Foster Care & Adoption Case Manager
$100k/yrFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings using
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not include placeholder sections like Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting mentions "$3,000 Signing Incentive!" and benefits list. So we can have Benefits section. Pay? Not explicit salary amount, only signing incentive. No explicit pay range. So we should not create Pay section unless posting states it. It does not state salary, only signing incentive. So we should not create Pay heading. Schedule? Not explicit schedule details; mentions flexible work schedules, hybrid/virtual options as appropriate. That's schedule info. Could include Schedule section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. It does mention flexible work schedules, hybrid/virtual options. That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with that content. Benefits: we have many benefits listed. So include Benefits.
About the role: we have description of the Foster Care and Adoption Case Manager role. That's about the role. Could be About the role or About Oakland Family Services? The instruction: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have "About Oakland Family Services" description. That could be considered About the role? Actually it's about the organization. Could be placed under About the role? Might be better to have About the role for role description, and maybe we can include a brief about organization under that or maybe we can omit because not exactly heading. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We could include About the role covering both role and organization? Or we could have two sections: About the role (role description) and maybe we could add a section like About the Organization but not allowed headings. So we must fit into allowed headings. Perhaps we can put organization info under About the role as a preamble. Or we could create a section "About the role" and include both role and organization details. That's acceptable.
Responsibilities: list of duties from the role description. We'll extract bullet points.
Requirements: education, experience, etc.
Qualifications: maybe similar to requirements; but we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly Skills? Could be included in Requirements. We'll see.
We must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc.
We need to strip out duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. The posting includes a lot of fluff like "WHY WORK FOR OAKLAND FAMILY SERVICES?" etc. We need to keep substantive info: mission, vision, culture, benefits, role description, responsibilities, requirements.
We must not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include application instructions.
Let's extract:
- Signing incentive: $3,000 Signing Incentive! (should be included somewhere, maybe in Benefits or as a note). Could be part of Benefits.
- About Oakland Family Services: private non-profit, serving community >100 years, continuum of prevention, education, treatment services spanning life cycle. Mission: Providing individuals and families the opportunity to build brighter futures. Vision: Communities of thriving individuals and families. Culture: Top Workplace >10 years, warm, engaging, equitable, supportive, inclusive work environment. Flexibility, work/life balance, staff first, development, etc. Cultural values, staff events, etc.

- Schedule: Flexible work schedules, hybrid/virtual work options as appropriate.
- Responsibilities: many bullet points from "About The Opporunity/Work". Let's list them concisely but preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to keep all details but can be in
items. Must not drop any substantive detail. That's a lot; we need to include each responsibility as separate . Must ensure we don't omit any.
Let's parse the responsibilities paragraph:

We should include these as requirements.

We need to avoid duplication: there is mention of employee assistance program twice; we can keep once.
