Group & Family Programs Supervisor (Full Time)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: Position description (maybe About the role), Position duties & essential functions (Responsibilities), Minimum qualifications (Education & Formal Training, Experience, Other Minimum Requirements). Also includes some specifics like driver's license, moving equipment, CPR/First-Aid, flexible schedule, background/drug screening. No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule (though schedule mentioned as flexible schedule). The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can include Schedule if they mention flexible schedule, weekends, holidays, overnight/evening hours, all weather extremes. That's specific enough. Benefits: none mentioned. Pay: none. So we should not include Pay or Benefits sections.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (position description), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (minimum qualifications). Could also have "Qualifications" but we can combine. The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate ones.
We have content: Position description (About the role). Duties (Responsibilities). Minimum qualifications includes Education & Formal Training, Experience, Other Minimum Requirements. Could split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills (computer skills, presentation skills, etc.) and Other requirements (driver's license, physical ability, CPR, schedule, background check). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements and Skills.
Let's extract details:
About the role (Position Description):
- Under general direction, the Group & Family Programs Supervisor is responsible for the organization, development, and implementation of all group & family education programs and experiences.
- Associated programs include camps, overnights, and scout programs.
- This position is responsible for supervising group and family staff along with camp programming, while supporting the overall mission and associated education programs of the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium.
Responsibilities (Position Duties & Essential Functions):
We have percentages: 65% Oversees all operational aspects of all group programs, such as camps, family programs, and on-grounds education experiences, including:
- Coordinating, scheduling, evaluating, and supervising program execution.
- Leading programs when necessary.
- Purchasing, organizing, and maintaining program supplies and materials.
- Overseeing staffing, training, scheduling, evaluation, and administration of associated programs.
- Coordinating management of resources and technology for associated programming.
- Establishing and managing the annual program calendar.
- Compiling, maintaining, and reporting on program participation and impact.
- Assisting with development and coordination of marketing efforts for programs.
35% Directly supervises staff, including:
- Overseeing the hiring and onboarding process of area education staff.
- Overseeing and assisting with employee training, evaluation, and discipline.
- Assists with facilitating and implementing the mission, strategic plan, and core values of the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium.
- *This position may at times be requested to perform other duties or special projects as assigned, which are in the best interest of the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium.
- *All employees must be able to perform the essential functions of this position satisfactorily and, upon request, reasonable accommodations will be made to enable employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their job, absent undue hardship.
We should keep the asterisk notes? They are boilerplate? The second bullet about reasonable accommodations is EEO/legal boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So remove that line. The first asterisk about other duties is substantive? It says may be requested to perform other duties or special projects as assigned, which are in the best interest. That's somewhat generic but maybe keep? It's not boilerplate; it's a statement about flexibility. Could keep as part of responsibilities.
Minimum Qualifications:
EDUCATION & FORMAL TRAINING: Bachelor’s degree in education, biology or related field preferred.
EXPERIENCE: 2-3 years’ experience with formal/informal education programs strongly preferred.
Prior experience in zoos, aquariums, museums, interpretation, or related field welcomed.
Previous experience coordinating camps, tours, and other fee-based programs preferred.
Experience supervising and/or working with volunteers welcomed.
Knowledge of conservation/biological/environmental teaching programs and interpretation welcomed.
Knowledge of classroom management techniques and skills using teaching aids, including animal, biofacts, artifacts, and library resources preferred.
Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and audio-visual equipment, required.
Strong presentation, verbal, and written communication skills.
OTHER MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
Must have a valid driver's license.
Can move equipment weighing up to 50 pounds, with or without assistance.
Must be willing to become CPR/First-Aid certified.
Must be able to work a flexible schedule, including weekends, holidays, and overnight/evening hours, in all weather extremes.
Must pass a background and drug screening.
We need to output sections: About the role (p), Responsibilities (ul), Requirements (maybe split into Education & Experience, Skills, Other Requirements). But we must not create thin sections. Could combine Education & Experience into Requirements, Skills into Skills section, Other Requirements into Requirements? Or we could have Requirements (education/experience), Skills (computer, presentation), and Schedule (flexible schedule). The schedule is part of Other Minimum Requirements; we could make a Schedule section.
But we must not create a Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state flexible schedule, weekends, holidays, overnight/evening hours, all weather extremes. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: none, so omit.
Pay: none, omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills, Schedule, Other Requirements? But we might combine Other Requirements into Schedule? However other requirements include driver's license, moving equipment, CPR/First-Aid, background/drug screening. Those are not schedule. Could put them under Requirements or a separate section like "Requirements". But we already have Requirements for education/experience. Could rename that section to "Qualifications". The instruction list includes Qualifications as a possible heading. So we could have:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
...
Qualifications
...
(education & experience)
Skills
...
(computer skills, presentation skills)
Schedule
Must be able to work a flexible schedule, including weekends, holidays, and overnight/evening hours, in all weather extremes.
Other Requirements
...
(driver's license, moving equipment, CPR/First-Aid, background/drug screening)
But we need to avoid thin sections. Other Requirements has 4 items; that's okay. Schedule is a single sentence; maybe still okay as it's specific content. Could combine Schedule into Other Requirements? But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having many sections may be thin. Perhaps better to combine Schedule and Other Requirements into a section like "Additional Requirements". But we have headings list includes Schedule as possible; but we can decide not to create Schedule if it's thin. However the schedule info is substantive; we could include it under Additional Requirements.
Let's think: The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should aim for maybe 3-4 sections. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (covering education/experience/skills/other requirements). But we need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we could have a single Qualifications section with sublists? But we need to follow headings list; we can still have only those headings we need.
Maybe we can have:
About the role (p)
Responsibilities (ul)
Qualifications (ul) - includes education, experience, skills, other requirements (driver's license, etc.) and schedule.
But we need to separate skills? Not required; we can just list all qualifications in one ul.
However the instruction says use headings like Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule when appropriate. It doesn't forbid combining; but we should follow the spirit: if we have content for Skills, we could make a Skills heading. But we can also put them under Qualifications.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, I'd combine education/experience/skills/other requirements into one Qualifications section. Then we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, maybe Schedule? But schedule could be part of Qualifications.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications.
Let's extract all qualification details into a list.
Qualifications items:
- Bachelor’s degree in education, biology or related field preferred.
- 2-3 years’ experience with formal/informal education programs strongly preferred.
- Prior experience in zoos, aquariums, museums, interpretation, or related field welcomed.
- Previous experience coordinating camps, tours, and other fee-based programs preferred.
- Experience supervising and/or working with volunteers welcomed.
- Knowledge of conservation/biological/environmental teaching programs and interpretation welcomed.
- Knowledge of classroom management techniques and skills using teaching aids, including animal, biofacts, artifacts, and library resources preferred.
- Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and audio-visual equipment, required.
- Strong presentation, verbal, and written communication skills.
- Must have a valid driver's license.
- Can move equipment weighing up to 50 pounds, with or without assistance.
- Must be willing to become CPR/First-Aid certified.
- Must be able to work a flexible schedule, including weekends, holidays, and overnight/evening hours, in all weather extremes.
- Must pass a background and drug screening.
We should keep the asterisk note about other duties? That is under Responsibilities; we can include as a list item: "May be requested to perform other duties or special projects as assigned."
We should remove the EEO line about reasonable accommodations.
