Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). The posting includes description, benefits, working conditions, position summary, essential job functions, requirements, other requirements, Christian commitment, etc.
We need to map content to sections.
Section headings:
About the role
etc. We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: could be the description paragraph about mission, etc. The posting starts: "Apply Description A world where every child is safe..." That's about the organization and role. So we can put that in About the role. - Responsibilities: essential job functions list. - Requirements: the bullet list of requirements (bachelor's degree, experience, etc). Also other requirements (driver's license, background checks, drug screen, CPR). Could be under Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can separate: Qualifications could be education and experience; Requirements could be other requirements like driver license, certifications. But we must not create thin sections. Better to combine? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, driver license, etc), Benefits, Working Conditions? But Working Conditions is not in the list of allowed headings; allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit working conditions into one of those, maybe Requirements or Skills? Working conditions includes travel, lifting, etc. Could be under Requirements (physical requirements) or Skills? Probably Requirements. - Benefits: we have benefits listed: competitive salaries, flex work schedules, paid time off, medical, dental and vision insurance options, voluntary life insurance options, paid holidays, generous retirement plan (after one year...). Also mention status non-exempt. So we can include Benefits. - Pay: not specified beyond "competitive salaries". That's vague; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says competitive salaries but no numbers. That's vague; maybe we should not include Pay because it's not specific. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits are stated, so we include Benefits. Pay: only "competitive salaries" which is not specific; maybe we should omit Pay section. - Schedule: posting mentions flex work schedules, but not specific schedule. It says flex work schedules under benefits. That's not a specific schedule. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It mentions flex work schedules but not a set schedule; still it's a schedule detail. Might be considered schedule info. However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state flex work schedules as a benefit, but that's under benefits. Could we still have Schedule section? Probably not, because it's not a defined schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". Safer to omit Schedule. - Skills: not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer but we should not invent. So omit Skills. - Qualifications: we could separate education and experience as Qualifications, and other requirements as Requirements. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine education/experience and other requirements into Requirements. Then we would have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. That's four substantive sections. Check if any content for Qualifications separate: The posting mentions "Must possess a bachelor’s degree... Master’s degree preferred. Minimum of two (2) years of relevant case management experience." That's qualifications. Other requirements: driver's license, background checks, CPR, etc. Could be separate but we can keep together. We need to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (essential job functions) we need a list. For Requirements we need a list. For Benefits we need a list.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The initial paragraph: "A world where every child is safe, every family is strong, and hope outshines hardship. We help children heal from trauma so they can build healthy relationships, succeed in education and discover their own world of opportunities and possibilities. This happens by engaging a child in the context of their family issues. We know that, to end a cycle of abuse or trauma, we must work with children to clarify their thoughts and feelings and get a realistic view of each family member’s role in their life. In response to this community-wide challenge, Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services (PCHAS), now operates 12 programs in 34 locations, serving nearly 4,500 children and families each year, which provide children with permanent homes and adults with increased self-sufficiency. This is accomplished by the agency’s commitment to “The PCHAS Way” which inspires the agency to be strength-focused, family-centered, and goal driven with every client."
Also there is "Status: Non-exempt Working Conditions: ..." but we may incorporate working conditions into Requirements or maybe a separate section? Since we don't have a Working Conditions heading, we could include working conditions details in Requirements (physical requirements) or maybe in Responsibilities? Better to include in Requirements as part of physical/working conditions.
But we must not lose that info. So we need to include: "Working Conditions: Works in a typical office setting and from employee’s home, or other community location as established by flexible work agreement, to complete paperwork, documentation, and other indirect service tasks. Meets clients in home, foster home, residential facility, hospital, or other community locations as needed; drives an automobile on a routine basis in all types of areas; must have reliable transportation. Requires sitting, standing, bending and reaching. May require lifting up to 25 pounds. Requires manual dexterity sufficient to operate standard office machines such as computers, copiers, calculators, the telephone and other office equipment. Requires normal range of hearing and vision. Must have the ability and energy to visit more than one family per day."
Also "Position Summary: The Foster Care Case Manager (FCCM) is responsible for safety and services to children and families in foster care. Tasks include facilitating Family Support Team meetings, development of individualized care (treatment) plans, coordination of individualized services across all settings, coordination of providers working in the home, school, and community environment and documentation of support related activities and services. The Foster Care Case Manager promotes effective utilization of support services to achieve permanency for children and families."
That could go under About the role or Responsibilities. Since we have Responsibilities for essential job functions, we could put Position Summary under About the role as overview.
Essential Job Functions list: we need to capture each bullet.
Let's list them:
- Follows all contractual and agency policies, procedures, and seamless delivery of services to children and their families.

Also maybe "Status: Non-exempt" could be included in Benefits? It's employment status. Could be part of Benefits or Requirements. But we can include in Benefits as a note.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
