We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where there is real specific content. Use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Opening paragraph: "Grow your teaching career with Bright Horizons as a Seasonal Substitute Teacher, where you’ll join an inspiring team dedicated to nurturing young learners. Make a meaningful impact on children’s lives every day in our vibrant classrooms. As an on-call Substitute, you’ll enjoy flexibility and may have the opportunity to work in different centers and with various age groups."
That's prose about the role. Could be "About the role" section.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points:
"Assist with hands-on activities to meet the needs and interests of the children"
"Maintain open communication with parents, sharing their child's daily milestones"
"Ensure a safe and clean classroom by following essential procedures and guidelines"
"Provide seasonal support in any classroom or age group where teaching coverage is needed across a center or in nearby locations"
- Qualifications: Actually they have "Qualifications:" heading then list:
"Candidates must pass required state and company background checks and meet state and company minimum education and experience requirements: 18 years of age with a high school diploma or GED is required"
"12 ECE units completed required: Child Development, Child Family Community and 2 curriculum courses. If applying for an Infant or Toddler position the Infant/Toddler class is required as one of the curriculum courses. *Transcripts will be required at time of hire.*"
"1 year of experience working in child care, daycare, or preschool settings is preferred"
"CDA, Associate, or bachelor’s degree in early education or related field is preferred"
We could treat these as Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have responsibilities list. We have qualifications/requirements list. We have benefits list: "Career development opportunities and free college degrees through our Horizons CDA & Degree Program Learn more at https://careers.brighthorizons.com/us/en/health-and-wellness". Also later they repeat "Compensation: $25.75 - $31.45". Also "Life at Bright Horizons:" paragraph about culture. Also "Physical Requirements:" section with details. Also "Compensation:" earlier with pay range. Also "Benefits:" section with bullet? Actually they list benefits as a sentence then a link. Also later they repeat "Compensation: $25.75 - $31.45". Also "Life at Bright Horizons:" is more about culture, maybe could be "About the role" or separate "Culture" but not in allowed headings. We could incorporate into About the role or maybe omit if not fitting headings. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can create sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (or Requirements), Benefits, Pay. Physical Requirements maybe could be under Requirements? But we have a specific heading "Physical Requirements" not in allowed list; we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications as a bullet list? The allowed headings are limited; we cannot create a heading not in list. So we need to map content to allowed headings.
Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements/Qualifications (education, experience, background checks, etc). Benefits (career dev, free college degrees). Pay (hourly rate $25.75 - $31.45). Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; maybe flexibility, on-call, but not specific schedule. Could we create Schedule section? The posting mentions "As an on-call Substitute, you’ll enjoy flexibility". That's somewhat schedule info but not specific. Might be considered schedule content. However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we put Schedule heading with just "Flexible on-call schedule" that's specific enough? Might be okay. But we need to see if there is any explicit schedule info: "As an on-call Substitute, you’ll enjoy flexibility and may have the opportunity to work in different centers and with various age groups." That's about flexibility. Could be schedule. We'll include Schedule section with that sentence.
Physical Requirements: This is substantive but not in allowed headings. Could we put under Requirements? Possibly as a sub-list? But we cannot create new headings. We could incorporate physical requirements into Requirements section as a bullet list. That seems acceptable: Requirements heading can contain both qualifications and physical requirements. However we also have Qualifications heading allowed. Might split: Requirements for mandatory items (background checks, age, education, experience) and Qualifications for preferred items (CDA, degree). But we have both. Let's decide.
We have:
- Mandatory: 18 years, HS diploma/GED, pass background checks, 12 ECE units (specific courses), transcripts required.
- Preferred: 1 year experience, CDA/Associate/Bachelor degree.
Physical requirements: lift children, range of motion, etc.
We could combine all under Requirements (or Qualifications). Since we have both headings allowed, we could use Requirements for mandatory + physical, and Qualifications for preferred. Or we could use Qualifications for all and leave Requirements empty? Better to use both.
Let's outline:
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.

We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We removed those. Check for any repeated content: We have compensation mentioned twice; we used only once. We included link for benefits; that's okay. We must not include any markdown fences. Output only HTML fragment. Check that we didn't invent or summarize away detail. We preserved all substantive info: intro, responsibilities, requirements (age, HS, background, ECE units, transcripts, physical), qualifications (experience, degree), benefits (career dev, free college), pay range, schedule flexibility. We omitted "Life at Bright Horizons:" paragraph about culture; that's not covered by allowed headings; we could incorporate into About the role maybe but it's more about culture. Could add to About the role as extra sentence? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that info somewhere. Where can we put it? About the role section could include that paragraph. It's substantive. Let's add it to About the role after the intro. Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first about growth, second about Life at Bright Horizons. Let's incorporate: "Life at Bright Horizons: At Bright Horizons, you’re more than your job title — you’re the difference. Whether you’re nurturing a child’s first steps or supporting the systems behind the scenes, your work creates real impact. We’re a community that celebrates individuality, invests in your growth, and supports your whole self. Because when you thrive, so do the children, families, and clients we serve. Join us and help build a brighter future — for yourself and for others." We'll add as second paragraph. Now check if any other substantive info: "Bright Horizons provides equal opportunity..." that's EEO boilerplate, remove. "Bright Horizons complies with the laws..." remove. "If you require assistance..." remove. "Determinations on requests..." remove. Also "Physical Requirements: This position requires the employee to comply with all applicable federal, state, local, Bright Horizons’, and client site requirements concerning immunizations, employment physical/screening, and health and safety training. If hired, you will work in person in an early education/preschool child care center to provide supervision, care, curriculum delivery and services per Bright Horizons’ policies, procedures and guidance, in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, and in a manner that will ensure the safety of children in Bright Horizons care and the employee." That's also substantive but we already captured physical requirements; we could add a sentence about immunizations etc. But we already have physical requirements bullet; we could add a note about immunizations etc. However we might be missing some details: "comply with all applicable federal, state, local, Bright Horizons’, and client site requirements concerning immunizations, employment physical/screening, and health and safety training." That's a requirement. Could add to Requirements bullet: "Must comply with applicable immunizations, employment physical/screening, and health and safety training requirements." Also "If hired, you will work in person in an early education/preschool child care center to provide supervision, care, curriculum delivery and services per Bright Horizons’ policies, procedures and guidance, in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, and in a manner that will ensure the safety of children in Bright Horizons care and the employee." That's basically describing the job; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. But we already have responsibilities list; we could add a bullet about providing supervision, care, curriculum delivery per policies. However the responsibilities list already includes assisting with hands-on activities, communication, safe classroom, seasonal support. The description about supervision etc is more general. Might be considered part of responsibilities. To preserve all substantive info, we should include it. Let's add a bullet under Responsibilities: "Provide supervision, care, and curriculum delivery in accordance with Bright Horizons’ policies and applicable laws to ensure child safety." But we must not invent; we are restating. Now also "
