for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the description.
We have:
Description Duties Description The Health Systems Specialist 2 (HSS 2) will work with the interdisciplinary team in the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care to ensure that research, policy, and training includes an integrated approach to patient-centered care. Targeting both health care providers as well as patients and families, the HSS 2 will be a crucial staff member and will work to discover deficiencies, improve communication, and increase education around hospice and palliative care issues, with subject matter expertise on advance care planning conversations and tools, bereavement support, and care, and care coordination community resources.
That's about duties/responsibilities.

Candidates with experience in Hospice, Palliative Care, Grief Counselling, Advance Care Planning preferred, due to nature of program.

Other info: No examination required. This position may require travel throughout New York State including overnights to areas not served by public transportation. Work-life balance etc.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe preferred qualifications?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if schedule info present? Not really; schedule not mentioned; maybe we can omit Schedule). The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can omit Schedule if no schedule info. Pay we have salary range. Benefits we have list. About the role maybe we can combine description of role. Responsibilities we have duties. Requirements we have minimum qualifications. Qualifications maybe we can treat as preferred qualifications? But we already have Requirements for minimum; Qualifications could be preferred? However instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide to put minimum qualifications under Requirements, preferred qualifications under Qualifications, skills under Skills (maybe MS Office, time-management etc). But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's extract:
About the role: maybe a short paragraph summarizing role: "The Health Systems Specialist 2 (HSS 2) will work with the interdisciplinary team in the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care to ensure that research, policy, and training includes an integrated approach to patient-centered care. Targeting both health care providers as well as patients and families, the HSS 2 will be a crucial staff member and will work to discover deficiencies, improve communication, and increase education around hospice and palliative care issues, with subject matter expertise on advance care planning conversations and tools, bereavement support, and care coordination community resources."
Responsibilities: Could list duties: discover deficiencies, improve communication, increase education, develop quality assurance and process improvement workplans, assist with updates to DOH public website, coordinate education and outreach campaigns annually for the public, participate/present at industry conferences. Also maybe "work with interdisciplinary team". But that's more role. We'll list as bullet list.
Requirements (minimum qualifications): Two paths: Permanent Transfer Candidates: Current NYS DOH employee with one year of permanent or contingent-permanent, competitive status as a Health Systems Specialist 2 (Social Work), G20 OR current NYS employee with one year of permanent or contingent-permanent, competitive status in a title G18 or higher and eligible to transfer under Section 70.1 of NYS Civil Service Law. This title is part of NY HELPS. Non-Competitive Candidates Via NY HELPS: Possession of NYS license and current registration as a Licensed Master Social Worker AND one year of post-licensure experience providing clinical services in a licensed healthcare facility or program or utilizing clinical knowledge in the review and oversight of clinical services for quality assurance or reimbursement purposes; or registration as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
We can present as bullet list.
Qualifications (preferred): strong time-management, critical-thinking, problem-solving skills; communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders; strong MS Office skills; experience in Hospice, Palliative Care, Grief Counselling, Advance Care Planning preferred.
Skills: maybe we can combine with Qualifications? But we need Skills section; we could list MS Office skills, communication, time-management, critical thinking, problem-solving. However those are also in preferred qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we treat Qualifications as minimum, Skills as preferred/skills. But we already used Requirements for minimum. So Qualifications could be preferred qualifications. Skills could be specific technical skills like MS Office. But we can also put both.
Better: Requirements = minimum qualifications. Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Skills = maybe we can list "strong MS Office skills" as skill, plus maybe "communication". But we can also keep Skills empty? But we must not emit empty sections. So we need to decide.
We could combine preferred qualifications into Skills section, and leave Qualifications empty? But we need to follow headings list; we can omit Qualifications if no specific content besides what we put in Skills. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. And maybe Skills (MS Office, communication). Qualifications maybe omitted if we put preferred under Skills. Let's see.
We have specific content for: About the role (description), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Benefits (list), Pay (salary range). Also we have travel requirement (may require travel throughout NYS including overnights). That could be under Responsibilities or a separate section like Schedule? Not schedule. Could be under Responsibilities as bullet: "May require travel throughout New York State including overnights to areas not served by public transportation."
We also have "No examination is required." That's minor metadata; could be folded into a short p under Requirements maybe? Or we could drop as minor.
We have "This position is part of the NYS HELPS program." Already mentioned.
We have "We offer a work-life balance and a generous benefits package, worth 65% of salary, including: ..." Already benefits.
We have "The NYS Department of Health is committed to making New York a safer, healthier, and more equitable place to live..." That's boilerplate mission statement; we should remove.
We have accommodation contact info etc - boilerplate; remove.
We have "The NYS Department of Health does not participate in E-Verify and does not sponsor visa applications." boilerplate; remove.
We have "For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate of the position (beginning of the salary range). Promotion salaries are calculated..." That's maybe pay details but generic; we could keep as part of Pay section? It's generic but maybe we can include as brief note. However instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is not exactly boilerplate but maybe considered generic HR info; but it's about salary calculation. Might be considered substantive? It's about how salary is determined. Could keep as a short p under Pay.
But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we should keep that note about salary being hiring rate etc. It's substantive about pay.
Thus Pay section could include: salary range ($81,532 - $102,354) includes Downstate Adjustment of $4,000. For new State employees appointed to graded positions, the annual salary is the hiring rate of the position (beginning of the salary range). Promotion salaries are calculated by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller in accordance with NYS Civil Service Law, OSC Payroll rules and regulations, and negotiated union contracts.
We'll put that in
.
Now Benefits: list items.
We need to format as
