We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like application instructions, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Let's parse the posting: - Intro: St Peter’s Preparatory School, Lympstone, is one of the most successful and forward-looking independent preparatory schools in the South West, awarded a ‘significant strength’ in our most recent ISI Inspection (May 2024), and we pride ourselves on outstanding learning support. We are seeking a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to provide support to teaching staff in the academic development and pastoral care of individual children or groups of children, including SEND pupils, from Nursery to Year 8. The role holder will be expected to teach whole classes in accordance with teacher-set plans as required. We are looking for someone with a positive and proactive approach, with a love and enthusiasm towards the education of children. - Requirements: The successful applicant will be required to have a suitable Higher Level Teaching Assistant qualification, or equivalent, and experience of working as an HLTA with Primary-aged children. - Role is term-time only, working 7.5 or 7.75 hours per week: 7.5 hours/week – Monday 08:30-12:30 and Friday 08:30-12:00 (£4,350 per annum) 7.75 hours/week – Thursday 08:15-12:30 and Friday 08:30-12:00 (£4,495 per annum) - The annual salary is paid in twelve equal monthly instalments and includes statutory paid holiday (to be taken during school holidays). - Application instructions: Completed applications should be emailed to recruitment@... or posted to: Recruitment Team... **Please note that applications will only be accepted on the School’s own application form. We are unable to consider CVs.** (We must remove application instructions.) - Safeguarding: St Peter’s Preparatory School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Shortlisted candidates will undergo an online check. The successful candidate will also be required to complete full child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service. (This is substantive? It's about safeguarding checks. Might be considered part of Requirements or maybe separate section? The instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real specific content. This is specific content about safeguarding checks. Could be placed under Requirements or maybe a separate "Safeguarding" but not in list of allowed headings. Allowed headings are limited to those given. So we need to fit this info into one of those headings. Probably under Requirements or Qualifications. Since it's about checks required for the role, could be under Requirements. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. This safeguarding statement is not boilerplate? It's specific to the school's commitment. Might be considered relevant. We'll include it under Requirements or maybe a separate "Requirements" bullet list. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for the job title. We need to decide which sections to include: - About the role: we have introductory paragraph describing school and role. That's suitable. - Responsibilities: we have duties: provide support to teaching staff in academic development and pastoral care of individual children or groups of children, including SEND pupils, from Nursery to Year 8. Teach whole classes in accordance with teacher-set plans as required. Could be a list. - Requirements: we have positive and proactive approach, love and enthusiasm towards education of children. Also safeguarding checks? Might be separate but we can include under Requirements. - Qualifications: suitable Higher Level Teaching Assistant qualification, or equivalent, and experience of working as an HLTA with Primary-aged children. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could infer positive and proactive approach, love and enthusiasm. But those are more personal attributes; could be under Skills. However we already have them in Requirements. Might be better to put personal attributes under Skills, and formal qualifications under Qualifications. Let's see. - Benefits: statutory paid holiday (to be taken during school holidays). Also maybe annual salary paid in twelve equal monthly instalments? That's more Pay. - Pay: salary amounts: £4,350 per annum (7.5 hrs) or £4,495 per annum (7.75 hrs). Paid in twelve equal monthly instalments. - Schedule: term-time only, working 7.5 or 7.75 hours per week with specific days/times. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we include only those with real content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

    About the role

    St Peter’s Preparatory School, Lympstone, is one of the most successful and forward-looking independent preparatory schools in the South West, awarded a ‘significant strength’ in our most recent ISI Inspection (May 2024), and we pride ourselves on outstanding learning support. We are seeking a Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) to provide support to teaching staff in the academic development and pastoral care of individual children or groups of children, including SEND pupils, from Nursery to Year 8. The role holder will be expected to teach whole classes in accordance with teacher-set plans as required.

    Responsibilities

    • Provide support to teaching staff in the academic development and pastoral care of individual children or groups of children, including SEND pupils (Nursery to Year 8).
    • Teach whole classes in accordance with teacher-set plans as required.

    Requirements

    • Positive and proactive approach.
    • Love and enthusiasm towards the education of children.
    • Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people; successful candidates will undergo an online check and full child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

    Qualifications

    • Suitable Higher Level Teaching Assistant qualification, or equivalent.
    • Experience of working as an HLTA with Primary‑aged children.

    Skills

    Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to work proactively and positively within a team.

    But we need to ensure we don't invent content. The Skills section we added "Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to work proactively and positively within a team." This is not explicitly stated; we inferred from positive and proactive approach. Might be considered invention. Better to avoid Skills if not explicitly stated. The posting does not list specific skills besides positive/proactive approach and love/enthusiasm. Those could be considered personal attributes, maybe under Requirements. We could move them to Requirements and not have Skills section. Let's see if we need Skills at all. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills if not clearly stated. Thus we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now Benefits: statutory paid holiday (to be taken during school holidays). That's a benefit. Also maybe the annual salary paid in twelve equal monthly instalments could be considered part of Pay, not Benefits. Thus Benefits section:

    Statutory paid holiday (to be taken during school holidays).

    Pay: we have two options with salaries. We'll present as list. Schedule: term-time only, working 7.5 or 7.75 hours per week with specific days/times. We need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's craft. Potential duplication: The schedule includes the hours and days; Pay includes salary. Ensure we include both. Now check for any boilerplate: We removed application instructions, safeguarding statement we kept under Requirements. That's fine. Now output HTML. Make sure to use proper escaping? Not needed. Let's produce:

    The annual salary is paid in twelve equal monthly instalments.

    Schedule

    Term‑time only.

    Check duplication: Pay section includes the same schedule details as listed; Schedule section just says term-time only. Might be redundant. Better to separate: Pay section just salary info; Schedule section just hours/days. Let's adjust. Pay: list salaries only. Schedule: list hours/days. Thus:

    Pay

    • £4,350 per annum (7.5 hours/week option).
    • £4,495 per annum (7.75 hours/week option).

    The annual salary is paid in twelve equal monthly instalments.

    Schedule

    • 7.5 hours/week – Monday 08:30‑12:30 and Friday 08:30‑12:00.
    • 7.75 hours/week – Thursday 08:15‑12:30 and Friday 08:30‑12:00.

    Term‑time only.

    Now Benefits: statutory paid holiday. Check we haven't missed any substantive info: The statement about "The annual salary
