We need to produce HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading only if there is real content. We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, etc. The job description includes many details: job summary, responsibilities list (bulleted with Ø), supervision, fiscal, facility, interdivisional, YMCA leadership competencies, education/experience/physical requirements, closing statement (duplicate). Also classification, reports to, etc. We need to decide which sections to include. We have content for: - About the role: could be job summary and classification, reports to. - Responsibilities: list of duties (program/department responsibility, supervision, fiscal, facility, interdivisional/community/volunteer responsibilities). Also maybe "Other duties as assigned". - Requirements: education/experience/physical requirements (Master's preferred, etc). Also maybe "Must submit and pass drug testing", "Valid Massachusetts Driver's License", "Minimum one evening shift per week", "Some traveling required", "Must be able to walk, sit, stand". - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we could treat "Education/Experience/Physical Requirements" as Qualifications. The instruction says use headings for Qualifications if there is real content. We have that. - Skills: could include computer skills, communication skills, etc. - Benefits: not mentioned; no benefits info. So we should NOT include Benefits heading. - Pay: not mentioned; do NOT include. - Schedule: mention "A minimum of one evening shift per week is required." That's schedule info. Also maybe "Some traveling required". So we can include Schedule section with that detail. We must not repeat job title as heading. Also not include Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove duplicated lines: The closing statement appears twice (once in Job Summary area and again under Requirements CLOSING STATEMENT). We should include it only once. Also remove boilerplate like "Job Description OLD COLONY Y JOB DESCRIPTION TITLE:" etc. Also remove classification line? Might be considered metadata; but we could include classification and reports to under About the role as a short paragraph. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

About the role

The Instructor is responsible for planning and implementing ASE curriculum, schedules and has oversight for HiSet testing, maintains accurate educational records for each participant and provides quality educational services at the Center. S/he will display and encourage the character traits of honesty, respect, caring and responsibility in the fulfillment of all job duties.

  • Complete an educational assessment on all new participants.

  • Other duties as assigned or directed by the supervisor(s).

Qualifications

Education/Experience/Physical Requirements:

  • Master’s degree preferred or Bachelor’s degree and minimum 2 years of experience in a related field.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • Strong, enthusiastic commitment to helping participants develop the skills needed to successfully complete the HiSet.
  • A proven ability to work well in a multi-racial/cultural setting with high risk population.

  • Must submit and pass drug testing upon hire.
  • A minimum of one evening shift per week is required.
  • Some traveling required for meetings and trainings.
  • Must be able to walk, sit, stand during the work day.
But we also have Skills section maybe separate: communication skills, computer skills, etc. However we already included those in Qualifications. Could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities. But we have limited distinct content. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine education/experience and skills into Qualifications. But we already have Qualifications with education/experience/physical requirements. Could also add Skills heading for communication, computer skills etc. But that would be thin. Better to keep Qualifications as above and maybe not have separate Skills. Schedule: we have "A minimum of one evening shift per week is required." and "Some traveling required for meetings and trainings." That's schedule-ish. Could put under Schedule. But we already included evening shift and traveling in Qualifications list. Might be better to move those to Schedule section to avoid duplication. However we must preserve all info; we can keep them in either place but not duplicate. Let's decide: Keep schedule-specific items in Schedule section, and keep other qualifications in Qualifications. Thus: Qualifications: Master’s degree preferred or Bachelor’s degree + 2 years experience; excellent oral/written communication; strong commitment; ability to work in multi-racial/cultural setting; computer skills MS Office; valid MA driver's license; must submit/pass drug testing; must be able to walk, sit, stand. Schedule: Minimum one evening shift per week required; some traveling required for meetings and trainings. Benefits: none -> omit. Pay: none -> omit. Now we need to ensure we didn't lose any substantive info: Let's list all original bullet points and ensure covered. Original responsibilities list (program/department responsibility): - Develop and implement ASE classes and individual goals. (covered) - Provide individual and classroom instruction as needed. (covered) - Administer TABE tests; score tests and ensure records are maintained. (covered) - Responsible for completing an educational assessment on all new participants. (covered) - Assess the educational abilities of participants and assist in appropriate placement. (covered) - Provide a safe learning environment utilizing motivational interviewing strategies. (covered) - Work closely with colleges/universities that administer HiSet exams. (covered) - Ensure the timely registration of Center participants who are eligible to take the HiSet exam. (covered) - Provide academic support and tutoring. (covered) - Assist participants with College Admissions FAFSA applications as needed. (covered) - Responsible for verification of participant’s high school diploma, GED or HiSet. (covered) - Facilitate computer skills/keyboarding classes. (covered) - Facilitate financial and life skills groups as needed. (covered) - Collection and documentation of urine screens as needed. (covered) - Other duties as assigned or directed by the supervisor(s). (covered) Supervision of Personnel: None (we could note but not needed; it's not substantive? It's a statement that there is none. Could be included but it's minor. Might be omitted as it's not a duty. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; "None" is substantive? It's a statement that there is no supervision. Could be included but it's not a duty. Might be okay to omit as it's not a responsibility. But we could include a line under Responsibilities: "No direct supervision of personnel." However it's not a duty; it's a statement. I'd include maybe as a bullet: "No direct supervision of personnel." But it's not a responsibility; it's a clarification. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; I'd include it. Fiscal Responsibility: Adhere to all fiscal policies and procedures such as petty cash, purchase orders, vouchers and employee expenses as requested. (covered under Responsibilities as bullet) Facility/Housekeeping Responsibility: Ensure that the Instructor’s office and classrooms meet the highest standards of cleanliness and maintenance. (covered) Interdivisional/Community/Volunteer Responsibility: - Attend all assigned meetings. (covered) - Actively participate in the Y’s Annual Campaign. (covered) YMCA LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES - LEADER: This is a list of competencies; could be considered Skills or Qualities. We have not included them. They are substantive. We need to incorporate them somewhere, maybe under Skills or Qualifications. The list includes Mission Advancement, Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, Personal Growth with sub-bullets. We should preserve them. Thus we need to add a section for Skills (or Competencies). Let's create a Skills section with those competencies. Thus we will have:

Skills

  • Mission Advancement: Accepts and demonstrates the Y’s values; demonstrates a desire to serve others and fulfill community needs; recruits volunteers and builds effective, supportive working relationships with them; supports fundraising.
  • Collaboration: Works effectively with people of different backgrounds, abilities, opinions, and perceptions; builds rapport and relates well to others; seeks first to understand the other person’s point of view and remains calm in challenging situations; listens for understanding and meaning; speaks and writes effectively; takes initiative to assist in developing others.
  • Operational Effectiveness: Makes sound judgments, and transfers learning from one situation to another; embraces new approaches and discovers ideas to create a better member experience; establishes goals, clarifies tasks, plans work, and actively participates in meetings; follows budgeting policies and procedures, and reports all financial irregularities immediately; strives to meet or exceed goals and deliver a high-value experience for members.
  • Personal Growth: Pursues self-development that enhances job performance; demonstrates an openness to change, and seeks opportunities in the change process; accurately assesses personal feelings, strengths, and limitations and how they impact relationships; has the functional and technical knowledge and skills required to perform well; uses best practices and demonstrates up-to-date knowledge and skills in technology.
Now we need to ensure we didn't duplicate any content already covered. Some of these overlap with earlier qualifications (e.g., communication skills, computer skills). But it's okay to have both; but we should avoid duplication of exact same phrases. The earlier Qualifications included "Excellent oral and written communication skills." and "Computer skills including MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams)." Those are also covered in Skills (under Personal Growth maybe). To avoid duplication, we could remove those from Qualifications and keep them only in Skills. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep them in either place but not duplicate exactly. It's safer to keep them in Skills and not repeat in Qualifications. Let's adjust. Thus Qualifications will focus on education/experience/physical requirements: Master's preferred or Bachelor's + 2 years experience; strong commitment to HiSet; ability to work in multi-racial/cultural setting; valid MA driver's license;
