Thus:

We also have some additional prose about training and career growth that could go under About the role or a separate section like "Training and Development". But we have no specific heading for that; we could incorporate into About the role.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Already not.
Check for any boilerplate removed: we removed EEO etc.
Check for duplication: we have not repeated same info.
Check for any missing substantive info: The paragraph about "New to Human Services? We'll Train You." and "A Starting Point With Room to Grow." includes some content about training and career growth that we haven't explicitly included. We have Paid Training and Professional Development in Benefits, and we have Tuition Reimbursement Program and Employee Referral Bonus Program also in Benefits. The career growth opportunities (Assistant Manager, Group Home Manager) are mentioned in About the role and also in Pay? Actually they are in "A Starting Point With Room to Grow". We should include that somewhere. Could add a sentence in About the role paragraph: "And for employees interested in growing beyond direct support, this position can be the beginning of a career path toward opportunities such as Assistant Manager and Group Home Manager." Already we have that in About the role? We included that in the About the role paragraph earlier? Let's see: In our About the role paragraph we wrote: "... You'll gain hands-on experience assisting individuals with everyday life, supporting greater independence, and becoming part of a professional residential team. And for employees interested in growing beyond direct support, this position can be the beginning of a career path toward opportunities such as Assistant Manager and Group Home Manager." Yes we included that.
We also have "Paid training and ongoing support" included in About the role? We wrote: "We'll provide paid training and ongoing support to help you learn the role." Yes.
We also have "Experience supporting individuals with disabilities is welcomed, but it is not required." That's part of Requirements? Could add as a note. Might be good to add as a list item under Requirements: "Experience supporting individuals with disabilities is welcomed, but not required." However that's not a requirement but a note. Could add as a after required list.
We also have "What matters is bringing reliability, professionalism, strong communication, and a willingness to learn." That's similar to required skills.
We have "Strong communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills" already.
We could add a note about reliability, professionalism, willingness to learn.
But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. So we should include those statements.
Let's add a

We'll place after required list.
