Front Office Specialist
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 posting.
Content:
- PERKS Full Benefits Package - Medical, Vision, Dental and Life Insurance, 401k + Employer Matching, Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays, Competitive Base Pay, Paid Maternity Leave, Employee Discounts
- SUMMARY: A Front Office Specialist is trained to act as the first point of contact, setting the tone for a world class Total Patient Experience. This employee will also perform the necessary administrative responsibilities needed to create a smooth check-in/out experience for patients.
- ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties.
- QUALIFICATIONS: previous medical office experience preferred; previous optometry and/or ophthalmology experience strongly preferred. Minimum of 1 year in a position interacting with customers/patients or the equivalent combination of education and experience. Favorable result on background check as required by state. Must be able to provide proof of identity and right to work in the United States.
- EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE: High School Diploma or GED required
- LICENSES AND CREDENTIALS: None
- SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY: Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook
- LOCATION: Work is primarily performed in a standard office or clinical setting. However, travel to other locations may be required to carry out essential job duties and responsibilities
- PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: description.
- Then there is application instruction and EEO etc which we must remove.
We need to map to sections.
Possible sections:
- About the role: could be the SUMMARY paragraph.
- Responsibilities: ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
- Requirements: maybe combine QUALIFICATIONS, EDUCATION AND/OR EXPERIENCE, LICENSES AND CREDENTIALS? But we can have separate sections: Qualifications, Skills (systems and technology), Benefits (perks), Pay (competitive base pay), Schedule? Not given schedule specifics; we should not create Schedule unless present. Pay: we have "Competitive Base Pay" mentioned under PERKS. So we can include Pay section with that detail.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Skills: Systems and Technology.
- Qualifications: maybe combine qualifications and education.
We need to avoid empty sections. Use for each.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like percentages in physical requirements etc.
We must remove boilerplate: application instruction, EEO, note about job descriptions, etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:

Pay
Competitive Base Pay
We might also include Location and Physical Requirements as sections? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No Location or Physical Requirements headings. So we must not create headings for those; we need to incorporate that info somewhere else if we want to preserve all substantive information. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot drop location and physical requirements. But we are limited to using only those headings? The instruction says: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not an exhaustive list; we could use other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are the expected headings; we should stick to them. However we must preserve all substantive information; if we cannot add headings for location/physical requirements, we could embed that info under existing sections like Responsibilities or Qualifications? But that might be misrepresenting. Perhaps we can add a section "Requirements" to capture location and physical requirements? The list includes Requirements as a possible heading. So we could put location and physical requirements under Requirements. That seems appropriate: Requirements could include location, physical requirements, etc. Meanwhile Qualifications covers experience/education. Skills covers systems/technology. Benefits covers perks. Pay covers compensation. Schedule not present, so omit.
Thus we need a Requirements section.
Let's craft Requirements:
- Location: Work is primarily performed in a standard office or clinical setting. However, travel to other locations may be required to carry out essential job duties and responsibilities.
- Physical Requirements: This role requires a variety of physical activities to effectively perform essential job functions. The position involves frequent walking (75%), sitting (50%), and standing (50%), with regular bending, stooping, and reaching (25–50%). Employees must be able to lift, carry, push, and pull items up to 25 lbs. Strong fine motor skills and full use of hands are essential, as the role demands constant grasping, writing/typing, and use of technology. Visual and auditory acuity—including color, depth, peripheral vision, and the ability to adjust focus—is required 100% of the time. Occasional driving or climbing may also be necessary.
We should keep that as prose under Requirements, maybe as
. Could also split into two paragraphs. We must not include boilerplate like "If you need assistance with this application..." etc. Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The PERKS also included "Competitive Base Pay" which we placed under Pay. Also "Paid Maternity Leave" under Benefits. Also "Employee Discounts". Good. Also the SUMMARY we used as About the role. Check for any other info: "Previous medical office experience preferred; previous optometry and/or ophthalmology experience strongly preferred." included in Qualifications. "Minimum of 1 year in a position interacting with customers/patients or the equivalent combination of education and experience" included. "Favorable result on background check as required by state." included. "Must be able to provide proof of identity and right to work in the United States." included. "High School Diploma or GED required." we can add under Qualifications or Requirements? It's education; could be under Qualifications. Let's add as bullet. "LICENSES AND CREDENTIALS None" we skip. "SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook" under Skills. "LOCATION Work is primarily performed in a standard office or clinical setting. However, travel to other locations may be required to carry out essential job duties and responsibilities." under Requirements. "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS ..." under Requirements. Now check for any other: "If you need assistance with this application, please contact (636) 227-2600. Please do not contact the office directly – only resumes submitted through this website will be considered." This is application instruction, remove. "EyeCare Partners is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status." EEO, remove. "NOTE: Job descriptions are intended to be accurate reflections of those principal job elements essential for making fair pay decisions about jobs. Nothing in this job description restricts management right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time." remove. Now produce HTML. We need to output only HTML fragment, no or , no markdown fences. Let's construct:
