We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes job requirements, duties, etc. No explicit sections like "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We need to map content to appropriate headings. The posting includes "JOB REQUIREMENTS:" then description of role, duties, etc. Also "NON-ESSENTIAL DUTIES:" and "MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT USED:" and "PHYSICAL DEMANDS". Also "OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS:" and "APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:" which we should drop (application instructions). Also we need to drop boilerplate like E-Verify links, etc.
We need to preserve substantive info: responsibilities/duties, qualifications/skills, maybe physical demands? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements/Qualifications (knowledge, abilities), Skills (maybe combine), Physical Demands? Not in list but could be a section if we want but not in given examples; but we could still use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements/Qualifications (knowledge, abilities), Skills (maybe combine), Physical Demands? Not in list but could be a section if we want but not in given examples; but we could still use for any heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Probably we should stick to those categories. Physical demands maybe not needed; could be omitted or placed under Requirements? Might be considered part of Requirements. But we can include a section "Physical Demands" if we want but not in examples; safer to omit or incorporate into Requirements.
We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate, application instructions, E-Verify, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:
From JOB REQUIREMENTS paragraph:
"The Family Support Specialist (FSS) is responsible for working directly with clients and Child Protective Services Case Managers. The primary role of the FSS is to develop working relationships with families to provide service coordination, support, and training to assist families in meeting the needs of their children and enhancing a parents' parental protective capacity. This position will require the ability to work individually and with small groups of clients on tasks including, but not limited to, money management, parenting skills, personal hygiene, nutrition, housing, safety services, and supervising family interactions."
Then "Essential Duties" list:
- Arrange, coordinate and plan family interaction visits when children are placed outside of the family home.
- Provide transportation to and from family interaction, community visits, or medical appointments when necessary.
- Encourage, model, and coach appropriate early childhood practices, parenting skills and behavior management/modification techniques that are evidence based approaches.
- Promote self-reflection by caregivers on actions to determine the effectiveness of actions or practices within daily routines.
- Coordinate referrals to services and related agencies to meet the needs identified in the care plan.
- Assist with identifying and establishing natural and professional support in the community.
- Partner with families and the assigned case manager to develop an individualized plan/goals for the family that is based on information collected through the assessment and family interviews to address medical, social, educational, and other services needed to further family goals, plans, and success strategies.
- Safeguard and maintain individual records to keep consumer files complete, confidential, and in order. This includes filing consumer documents in secure areas; adhering to the recommended organization of components of individual files; and obtaining and documenting Releases of Information agreements prior to sharing private consumer information with others.
- Develop a personal knowledge of topics related to parent requests through use of literature, personal contacts, electronic resources, and professional development.
- Share information and resources regarding developmental milestones.
- Work with families in an empathic, professional, and objective manner.
- Maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate program and client needs that may include evenings and weekends.
- Participate in training opportunities to maintain individual and organizational competency in assigned areas of responsibility.
- Attend meetings and coordinate services with other team members as necessary.
- Ability to exercise a high level of independent responsibility, judgement, and initiative in evaluating and completing work assignments.
- Handling non-public confidential information in accordance with department policies and practices, as well as local, State, and Federal law.
- Other job duties as assigned by supervisor.
Then "NON-ESSENTIAL DUTIES: Performs related functions as assigned." (maybe we can drop as not substantive? It's minimal; could be omitted.)
"MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT USED: General office equipment Computer, Microsoft Office Applications (Word, Outlook, TEAMS, Excel), EWisacwis"
"PHYSICAL DEMANDS Lifting 20 pounds maximum with frequent lifting and/or carrying of objects weighing up to 10 pounds. Intermittent standing, walking and sitting; occasional driving. Using hand(s)/feet for repetitive single grasping, fine manipulation, pushing and pulling, and operating controls. Occasional bending, squatting, climbing, reaching, and grappling; frequent twisting. Communicating orally in a clear manner. Distinguishing sounds at various frequencies and volumes. Distinguishing people or objects at varied distances under a variety of light conditions. This position description should not be interpreted as all inclusive. It is intended to identify the major responsibilities and requirement of this job. The incumbents may be req ested to perform job-related responsibilities and tasks other than those stated in this description."
"OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS: Knowledge of general office procedures and practices. Knowledge of human behavior. Knowledge of and ability to utilize a computer and the required software. Ability to plan and organize work to make effective use of time. Ability to accept new ideas and ways of accomplishing purposes with understanding of need to deal with existing system. Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the team, clients and the public. Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing. Ability to work the required hours of the position. Ability to set professional boundaries with clients and coworkers. Ability to identify, discuss, and mitigate biases related to the provision of services to diverse client groups."
We need to drop application instructions and E-Verify links.
Now we need to structure into sections.
Possible sections:
- Responsibilities (essential duties)
- Requirements / Qualifications (knowledge, abilities, etc.)
- Skills (maybe combine with requirements)
- Physical Demands (if we want)
- Materials and Equipment Used (maybe not needed but could be under Requirements? Not typical. Could be omitted.)
We need to avoid empty sections.
Let's decide to have:
Responsibilities
with of essential duties.
Qualifications
with of knowledge/abilities from OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS plus maybe some from job requirements paragraph (like ability to work individually and with small groups, etc.) but we can incorporate.
We could also have Skills
but maybe redundant.
Better: Responsibilities, Qualifications, Physical Demands, Materials and Equipment.
But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one section "Qualifications and Skills". Or just "Qualifications". We'll include knowledge, abilities, software, etc.
Physical Demands is substantive; we could include as its own section.
Materials and Equipment Used is also substantive but maybe minor; could be omitted or included under Qualifications? Probably better to include as its own section if we want to preserve all info. But instruction: prefer few substantive sections; we could combine Materials and Equipment under Qualifications? Not ideal. Could include as a short not a heading. The instruction: Use
for section headings (list). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we could put materials and equipment as a
under Qualifications section.
Similarly, physical demands could be a
under Qualifications or its own section. But we can make a section "Physical Demands" with
(since it's prose). That's okay.
Thus sections:
- Responsibilities (
)
- Qualifications ( of knowledge/abilities)
- Physical Demands ()
- Materials and Equipment Used (
)
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like "This position description should not be interpreted as all inclusive." That's part of physical demands paragraph; we could keep it? It's boilerplate but maybe part of description. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's not EEO etc. Might be okay to keep. However we could trim that sentence as it's generic. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That sentence is not exactly those categories; it's a disclaimer about the description. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also remove "The incumbents may be requested to perform job-related responsibilities and tasks other than those stated in this description." That's also boilerplate. So we can omit those sentences.
Thus physical demands paragraph will be just the demands list.
Now let's craft HTML.
We'll start with
Responsibilities
then with each duty as - .
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info from essential duties list.
Let's list them:
1. Arrange, coordinate and plan family interaction visits when children are placed outside of the family home.
2. Provide transportation to and from family interaction, community visits, or medical appointments when necessary.
3. Encourage, model, and coach appropriate early childhood practices, parenting skills and behavior management/modification techniques that are evidence based approaches.
4. Promote self-reflection by caregivers on actions to determine the effectiveness of actions or practices within daily routines.
5. Coordinate referrals to services and related agencies to meet the needs identified in the care plan.
6. Assist with identifying and establishing natural and professional support in the community.

8. Safeguard and maintain individual records to keep consumer files complete, confidential, and in order. This includes filing consumer documents in secure areas; adhering to the recommended organization of components of individual files; and obtaining and documenting Releases of Information agreements prior to sharing private consumer information with others.
9. Develop a personal knowledge of topics related to parent requests through use of literature, personal contacts, electronic resources, and professional development.
10. Share information and resources regarding developmental milestones.
11. Work with families in an empathic, professional, and objective manner.
12. Maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate program and client needs that may include evenings and weekends.
13. Participate in training opportunities to maintain individual and organizational competency in assigned areas of responsibility.
14. Attend meetings and coordinate services with other team members as necessary.
15. Ability to exercise a high level of independent responsibility, judgement, and initiative in evaluating and completing work assignments.
16. Handling non-public confidential information in accordance with department policies and practices, as well as local, State, and Federal law.
17. Other job duties as assigned by supervisor.
Note: Some items start with "Ability to" etc. Keep as is.
Now Qualifications: from OTHER EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS list:
- Knowledge of general office procedures and practices.
- Knowledge of human behavior.
- Knowledge of and ability to utilize a computer and the required software.
- Ability to plan and organize work to make effective use of time.
- Ability to accept new ideas and ways of accomplishing purposes with understanding of need to deal with existing system.
- Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with the team, clients and the public.
- Ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Probably we should stick to those categories. Physical demands maybe not needed; could be omitted or placed under Requirements? Might be considered part of Requirements. But we can include a section "Physical Demands" if we want but not in examples; safer to omit or incorporate into Requirements.
We need to remove duplicated lines, boilerplate, application instructions, E-Verify, etc.
Let's extract substantive content:

We need to drop application instructions and E-Verify links.
