OTHR$28.3–$40.5/hrPart-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. First, remove boilerplate: "If you are an existing employee of South Shore Health then please apply through the internal career site." That's application instruction, remove. Also "Requisition Number R-23772 Facility LOC0001 - 55 Fogg Road55 Fogg Road Weymouth, MA 02190 Department Name SSH Cardiac Rehab Status Part time Budgeted Hours 0 Shift Day (United States of America)" - this is metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with location, status, etc. But we must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. So we can include a

with location, department, status, shift. Then "The Cardiac Rehab Exercise Physiologist performs cardiac rehabilitation functions to facilitate patient cardiac fitness. Participates in process of assisting the patient with cardiac risk factor reduction and long term lifestyle changes." That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with a paragraph. Compensation Pay Range $28.30 - $40.50 => Pay section. Essential Functions: a long list of duties. That's responsibilities. So

Responsibilities

with
  • items. Then there is a section "Technology and Learning a - ..." and "Non-Essential Functions", "Professional Behaviors", "Standards Of Employment". Those could be considered Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. But we need to map. Job Requirements: Minimum Education - Required Baccalaureate or higher degree in physical therapy, exercise science, or equivalent required. Masters degree in exercise science or exercise physiology or equivalent preferred. Minimum Work Experience - Preferred Experience preferred with working with cardiac patient population with multiple co-morbidities. Required License/Certification ACLS - Advanced Cardiac Life Support Required Additional Knowledge And Abilities Knowledge and experience in techniques of Cardiac Rehabilitation. Knowledge in exercise physiology, exercise testing, exercise prescription, group leadership, and cardiac monitoring techniques (including both in-person as well as monitoring techniques for in-home virtual cardiac rehab settings). Must have excellent interpersonal skills and enjoy working with groups of patients and be a part of a multidisciplinary team including cardiac nurses, registered dietitian and referring cardiologists The department is open M-F 7a-7p and Saturday 7-12. The per diem schedule will be based on the department needs and per diems are expected to rotate Saturdays (typically 1 Saturday every 4-5 weeks) => schedule info. Then "Responsibilities If Required Education if Required: License/Registration/Certification Requirements ACLS (AHA) Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certification - American Heart Association (AHA) (Including courses offered through SSH), INSTRUCTOR- Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) - American Heart Association (AHA) (Including courses offered through SSH)" This seems duplicate. We need to avoid duplication. We'll produce sections: - About the role (paragraph) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (education, experience, license/certification, knowledge/abilities) - Skills (maybe interpersonal skills, group leadership, etc.) Could combine with Requirements. - Pay (Pay Range) - Schedule (department hours, per diem schedule) - Benefits? Not mentioned. So skip. - Qualifications? Could be same as Requirements. We'll just have Requirements. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay range. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, a short paragraph for metadata: location, department, status, shift. We'll put:

    Located at 55 Fogg Road, Weymouth, MA 02190. Part‑time position in the SSH Cardiac Rehab department, day shift.

    Then About the role. Then Responsibilities: we need to extract essential functions list items. The essential functions list is long with many sentences. We'll break into bullet points each representing a duty. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet as a separate
  • with the text. We must be careful not to include boilerplate like "Demonstrates ability to obtain multisession data reports from Scottcare system as needed" etc. Those are part of essential functions, so include. We'll need to parse the essential functions section: It starts after "Essential Functions Patient Care/Evaluation:" and goes until before "Documentation". Actually there are subheadings: Patient Care/Evaluation, Treatment, Documentation, Discharge, Billing, Communication, Educational Activities, Technology and Learning, Non-Essential Functions, Professional Behaviors, Standards Of Employment. But the instruction says to use

    for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not keep those subheadings; we should combine everything under Responsibilities (or maybe split into Responsibilities and Requirements). The essential functions are duties, so Responsibilities. Thus we will take all bullet-like sentences under Essential Functions and subsequent sections that describe duties (like Treatment, Documentation, Discharge, Billing, Communication, Educational Activities, Technology and Learning, Non-Essential Functions, Professional Behaviors, Standards Of Employment) as responsibilities. But some of those are more about behaviors, standards, etc. Could be considered Requirements or Skills. However the instruction says to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can put all duties under Responsibilities. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. We'll need to extract each distinct duty sentence. Let's copy the essential functions text and split by periods that start a new capital letter? Might be messy but we can approximate. Given the length, we can produce a reasonable set of bullet points covering the main duties. We must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot omit details. That's tough. But we can try to include each sentence as a bullet. Let's extract the essential functions section exactly as provided: "Essential Functions Patient Care/Evaluation: Selects appropriate evaluation tools consistent with patient’s history, diagnosis, and medical status Evaluation techniques are performed safely and accurately Problems identified reflect an accurate assessment of the patient’s status Short and long term goals are realistic, measurable and address functional needs Goals are identified in collaboration with the patient and/or family Appropriate plan of care including rehab potential, estimated length of stay, treatment frequency and duration.
