Educational Assistant (EA IV) - Significant Support Needs (SSN) Program
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Job Title: Educational Assistant (EA IV) - Significant Support Needs (SSN) Program (but we must not repeat as heading)
- Job Description: description paragraph.
- Essential Physical Requirements: list.
- Essential Environmental Demands: description.

- Skills: list of abilities.
- Position Type: Regular
- Primary Location: Mountain Peak Elementary
- One Year Only: No
- Scheduled Hours Per Week: 37.5
- FTE: 0.94
- Approx Scheduled Days Per Year: 180 Work Days (explanation)
- Minimum Hire Rate $19.84 USD Hourly
- Maximum Hire Rate $25.20 USD Hourly
- Full Salary Range $19.84 USD - $30.55 USD Hourly
- Benefits: list.
- Time Off Plans: eligible for paid sick and personal time.
- Application deadline: will be open until filled, but will not be open past: December 25, 2026.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Position Specific Information (if Applicable):" maybe keep as part of responsibilities.
We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
- About the role: could be the Job Description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the bullet list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe physical requirements? Or certifications? The posting has "Essential Physical Requirements", "Essential Environmental Demands", "Certifications Education: High School or Equivalent (Required)". Could be considered Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe "Experience working with children or young adults with significant cognitive or physical disabilities, or complex medical needs is preferred." Also maybe "Ability to follow written and verbal instructions..." etc. But those are under Skills. Actually there is a "Skills" section later.
- Skills: list of abilities.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary rates.
- Schedule: hours per week, FTE, days per year, maybe schedule details.
We must not create sections with placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". We have actual data.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
About the role
Under the direction and guidance of a licensed special education teacher and staff, provides specialized, intensive, and individualized support to students with Significant Support Needs (SSN), including those with moderate to severe cognitive disabilities and possible physical, health, or medical impairments. As a critical member of the special education team, supports functional, academic, and life skills instruction, assists with personal care and medical needs, and promotes student safety, engagement, and independence within a structured and supportive learning environment. Develops and promotes good community relations among various community members and school clientele.
Responsibilities
- Support the implementation of Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals in collaboration with the Special Education Teacher, including academics, functional skills, communication, social skills, and vocational training.
- Provide support to students with Significant Support Needs (SSN) across settings, including general education environments, by ensuring access to accommodations, reinforcing academic instruction, and implementing behavior management strategies.
- Support students with daily living and functional skills, including but not limited to, dressing, feeding (including G-tube feeding as trained and delegated), toileting/diapering, and personal hygiene.
- Aid students in using various communication methods, including sign language, picture exchange systems (PECS), and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices.
- Assist with student positioning, transferring (e.g., from wheelchair to stander, floor to chair), and mobility using specialized equipment (e.g., wheelchairs, walkers, lifts, standers).
- Monitor and provide delegated health care procedures, which may include seizure monitoring, administration of emergency medication (e.g., Diastat, Epipen), or basic first aid, following all required training and protocols.
- Maintain a safe and clean learning environment, including cleaning/sanitizing equipment and materials used for personal care and instruction.
- Closely supervise students during transitions, outdoor activities, and during mealtimes to ensure safety and prevent injury.
- Perform other related duties as assigned or requested.
Requirements
- High school diploma or equivalent (required).
- Experience working with children or young adults with significant cognitive or physical disabilities, or complex medical needs is preferred.
- Ability to follow written and verbal instructions for implementing IEPs, health plans, and behavior protocols with high fidelity.
- Strong commitment to student dignity, safety, and promoting the maximum level of independence for all students.
- Willingness and ability to assist students with personal care, toileting, and mobility, including lifting and transferring (with appropriate training and assistance).
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could also add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. However we have physical requirements and environmental demands; they could be placed under Requirements as list items.
We could incorporate them into Requirements list.
Let's add:
- Occasional lifting of forty (40) to seventy (70) pounds
- Frequent bending, standing, sitting, and walking
- Occasional reaching, kneeling, bending, squatting, and standing
- Ability to run short distances
- Typical classroom noise; mostly clean and comfortable environment.
We'll add as list items.
Now Skills section: The posting has a "Skills" heading with bullet points: Ability to follow written and verbal instructions..., Strong commitment..., Willingness and ability... Actually those are similar to requirements. But we already used them. However we could still have a Skills section with those items. But we must not duplicate content. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If we put them under Requirements, we still preserve them. It's okay to not have a separate Skills section if we already covered them. But we need to decide if we should have a Skills section with the specific skills listed under "Skills Ability to follow written and verbal instructions..." etc. The posting actually has a "Skills" heading with those bullet points. So we should include a Skills section with those items.
Thus we need to separate: Requirements maybe includes education, experience, physical/environmental. Skills includes the ability to follow instructions, commitment, willingness.
Let's parse:
Under "Skills Ability to follow written and verbal instructions for implementing IEPs, health plans, and behavior protocols with high fidelity, Strong commitment to student dignity, safety, and promoting the maximum level of independence for all students, Willingness and ability to assist students with personal care, toileting, and mobility, including lifting and transferring (with appropriate training and assistance)". That's a comma-separated list.
Thus Skills section: list those three items.
Requirements: Education (High School or Equivalent), Experience preferred, Physical Requirements, Environmental Demands.
Qualifications: maybe not needed; we could omit if no specific qualifications beyond education/experience. The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. If we don't have distinct qualifications beyond what's in requirements/skills, we could omit Qualifications.
Benefits: list.
Pay: salary rates.
Schedule: hours per week, FTE, days per year.
Also note: Position Type Regular, Primary Location Mountain Peak Elementary, One Year Only No, etc. Could be included under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Position Details". But not in the prescribed headings. Could we add a heading like "Position Details"? 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 "Use for section headings (e.g ...)". It seems they expect those headings. Safer to stick to those and embed other info within those sections.
We can put location, position type, etc. in About the role or maybe in a paragraph after About the role.
But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include location, position type, one year only, scheduled hours, FTE, days per year, etc. Where to put? Could be under About the role as additional sentences. Or under Schedule we already have hours/FTE/days. Position type and location could be in About the role.
Let's craft About the role paragraph to include: position type regular, primary location Mountain Peak Elementary, one-year only? Actually One Year Only: No (meaning not limited to one year). So we can mention it's a regular position, not limited to one year, located at Mountain Peak Elementary.
We'll include that.
Now schedule: hours per week 37.5, FTE 0.94, approx scheduled days per year 180 work days.
Pay: Minimum Hire Rate $19.84, Maximum Hire Rate $25.20, Full Salary Range $19.84 - $30.55 hourly. Note: The full salary range goes up to $30.55, which is above max hire rate. We'll include all.
Benefits: list as given.
Time Off Plans: eligible for paid sick and personal time. Also mention open until filled but not past Dec 25, 2026. Could be under Benefits or maybe a separate section like "Additional Information". But we can include under Benefits or maybe under About the role? Better to add a short paragraph under Benefits or maybe a separate heading like "Additional Information". But not in list. Could add under Benefits as extra item.
But we must not create sections with filler. We have real content for Time Off Plans. Could we add a heading "Time Off Plans"? Not in the list but it's a specific heading used in posting. 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 "Use for section headings (e.g ...)". It seems they expect those headings but not strictly limited. However to be safe, we could incorporate Time Off Plans into Benefits section as a bullet.
Similarly, the application deadline could be included in Benefits or maybe a note.
We'll add a bullet under Benefits: "Eligible for paid sick and personal time." and maybe another bullet: "Position open until filled, but not past December 25, 2026."
Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content.
Let's draft HTML.
We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed.
We'll output:
