Drug & Alcohol Counselor
Merakey · Philadelphia, PA · 4 wk ago
OTHR$24.66/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have content: "Merakey is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Counselor to join our Drug & Alcohol Program at the Wellness Village in Philadelphia, PA 19136. This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) working Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM." That's about role and schedule. Also "Learn More About The Riverview Wellness Village" maybe not needed. Then responsibilities list. Requirements list. Benefits list. Pay: "Earn $24.66 per hour." So we need Pay section. Schedule: we have schedule details: full-time 40 hours per week, Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: we have list. Requirements: we have bullet list? The text: "Requirements The ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, psychology, addictions studies, social work or related field with specialty or concentration in counselingAt least one year experience in a health or human service agency, preferably in a drug and alcohol setting. Actively working towards a credential through PCB (i.e., CAAC, CADC, CAADC, CCS), or be actively working toward licensure or certification. **Licensure or certification will need to be achieved within two to three (2 - 3) years of hire, depending on requirements." That's a run-on; we need to split into list items. Also there is a sentence "Help individuals build a foundation for lasting recovery while making a meaningful impact in your community." That seems like a tagline maybe part of About the role.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list). Benefits (list). Pay (maybe just a paragraph with hourly rate). Schedule (paragraph). Avoid headings with no content. Also we should not repeat job title as heading. Also we should not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
- About the role: "Merakey is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Counselor to join our Drug & Alcohol Program at the Wellness Village in Philadelphia, PA 19136. This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) working Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM." Also maybe "Help individuals build a foundation for lasting recovery while making a meaningful impact in your community." That's more about role purpose. Also "Learn More About The Riverview Wellness Village" maybe not needed. Also "This is an excellent opportunity for a clinically skilled professional who is passionate about delivering high-quality behavioral health services and empowering individuals to create lasting positive change in their lives." That's also about role.
We can combine into a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list items under "Responsibilities Include Clinical Services:" etc. The responsibilities are broken into categories with sub-bullets. We need to output a
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten into list items, preserving details. Could keep categories as part of li text. Let's extract each bullet: Clinical Services: - Facilitate individual and group therapy - assess treatment needs and recommend appropriate levels of care - engage and motivate individuals across varying stages of change - provide outreach and re-engagement support for individuals who are disengaged from treatment - maintain therapeutic rapport while upholding professional boundaries - utilize strong counseling, communication, and evidence-based clinical intervention skills Caseload Management & Documentation: - Manage an assigned caseload and monitor treatment progress, engagement, and recovery goals - maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation - ensure client records meet program, county, state, and federal requirements Case Management & Care Coordination: - Collaborate with case managers and multidisciplinary team members to connect individuals with community resources and support services - provide case management assistance as needed to promote recovery and treatment success Program Compliance & Quality Assurance: - Monitor client records, authorized service units, incident reporting, and non-billable activities - ensure compliance with Merakey, county, state, federal, licensing, and payer requirements - maintain client confidentiality and participate in quality improvement initiatives Communication & Professional Development: - Communicate effectively with supervisors, case managers, peer specialists, and other stakeholders regarding client needs and service coordination - participate in clinical supervision, required trainings, continuing education, and team meetings - maintain productivity standards and perform other duties as assigned We'll output each as

Also maybe "Learn more about our full benefits package - https://www.merakey.org/careers/benefits" but that's a link; we could include as a li? It's a reference; but it's not a benefit per se. Might include as li but it's more a link. Probably okay to include as li.
- Pay: "Earn $24.66 per hour." We'll put in
under Pay heading. - Schedule: "This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) working Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM." We'll put under Schedule heading. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

Check for any duplicated content: we included schedule also in About the role paragraph; that's okay but we might be duplicating. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplication is not prohibited but maybe better to avoid redundancy. However the schedule appears both in About the role paragraph and Schedule section. Could we remove schedule from About the role? The About the role paragraph originally included schedule; we could keep it there and not have separate Schedule section. But we need a Schedule section only if posting has real specific content for it; it does. We could keep schedule only in Schedule section and not repeat in About the role. Let's adjust About the role to not include schedule details, just role description. But we must preserve all substantive information; schedule is substantive, we will have it in Schedule section. So we can omit from About the role. Thus About the role paragraph: "Merakey is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Counselor to join our Drug & Alcohol Program at the Wellness Village in Philadelphia, PA 19136.
