Now craft HTML.
First, About the role: combine intro paragraph about LSSI and role hiring full-time Child Welfare Specialist Monday-Friday? Actually schedule is separate; but we can mention full-time in About the role? Might be duplicate. Better to keep About the role as organization description and role summary: "Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) is a leading not-for-profit organization providing healing, justice and wholeness to people and communities. For over 150 years, LSSI has made a difference in the lives of children and families, and we're still a strong, viable presence in the State of Illinois, continuing that commitment to making a difference. LSSI is hiring a full-time Child Welfare Specialist." That's fine.

Also earlier sentence "Responsible for providing the full range of foster care and/or adoption services to children and families within state mandates, juvenile court directions, COA standards, program plans, and agency policy."

Note: "Competitive salary based upon relevant education, experience, and licensure." and "Salary $60,000-$67,000/Annually." are both about pay; we could put them under Pay section instead of Benefits. But the instruction: we should have Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range and competitive salary. So we can put Pay section with those details. Benefits section then would include other benefits: On Demand Flexible Paydays, Opportunity for advancement, Comprehensive benefits package..., Paid training.
But note "On Demand Flexible Paydays for earned wages through an app called Dayforce Wallet." is about pay flexibility; could be considered Pay as well.

We need to decide based on content.
We have salary info: "Competitive salary based upon relevant education, experience, and licensure." and "Salary $60,000-$
