Director Foster Family Services Program
maybe under About the role heading? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should create headings for sections that have content. Likely we need About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe split into Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Required Qualifications?), Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. But we must not create thin sections. We can combine.
We have major responsibilities & duties list. That's Responsibilities.
We have Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA). That's Skills.
We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. That's Qualifications.
We have Benefits info.
We have Schedule info (on-call, flexible hours).
We might also have About the role summary.
We should not duplicate content. Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we should list each duty as
- . For Requirements maybe list required qualifications as
- . For Skills list each bullet as
- . For Benefits list each benefit as
- . For Schedule maybe list items.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Other Duties", "Physical Requirements, Equipment Usage, Work Environment" maybe we can keep? It's substantive but not a standard heading; we could incorporate into Responsibilities or a separate section like Working Conditions. But instruction only lists certain headings; we can add others if needed but better to stick to given headings. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we could put physical requirements etc under Responsibilities or a separate section like Working Conditions but not in list of headings. The instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "e.g." So we could add others if needed. But to be safe, we can incorporate physical requirements into Responsibilities or a separate section like Working Conditions but not required. Might be okay to add a section "Working Conditions". However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we can incorporate physical requirements into Responsibilities as a bullet.
Also "About Boys Town" description is boilerplate? It's about the organization, maybe we can keep as About the role? Actually About the role is about the job, not the company. The "About Boys Town" is company description; could be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about employer. Might keep as a brief paragraph under About the role? But the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Boys Town" is not those; it's okay to keep. Could be part of About the role or a separate section like "About the Organization". But not in list. I'd incorporate it into About the role paragraph.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.

About the role

(maybe shorten but preserve all substantive info; we need to preserve all substantive info, so we must include the whole Boys Town description? That is a lot. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the Boys Town description verbatim? It's substantive about the organization. We'll include it.
But that may be lengthy; still okay.
Then Responsibilities: list each duty from MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES.
We need to parse the responsibilities block.
Let's extract bullet points:

- On-call and continuously available to provide support and consultation and flexible hours including evenings and weekends required.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working with children and families in community-based programs or Boys Town Programs preferred.
Other Duties: we can ignore as boilerplate? It's not boilerplate but it's generic; we could include but it's not specific. Might drop.
Physical Requirements etc: we could incorporate into Responsibilities or a separate section but maybe we can add a section "Working Conditions". However to keep few sections, we could add a bullet under Responsibilities about physical requirements. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we add a section "Working Conditions" with those details.
But we already have many sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required and Preferred Qualifications into Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Schedule. That's 6 sections. Adding Working Conditions would be 7. Might be okay.
But we also have Benefits and Schedule info.
Benefits paragraph:
"A unique feature for employees and their dependents enrolled in medical benefits are reduced to no cost visits for services performed by a Boys Town provider at a Boys Town location. Additional costs savings for the employee and their dependents are found in our pharmacy benefits with low to zero-dollar co-pays on certain maintenance drugs. Boys Town takes your mental health seriously with no cost mental health visits to an in-network provider. We help our employees prepare for retirement with a generous match on their 401K or 401K Roth account. Additional benefits include tuition reimbursement, parenting resources from our experts and professional development opportunities within the organization, just to name a few."
Schedule info: "On-call and continuously available to provide support and consultation and flexible hours including evenings and weekends required." Already in Required Qualifications; we could move to Schedule section.
We should not duplicate. So we can put On-call/flexible hours in Schedule section, and remove from Qualifications.
Thus Required Qualifications list will exclude that line.
Now Benefits section: list each benefit as - .
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Working at Boys Town is more than just a job, it is a way of life." That's maybe okay but could be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. Might keep but it's fluff. Might be okay to keep in About the role.
Now "This advertisement describes the general nature of work to be performed and does not include an exhaustive list of all duties, skills, or abilities required." That's boilerplate; remove.
"Boys Town is an equal employment opportunity employer..." remove.
"To request a disability-related accommodation..." remove.
