OTHR$55k–$70k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About Westminster Presbyterian Church (maybe "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have job description includes: About Westminster Presbyterian Church (description of church). Position Summary. Supervision & Collaboration. Key Responsibilities (with subheadings: Primary Priorities, Ministry Leadership, Volunteer Coordination, Family Engagement, Administration). Qualifications. Also Salary Range $55k-$70k. Also General Information: Church/Organization Name, Contact Name & Contact Info, Industry, Denomination, City, State, Description of Organization (duplicate). Also Application instructions (to be removed). Also Job Type Full Time. Also Application Deadline (not given). Also Salary Range. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Remove application instructions (How To Apply). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include sections: About the role? Could be "About the role" containing Position Summary and maybe Supervision & Collaboration? Or we could have separate sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (key responsibilities), Qualifications (position qualifications), Benefits? Not given. Pay: we have salary range, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: we have Job Type Full Time, maybe schedule? Could include Schedule section with Full Time. Benefits: not given, so omit. We need to decide headings: Use

for each section. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So only include sections with real content. Thus sections: - About the role (Position Summary + Supervision & Collaboration maybe) - Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities with subpoints) - Qualifications (Position Qualifications) - Pay (Salary Range) - Schedule (Job Type Full Time) Also maybe About the organization? Could be included under About the role? But we have description of church. Could be a separate section "About the organization" but not in list of allowed 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 suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. The church description could go under About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role (the role's context). Or we could create a section "About the organization" but not listed; risk. Better to incorporate into About the role. Thus:

    About the role

Partners closely with: pastoral staff and key ministry leaders (including youth leadership) to support smooth transitions and aligned discipleship for children and families.

    Then Responsibilities: we have subheadings but we can flatten into a list. We need to preserve all substantive information: list each responsibility bullet. We can create
    • for each bullet. Responsibilities content: Primary Priorities (First 6–12 Months): - Deliver consistent, safe, joyful Sunday programming for children (birth–5th) - Recruit, train, and care for volunteers so teams are supported and sustainable - Strengthen parent partnership and clear, timely communication with families - Improve coordination and transitions between children’s ministry and youth ministry Ministry Leadership: - Plan, implement, and evaluate children’s ministry programming (Sunday School, Children’s Worship, Vacation Bible School, seasonal events, etc.) - Select and adapt age-appropriate curriculum that is biblically based, theologically sound, and engaging for children - Cultivate a welcoming environment that is joyful and grounded in Christ’s love - Support children with diverse learning and behavioral needs by helping volunteers use wise, calm, and appropriate adaptations Volunteer Coordination: - Recruit, train, and support adult volunteers for children’s ministry - Provide spiritual encouragement and practical resources for those serving in the ministry - Set volunteers up to succeed and build healthy connections with children Family Engagement: - Partner with parents as the primary spiritual nurturers of their children - Offer resources, events, and opportunities for families to grow together in faith Administration: - Steward children’s ministry spaces, budget, and resources to cultivate a joyful, engaging, vibrant environment - Ensure all children’s ministry programs comply with church safety and child protection policies We need to ensure we don't lose any nuance.

      We should ensure no extra whitespace issues. Output only HTML fragment. Check for any boilerplate removed: we removed How To Apply, Application Deadline (not present), General Information duplicated, Contact info, etc. We kept location? Not needed. We kept description of church? Not explicitly; we included in About the role? We included Position Summary and Supervision & Collaboration but not the church description. The church description is substantive: "Westminster Presbyterian Church is a growing, Christ-centered church family just minutes from uptown Charlotte, NC. Our vision is to be a church who invites people to life in Christ…lived together… for the sake of others. We are committed to making disciples of all generations and cultivating relationships across generational lines within our own church family. We are a church family who values the covenant promises of baptism such that Children and Family Ministry is at the heart of who we are together. Westminster is a member congregation of the ECO denomination- a Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians." This is important context. Should we include it? It's about the organization, not the role. Could be placed under About the role as context. The instruction says we can use About the role heading for section headings; we could include church description there. So we should add a paragraph about the church. Thus About the role section could have two paragraphs: one about the church, one about position summary and supervision. Let's adjust. About the role:

      Westminster Presbyterian Church is a growing, Christ-centered church family just minutes from uptown Charlotte, NC.
