadata, drop.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we remove the EEO paragraph and the hashtag line.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. Preserve all substantive information.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe combine who we are and role description). Responsibilities (What You’ll Do). Requirements (maybe Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? But we can combine? The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they are distinct: Qualifications list includes age, education, experience, background check, driver's license, communication skills. Could be "Qualifications". Requirements maybe not needed. We'll include Qualifications section.
Skills: maybe communication skills mentioned; but we could include under Qualifications. Not separate.
Benefits: we have list.
Pay: we have wage.
Schedule: we have schedule.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not include empty sections.
Now format.
About the role: combine "Who we are:" paragraph and the motivational paragraph. Could be two
elements.
Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties from "What You’ll Do As a Youth DSP, you’ll be a mentor..." We'll convert each sentence into
- . The paragraph includes multiple sentences separated by periods. We'll split into list items.
Qualifications: list items from "Must be 21 years of age or older..." etc.
Benefits: list items from the benefits list.
Pay:
with wage info.
Schedule:
with schedule info.
We must preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any detail.
Let's extract exact text.
Who we are: "At Dungarvin, we are more than a provider of support services—we’re a mission-driven team rooted in respect, response and choice. Since 1976, we’ve been dedicated to meeting people where they are - providing person-centered supports that allow individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or complex medical needs to live as independently as possible.

If you’re motivated by purpose and believe in helping kids reach their potential, we’d love to meet you!"
We could split into two paragraphs: first paragraph up to "impact someone’s life!" then second paragraph starting "Make a Difference Every Day!" but it's okay.
Responsibilities: The text after "Job Description What You’ll Do As a Youth DSP, you’ll be a mentor, coach, and role model who leads person-centered activities that helps kids: Learn everyday life skillsBuild confidence and independenceParticipate in school, home, and community routinesDiscover their strengths and celebrate their progressIn addition you will: Teach and role-model life skills to promote independenceProvide supervision, coaching, and encouragementAssist with routines such as meal prep, personal care, and medication administrationPerform housekeeping and laundry dutiesCreate a safe, positive, and supportive environment"
We need to split into list items. The colon after "helps kids:" then list items separated by no punctuation? Actually it's "Learn everyday life skillsBuild confidence and independenceParticipate in school, home, and community routinesDiscover their strengths and celebrate their progress". There's no commas or separators; but we can treat each phrase as separate item. Might be better to keep as prose? But instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of duties. We'll split logically:
- Learn everyday life skills
- Build confidence and independence
- Participate in school, home, and community routines
- Discover their strengths and celebrate their progress
- Teach and role-model life skills to promote independence
- Provide supervision, coaching, and encouragement
- Assist with routines such as meal prep, personal care, and medication administration

That seems correct.
Qualifications: list:

- Must have at least 6 months of professional work experience supporting vulnerable populations required (ex. caregiver, nanny, paraeducator, direct support professional, etc.)
- Ability to pass DCYF background/fingerprint checks
- Must have valid WA drivers license
- Good communication is key in this role. You’ll rely on your reading, writing, and communication skills to document care, follow support plans, and collaborate with both internal and external team members.
We could split the last into two items? It's a sentence. Could keep as one

Benefits list: from "Company Perks/Benefits:" then list:

- Full Range Scale $20.80 (flat rate scale for this position. The rate of pay provided for this position is based on title and geographical location) (maybe part of Pay)
