We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The job summary is provided. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have job summary and responsibilities (the first paragraph). We have required job requirements (list). We have preferred qualifications (list). We have Where You'll Work (description). We have Pay Range. No schedule or benefits mentioned. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (the duties), Requirements (required job requirements), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe communication etc), Pay (pay range). We must not repeat job title as heading. Also we must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Use

We must not repeat job title as heading. Also we must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes where.
Job Summary And Responsibilities: The first paragraph is summary: "As our Doula, you will provide comprehensive emotional, physical, and informational support..." That's about role. Then responsibilities list: many bullet-like sentences. We can put those under Responsibilities as
- .
Required Job Requirements: list items: Basic Life Support - CPR (BLS-CPR) — required within 90 days; Excellent communication, active listening, and interpersonal skills; Strong empathy, compassion, and a respectful, non-judgmental attitude; Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative birth team; Reliability, punctuality, and a strong sense of responsibility; Ability to respond flexibly to client needs. Those are requirements.
Preferred: list items: Minimum of less than one (1) year demonstrated experience providing doula support (minimum 3 births); Fluency in both relevant non-English languages (Mixtec & Spanish); Spanish language proficiency certification for ambulatory and hospital work; Experience working with diverse populations and family structures; Knowledge of local community resources in California; Specialized training in areas such as trauma-informed care, lactation support, and grief support.
Where You'll Work: description of Dignity Health’s Pacific Central Coast Health Centers (PHC). That's about workplace; could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Work Location". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put Where You'll Work under About the role (maybe as part of summary). Or we could create a section "About the role" that includes summary and workplace description. That seems okay.
Skills: we could list communication, empathy etc but those are already in requirements. Could create Skills section for communication, active listening, interpersonal skills, etc. But we must not duplicate content? We can keep them in Requirements; Skills could be optional but we need to avoid filler. Since we have content for Skills (communication, active listening, interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, etc.) we could put them there. However they'd duplicate with Requirements. Better to keep Requirements as required qualifications, and Skills maybe for preferred? But we have Preferred qualifications separate. Could map Preferred to Qualifications section. And Skills to maybe communication etc. But we need to avoid duplication; we can split: Requirements = mandatory items (BLS-CPR, reliability, etc). Qualifications = preferred items (experience, language fluency, etc). Skills = communication, active listening, interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, ability to work independently, etc. However many of those overlap. But we can still include them; duplication might be okay but we should avoid repeating same sentence. Could restructure: Requirements: BLS-CPR, reliability, punctuality, responsibility, flexibility. Skills: communication, active listening, interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, ability to work independently and as part of team. Qualifications: preferred experience, language fluency, certification, diverse populations, community resources, specialized training.
That seems reasonable.
Now About the role: include job summary paragraph and Where You'll Work description.
Responsibilities: list of duties from the summary after first paragraph? Actually the first paragraph includes some responsibilities; but we can treat the whole block after "As our Doula, you will..." as responsibilities. We'll extract each sentence as a bullet.
Let's list responsibilities sentences:
- assist patients in communicating their preferences and concerns with the medical team
- encourage patients toward self-advocacy and informed decision-making
- offer compassionate, hands-on support throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey
- Provide doula prenatal and postpartum visits, offering evidence-based information on pregnancy, labor, birth options, pain management techniques, comfort measures, and newborn care.
- Assist clients in understanding the labor and birth process, helping them articulate preferences to the medical team and advocating for informed choices, while offering emotional support, active listening, and guidance on fears, anxieties, and cultural expectations.
- Be present in Labor and Delivery as scheduled, providing continuous emotional and physical support during active labor and postpartum in a culturally and linguistically sensitive manner, including comfort measures, position changes, and hydration/nourishment guidance.
- Facilitate communication between patients, partners/family, and medical staff to ensure patients' voices are heard, and help patients understand procedures and possible complications related to vaginal and cesarean births.
- Provide continuing assistance and support to new mothers and newborns during the postpartum period, including informational support on feeding and infant care, and encouraging bonding between baby and family members.
- Maintain strict client confidentiality, uphold ethical boundaries, and adhere to the doula scope of practice as defined by California guidelines, documenting care per Medi-Cal/insurer requirements and continuously updating knowledge and skills through continuing education.
We need to ensure we keep all substantive info.
Now Requirements (mandatory):
- Basic Life Support - CPR (BLS-CPR) — required within 90 days
- Excellent communication, active listening, and interpersonal skills
- Strong empathy, compassion, and a respectful, non-judgmental attitude
- Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative birth team
- Reliability, punctuality, and a strong sense of responsibility
- Ability to respond flexibly to client needs
But note that communication etc also appear in Skills; we might move them to Skills to avoid duplication. Let's decide: We'll put communication, active listening, interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, ability to work independently and as part of team under Skills. Then Requirements will be just BLS-CPR, reliability, punctuality, responsibility, flexibility. However reliability etc also could be considered skills but okay.
Let's define:
Skills:
- Excellent communication, active listening, and interpersonal skills
- Strong empathy, compassion, and a respectful, non-judgmental attitude
- Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative birth team
- Ability to respond flexibly to client needs
Requirements:
- Basic Life Support - CPR (BLS-CPR) — required within 90 days
- Reliability, punctuality, and a strong sense of responsibility
But reliability etc maybe also skill. However we need to keep all substantive info; we can keep them in Requirements as they are listed under Required Job Requirements. The list includes reliability etc. So we should keep them there. To avoid duplication, we could not duplicate them in Skills. So Skills will contain communication, active listening, interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, ability to work independently and as part of team, flexibility. Requirements will contain BLS-CPR and reliability, punctuality, responsibility. That seems okay.
Now Qualifications (Preferred):
- Minimum of less than one (1) year demonstrated experience providing doula support (minimum 3 births)
- Fluency in both relevant non-English languages (Mixtec & Spanish)
- Spanish language proficiency certification for ambulatory and hospital work
- Experience working with diverse populations and family structures
- Knowledge of local community resources in California
- Specialized training in areas such as trauma-informed care, lactation support, and grief support
Now Pay: $28.10 - $41.80 /hour
Now About the role: combine job summary paragraph and Where You'll Work description.
Job summary paragraph: "As our Doula, you will provide comprehensive emotional, physical, and informational support to pregnant and postpartum patients, empowering individuals and families to have a positive and informed pregnancy, birth, and early parenting experience. You will adhere to the highest standards of ethics, doula care, and scope of practice within California guidelines."
Where You'll Work description: "Dignity Health’s Pacific Central Coast Health Centers (PHC) is a non-profit Community clinic organization comprised of more than 40 health centers located primarily from Ventura to Templeton, spanning the coast. Our experienced physicians and advanced practice providers offer a wide range of primary and specialty care services. PHC is a part of Dignity Health Central Coast’s award-winning network of outstanding hospitals, imaging centers, laboratories, and post-acute services. One Community. One Mission. One California"
We'll put that as prose under About the role.
Now Responsibilities: list as above.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown.
We'll produce:
