Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe from job description), Responsibilities, Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications), Knowledge/Skills/Abilities (could be Skills and Abilities), Benefits, Pay (maybe from hiring rate), Schedule (maybe flexible schedules mentioned under What We Can Offer You). Also maybe "What We Can Offer You" could be Benefits section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay: Hiring Rate $24.862. So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: "Flexible Schedules" mentioned under What We Can Offer You. So we can include Schedule section with that. Benefits: list of benefits from What We Can Offer You plus the Benefits paragraph. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract substantive content: About the role: The DHHS Behavioral Health Division is looking for a compassionate and dedicated individual to join our team as an Emergency Systems Program Specialist in the behavioral health field. In this role, you'll serve as a vital resource and consultant, providing technical assistance and expert advice to agency staff, Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs), service providers, and tribal partners. The Behavioral Health Emergency Systems Program Specialist supports the Administrator in developing statewide community-based mental health and substance use emergency services. This role involves collaborating with professionals to implement and monitor programs, evaluate community needs, and improve accessibility to emergency systems. Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities include overseeing the utilization of services, supporting new initiatives like 988 and BH Crisis Response, coordinating transitions between care levels, and leading behavioral health disaster response while managing federal grants. We seek organized candidates with exceptional customer service skills, who are committed to enhancing the well-being of our fellow Nebraskans through effective behavioral health services" plus the later list of duties under "The Emergency Systems Program Specialist Will ..." which is essentially more responsibilities. We should combine them into a single Responsibilities section with bullet points. Let's extract bullet points from that later paragraph: - Conduct outreach and program support for statewide community-based mental health and substance use emergency system. - Create avenues for emergency access to services including crisis response services and help lines. - Evaluate and monitor emergency system response along a continuum of services. - Provide input on budgets. - Monitor consumer experiences and flow into and through the emergency system. - Monitor utilization and capacity of crisis and hospital-based services including emergency protective custody. - Direct behavioral health disaster response efforts including grant application and contracting. - Coordinate transitions between inpatient psychiatric care, including Regional Centers, and subsequent discharges to community providers. - Contract management of both state and federally funded emergency services to include billing and invoice processing. - Outreach and coordination with behavioral health service providers including emergency services and emergency system coordinators. - Excellent documentation and organizational skills are a must for this position. - Other duties as assigned. Also earlier responsibilities: overseeing the utilization of services, supporting new initiatives like 988 and BH Crisis Response, coordinating transitions between care levels, leading behavioral health disaster response while managing federal grants. Also seeking organized candidates with exceptional customer service skills, committed to enhancing well-being (that's more of a requirement). We'll keep responsibilities as the bullet list. Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree, OR equivalent coursework/training, in public administration, social/behavioral sciences, healthcare, human services or other program related field. Professional experience working in a human/social service or health care agency with responsibility for planning or evaluation services, programs or operational policies and practices may substitute in lieu of the educational requirement. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree with 3 to 5 years of demonstrated contract management experience will be considered in lieu of a Bachelor’s degree. One or more years of experience in Human Social Service, Behavioral Health Services, Public Health, Public Administration, Healthcare Administration, or similar, including budget and audit experience a plus. Knowledge of, or interest in, Nebraska's public behavioral health services network a plus. Knowledge of NAC 206, Regional Behavioral Health Authorities, and/or SAMHSA block grants a plus. Demonstrated Behavioral Health experience is preferred. We could combine into Requirements section with bullet points. Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: Knowledge of: Knowledge of behavioral health emergency services and crisis response systems in Nebraska. Knowledge of disaster management and recovery principles and practices. Methods and techniques of disseminating information and soliciting public support. Experience in contract management or monitoring vendor performance. Experience in billing, invoicing, and auditing. Skills: Interpreting and communicating policy clarifications to interested groups and analyzing program trends, conducting formal presentations to provide education and share information. Abilities: Develop, organize and direct a major program. Work collaboratively in a team setting. Establish and maintain positive relationships with agency staff, service providers/contractors, community organizations and clients. Communicate electronically, on paper or in person to promote, explain, discuss, advise and interact with interested groups on various program issues. Exercise independent critical thinking skills. We could split into Skills and Abilities sections, but the instruction says use headings like Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It didn't list Knowledge but we could include Knowledge as part of Skills or separate. However we should only create sections when there is real specific content. We have content for Knowledge, Skills, Abilities. Could combine into a single "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities" section with sub-bullets? But the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It didn't list Knowledge but we could treat Knowledge as part of Skills or maybe we can have a "Knowledge" heading? Not in list but maybe allowed? Safer to follow the given examples: we can include Skills heading and put knowledge, skills, abilities under it. Or we could have separate headings for Knowledge, Skills, Abilities if we want, but they didn't list Knowledge as example but not prohibited. However they said "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we could add Knowledge heading if we want. But better to keep to the examples
